The same goes for the 'flirting angle'... HOWEVER...

Both you and I have a legit, verifiable history that can be checked up on... The person reading the e-book, and then booking his first model, does not have the same credibility...

Therefore, while the girl infront of your camera, or my camera, may well be new, or established, at least she knows the names of other models who have been there before her, and sees that the end product is going to be legitimately sold, alongside many other models doing similar shoots etc...

But the new guy - Well, I personally wouldn't recommend that he tries to flirt, or 'fool about' (Mentally, not physically) with the model...

Again, its all down to the individual, but I think that suggesting a brand new guy acts exactly the same way as a guy who has done shoots 100s of times, might not be the best approach for him to take...
Yes I need to totally rework that section. A shooter's personality is what can make or kill a shoot.
