    @ashtonhill2052 Před 2 lety +163

    I think the biggest insecurity Connor had was with posing, and as someone who does photography on the side and also does cosplaying on the side, I wanted to share a few tiny tips (even if he never sees it maybe someone will, hell I don't know)
    1. get into the mind of the character. You aren't posing as you, you're posing as the character. Let yourself embrace them and posing will become more fluid. It's like acting, without words.
    2. look at the first few takes. You'll find what you do or do not like: your arm may feel awkward or your smile isn't quite how you want it.
    3. communicate with your crew! most likely the photographer already has a few ideas of what they want to photograph so try to get an idea while you're with them
    4. have fun with it! the whole point is to giggle and laugh and feel like a different version of your kickass self!
    ps: you did wonderful Connor!

    • @MyFedora
      @MyFedora Před měsícem +1

      As an amateur photographer, I know how important it is to make people feel at ease during a photoshoot. I'm really surprised to hear that Connor felt so uncomfortable and unsure of what to do during the entire session. It's hard to pinpoint exactly what went wrong, but I can only imagine the worst case scenario: Maybe the Japanese(?) photographer had never worked with English speakers, and didn't know English, forcing Connor to rely on a translator. That sounds like a nightmare. Or it could've been that the photographer wasn't experienced in directing and posing people, which is kind of their job, right? It's reasonable to expect professional photographers to help their models feel relaxed and guide them through the process. Whatever the case, it doesn't sound like an ideal situation at all.
