Emotion





So many times when I work with newer models, I get two facial expression. Very happy, and blank. The blank look is sometimes the better look because the "happy" is over done and the smile contorted. If you model or want to model, you need to make a mirror your best friend. A full length mirror.

This model had a great smile, but we pushed way beyond that. This shoot is not a great example of subtle looks. We went over the top. As I have worked on stage for years, I've learned that often, to do subtle things well, it is often helpful to be able to go over the top and learn how to pull back.

You need an entire range of expression. Get that full length mirror installed and practice.
