how should i ask the model to pose?

SuperMangn says:

There not that amazing, 8 mins is so short. It would take much longer to cover the subject well. These videos are just an overview on the subjects and are not a robust guide at all.

Simaster says:

better than anything you or I could do. The amount of effort it takes to put together and edit an 8 minute video is astonishing.

SuperMangn says:

Yes but the people behind this video `adorama tv` are a wealthy business with many people working for them, including editors and pro photographers. They could make much more in depth vids if they wanted and it would be no skin off their nose.

Simaster says:

there are more in depth videos on the actual adorama website – Mark (aka snapfactory) is just one guy, running his own business and managing to film high quality videos in his own time on top. I appreciate them and his work at least, as nothing else comes close on YT. To go through the complete repertoire of classic photography headshots and compositions would take forever I have 4 books on the subject alone. 8 minutes is a good jump off point.

Logan Sorenson says:

The entire video, I was imagining a Monty Python instructor, actually having a models limbs or head chopped off, and people are acting all normal, whilst the model is bleeding profusely …

hahaha

I totally agree with showing photographs to the subjects. So far I have had very good response.
