Know how to direct the client to give the look you want

It takes practice to learn how to communicate your posing ideas to the client. With time, you ll learn how to give directions clearly. For example, I commonly tell clients and models Don t show any teeth for this one, but just think about smiling as you pose. The client always understands that direction easily. Other photographers ask the client to think about warm cookies, but that s just way way way too corny for my taste
