It is always important to remember that the photographer makes the photo. He composes the image, which just might include additional decorative elements, like posed females, to add interest and balance to the overall composition. The model, by herself, is not a creative factor. Speaking of poses, professional models have a knack for knowing what each situation calls for and delivering a natural expressive quality. |

The only difference between portrait and landscape model photography is the emphasis placed on the subject. Here, more than 50% of the image is model, so it is a portrait, any less and it would be a landscape. A very skinny model usually winds up in a landscape no matter how close the camera is. |

Adding accessory items, like boa feathers, a long string of pearls or a slinky chain can add significantly to a common alluring pose. Size and weight of such accessories need to be slight so as to not overpower the bulk of the model, but rather give a delicate emphasis. It also gives the model something to play with during long technical shooting sessions where the photographer must refer to the camera instruction manual to research proper settings. |

It is an unmutable maxim of photography that the model must always face squarely into the sun, even in cases where that puts her back to the camera. A smile, an accessory flower, a care-free turn of the head and there she is, pretty as a picture. |
