Everyone has their own way of working and respect them.
My way of organising a model shoot, is to have a pre-discussion before the shoot.
Need to let the subject to understand what is your requirements and listen to their limitations. At the same time, you need to access the subject strengh and weakness on feature and experience. So that you can be prepared and avoid any issues occured during the shoot.
If without meeting the subject in person, you will most probably face unforseen situations and the shoot will become unorganised. Unless, you know the subject well and they understand your requirements, you can forget the meet up.
There is a beauty in everyone. I like to present the subject in better way and brings out their personality. This applies to other different subjects or objects I shoot.
No worries Bro, if you are not available to shoot. I will do this by myself or anyone want to join? :think:
