Camera angles to hide different types of body faults??

[nasoj21]

Is there already a thread that covers some of this kind of stuff?

I have two different models that I am shooting with soon that I need to kinda figure this stuff out for.

One has a really long chin. How do I not excentuate it?

and one has a high forehead.


Another thing I would be curious about is rules for posing hands.

I'd say hire a really good hair stylist for both of them.

Big noses, short and tall people are much easier to deal with.

Agree. The right hair styling will help to "correct" the shape of the face while strands of hair can be used to hide or partly obscure the said features. Carefully positioned hands, and props like hats, scarfs, etc. can also be used to achieve the same objective.

That is a really good idea. I do have a hair stylist that I am trying to hook up with, but she said she is not available the days that I shooting the above mentioned models. I never thought about that helping maybe I will reschedule for when she is available.

If their features are that big of a deal, it will make all the difference in the world and will be worth it to them (as your clients) to reschedule.

well I still think that it would be good to start a thread or to know a good place that talks about camera angles for different flaws persay.

One eye bigger than the other. I think that the small eye should be closer to the camera so it looks bigger.
For bigger women shoot from a higher angle, with them turned sideways towards you.
For skinny women have them facing you more. And from a more level angle.

I know there are a lot more tid bits that you pros know but may not even think of anymore.
