Model portraits are unapologetically aesthetic, they should portray beauty and style and the viewer should have strong appreciation of that beauty. The models beauty is accentuated by use of impactful poses, and the use of light, colour and composition. Every pose and every expression should be a testament to the captivating power of beauty and charisma. The skill of the photographer is to see and understand and capture the beauty we all have, to build rapport, give direction, provide motivation, build confidence and to shoot beautiful images. Ultimately, shooting model portraits can be empowering for the model, and can reward with fantastic images that viewers will admire.
