It’s always a pleasure to work with professional models that know how to move and use their bodies, and Elena was certainly no exception. She didn’t lose a single second before starting to move and use her body to create different shapes and forms. If there’s any good tip to give about modeling that’s one of them, when you’re posing: think about the form/shape your body is creating for your viewer and play with that. Push the envelop.

In the second part of our session, we cooled down a bit and moved in with the camera for some nice close-up shots. Elena, like many Russian models, has a backbone and is not afraid to show it… so we played with her “tiger” side and hopefully made it come out in photos.

So I’m putting more photos than usual, but it should really allow you to see the extent of the posing work she was doing for us in studio. Thanks Elena!!

It’s very common in the industry to do test shoots. It’s simply impossible to have every single kind of photography or situation in one portfolio.

We got Kate to the make-up and Matsume for the hair-styling and had an entire day in studio covering a very wide range of styles, from portraits and head-shots, to artsy fashion and glamour.
