it is not about shooting
i feel you would learn more if you just stood there and watch
and pay attn to the more experienced photogs
better still join a workshop instead

sometime many photographers take turn to pose the models, you can see what's work and what's not.I agreed. But it give more opportunity for us to pose the model (or try out some personal idea) as compared to so many photographers assigned to one model.
Ortega said what I want to say.I do get once in a while where I was grouped with more experienced photographers. Before I can press the shutter button, the photographer will call the model and the focus of the model is not on me anymore.
for me?The question is... where are the experienced photographers? They are not joining the organised shoots...

Just wondering anyone interested in doing private shoot instead of joining the shoot in "Workshops, Studio/Model Shoots" section. I'm not trying to take away the business from them but it will give us more control over our expection.
Correct me if I'm wrong. All the shoot I've participated in does not include a MUA. I do understand that this is due to the cost. With private shoot, not only we can get a MUA, we will have more time with the model to adjust and refine the pose or surrounding. Cost might be higher than joining the shoot mentioned above. I'm thinking of a small group like 4 people.
Please let me know your view.
Thank you.
Thanks Deadpoet.
I'm very new in photography. I've attended a few organized photo shoot sessions and tried to post the photos I took for comments so as to improve myself. However, other than my composition and PP skill I've noticed that most of the time it is related to things like eyelashes, makeup, hair, etc. Since outdoor photo shoot session usually don't provide a MUA, I was wondering whether private shoot session is better since we can include a MUA and have more time to pose the model and look out of the background. However with a higher cost I guess.
Another issue is that I don't really have any midrange zoom lens. With one camera, I'll need to change my lens once in a while. And usually by doing that I'll miss some shoots (as in the pose).
I am still here, currently busy in "other works", need to make some money first so can buy the new Nikon xxx (censored).Yeah man, I missed Astin's shoots.

Seriously speaking, regarding the model shoots, I would suggest the organizer states whether MUA is included or not included, not all shoots need MUA, and some shoot MUST need MUA (model cannot do their own), and some MUA can do hair some cannot, (just like photogs some can shoot manual some cannot)
For private shoot, its a challenge for newbie, there are many unexpected things that u never know will happen and do happen, u organize 1 time u will know. U may not need a theme at all, just practise with pose, light, mood, surrounding environment, interaction with model, capture the moment, etc.
Astin, let's do a "private" shoot together. Has been a long time since we shot togeher.Many models have grown up already, got married, went overseas study, joined SIA, banks, insurance, etc. Who u miss?
