When my model for this shoot came over, she told me that I might have to direct her because she wasn’t a dancer, she wasn’t a natural poser, and she had two arms that, in front of the camera, were more or less superfluous.
So she came over and I did my best to provide suggestions, but my attention is almost entirely focused on the lights and the camera. Having to also worry about the body is a lot.
Luckily though we collaborated very effectively, and the photos just flowed.
