Before you approach a model for photo modeling, try this simple count-down before shooting.
5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 - click!
5 views which change the outline of the body as it turns (front, ¾ front, side, ¾ back, back).
4 limbs (two arms, two legs) which vary the basic silhouette with their placement.
3 'p's - (P)urpose, (P)rops and (P)osition of the Camera.
Three external influences for change.
2 tracks (shoulder and hip) which affect subtle changes in proportion and meaning.
1 body-line which varies by how much the head and leg-line bend the basic silhouette.
An example of a pose you may ask of your model is the 'C' shape, where she curves her body naturally, and lies down.
