That was the best example in how not to shoot a model I have ever seen. Well done.

what you need now is a post on the deliberate mistakes you made.

A. Don't shoot a video of a stills shoot with a bored model who thinks she's in charge.
Get her in for a casting and find out if she has a problem with anything before the shoot. She has a tattoo and if she wants to hide it tell her to go get it removed. Then come back to work as a nude model.

B. Don't keep flashing the same pose 10 times.
Waste of time and you illustrate to an experienced or newbie model that you know what you're doing by posing her. While doing the stills shoot you're establishing rapport, control in a gentle way and directing her in the way the video shoot should go.

Talk to the model.
Flattery is the best way, mixed with some jokes and a few double meaning flirts. You have to realise they all think we're pervs and to act like one is better than hiding it. I always tell girls there's no film in the camera and I only do this because I'm a pervert. They laugh and think the opposite.

As I said great example on how it's not done. Now can you show us the right one please.
