In theory, photographing models should be easy: professional models look good in front of a camera and they know how to pose, right? How hard can it be? But when you're a photographer who's never taken that leap, and you don't know the first thing about shooting professional talent and everything that entails, it quickly becomes a daunting task. How do you find the right model? Where do you shoot? What do the backgrounds need to look like? What should the model be wearing?

In theory, photographing models should be easy: professional models look good in front of a camera and they know how to pose, right? How hard can it be? But when you're a photographer who's never taken that leap, and you don't know the first thing about shooting professional talent and everything that entails, it quickly becomes a daunting task. How do you find the right model? Where do you shoot? What do the backgrounds need to look like? What should the model be wearing? How do you coach the model to give you the perfect expression that you need to make your picture sing? What's the best way to light this person? How do I retouch this image? "Shooting models" is not only about making someone look good in front of your camera; it's about controlling every aspect of the image so the photographer's vision becomes a reality.

Amsterdam-born Frank Doorhof has been photographing fashion and glamour models and teaching these skills for years. With numerous DVDs and Kelby Training classes under his belt, he is an instructor who lives and breathes this subject matter. In Photographing Models: Everything Photographers Need to Know Before, During, and After the Shoot, Frank covers everything the photographer needs to know to get underway in this kind of work: how to find the right models, make-up artists, and stylists; backgrounds, props, and clothes; lighting—whether small flash, studio, or even natural light; coaching the model to get the look you need; retouching; marketing; and the technical foundations you need to know regarding light metering and color calibration. Toward the end of the book, Frank pulls it all together and walks the reader through an entire photo shoot from start to finish. By the end of Photographing Models, the reader is well-equipped to take on the challenge of finding and working with professional talent, and succeeding!

Product Description
For the first time ever, world-famous photographer and fashion lighting instructor Frank Doorhof takes you behind the scenes to reveal every step of his model-photography workflow–the same workflow that has made him a hero to photographers around the world thanks to his practical, budget conscious, no-nonsense approach.

In this groundbreaking book, Frank starts right at the beginning with how to find models, find great locations, work with backgrounds (you’ll be amazed at his tricks for creating stunning backgrounds for just a few bucks), and work by yourself or with a team (stylist, hair stylist, and makeup artist) to create an image that will get your photography noticed. Then, it’s on to an in-depth look at the lighting setups and looks that made Frank famous (complete with diagrams and detailed explanations).

You’ll see how Frank lights his images (you’ll be shocked at how simple most of his lighting setups are and you’ll be able to create these same setups yourself), plus he covers the critical little stuff nobody else is talking about, including: how to calibrate your monitor (and why it’s so important); how to use a color target to nail your color every single time; and why (and how) to use a light meter to get consistent, reproducible lighting each and every shoot.

Frank also shares his own retouching techniques through step-by-step tutorials, and he takes you from start to finish through a number of different looks so you can see exactly how it’s done, and recreate these same looks yourself. If you’ve ever wished there was one book that covers it all, the whole process of photographing models from start to finish, not leaving anything out, then this is the book for you.
