From me as a photographer… “What I look for in a model”
I’m not a fashion, gravure, or erotic photographer, so I’m not a photographer of what people call “cute,” “good style,” or “sexy.” I don’t want a model to have a “good quality”. I think the most important thing is to have a “presence” that tells something just by being reflected in it. I don’t think the model in the photo here has a deep knowledge of art, but the presence that comes from being reflected in the photo is unparalleled, and in that respect, she is an excellent model.
It is true that some models have an excellent sense of art and are well-versed in art. Since it is a joint work, it is ideal to collaborate with a model who has excellent senses.
I think anything is possible as long as (the model) is dignified in the photo. Then, it’s very difficult to tell (to the model) that “you’re dignified”.
