I'm a newbie~ look at my CS status. And there are some things that I do not understand aoround here. after some observation it is clear that some photographers enjoy going to events and shooting trade show models.
I do understand the difficulty and limitations in shooting at events. The lighting's not under your control, you have tonnes of people who might be blocking your shots... I also understand that it is through this that some obtain precious learning experiences. Some eventually branch out to doin portraits shots while some choose to remain shooting at events.
It is also at these tradeshows and events that the contacts of the 'models' were obtained. A thread offering to shoot these models would be started here in CS. Scurrying photogs would 'sign up' for these shoots if the girls are pretty, paying a small fee. The girls would bring several outfits to change. But there's no theme.
Pardon my ignorance and pardon me if i sound arty-farty, but I do not understand the reasons behind these shoots. Most of them portray no mood. I see beautiful smiles from the 'models' but nothing beyond their eyes. What is it then, are the photographers trying to capture?:dunno:
And another thing, trade show models are trade show models. it does not necessary mean that they know how to pose. there are so many categories of models: trade-show models, photography models, runway models etc etc. how then do you decide if she is suitable for a shoot? Just a pretty face?
Any answers? :sweatsm:
