Ladies Stop Being Insecure About Photos of Other Pretty Girls
What Shooting Models Over the Years has Taught Me
I started shooting models in my early twenties. I had started taking photos and working on my photography seriously after college. I created a community of photographers and models. We met once a week on Sundays. I learned a lot, mostly about models, photography, and advertising. Here are some of my takeaways from the visual world:
Photos Suck You In
Photos get you to crave things. Food. Sex. Love. Family. Happiness. The good ones are trying to tell you something. Humans are visual creatures. Images tell us a story and we read between the lines. Our brain lights up with clues and fills in a story.
