Amateur models tend to be a little stressed out because they do not know anything about modeling. They become defensive and withdrawn, figuring that I will criticize them or their body. In reality, I just need my shot. I want my models to enjoy themselves because I want them to come back for more. I want my models to tell their friends to come work for me, too.
 
As a photographer, I take every assignment as it comes. If you have large breasts, small breasts, droopy breasts, it does not matter because I will always take my shot. Some models have a lot of photographs "in them" while others do not. If I can get more photographs out of you then I will ask you to come back and work with me again.

A model needs to be assertive and take charge at times. My favorite models can just step in front of the camera and begin to pose without me saying a word. I only need to make minor adjustments to capture what I need on film. Models which require me to pose them like a mannequin take the most amount of work. Some can actually drain all the energy out of the room because they are self-conscious, defensive, and withdrawn.

The difference between a good model and a poor model is their experience. It takes a year or two for a model to come up to speed on how the process works.

Most bad experiences are caused by misinformation, poor communication, and unrealistic goals.

Here is the truth behind some common modeling myths:

I have put together a book containing feedback from professional models as well as my own experience dealing with photographers, models, agents, and the dreaded boyfriends. It contains some coarse language, a few illustrations, and is intended for mature audiences.

The book is a guide for the amateur, female, nude model and how to deal with guys like me - the photographer. In the real world there is an infinite number of situations you might encounter. You may skip amateur nude modeling and visit a modeling agency instead. You might get into fashion and runway modeling. No matter what you do, you will need to make some important decisions. I will try to prepare you.
