DAY 1
Step 1
Get in groups of 3. There are 3/4 tables with 1 light on each. One student to pose in a seat on one side; one be the photographer on the other side and one manipulate the light.
The first model will pose facing the camera; arms on the table.
The second person will setup the light with a light on one side and the reflector on the other. There should be lots of light on the model.
The third person will be the Photographer.
Rotate as Photographer. Photographer poses the model doing head shots (shoulder and head). Each person should have at least
10 posed positions where the subject turns the body in the seat and the head mostly faces the camera (you may tilt the head on some but it is important that you have most of the face facing the camera for the “Glamour” exercise.).
Download the shots in a folder called - Day 1 Shoot Day. Rename the best image as: Glamour.jpg.
