What makes a good model photo?
It’s usually best to start the shoot with simple poses, sitting and standing, get some decent poses and photos in the bag, and then move on. As the shoot progresses, you can incorporate things that are a little more creative, more candid shots, looking off-camera, folding your arms, moving around a bit.
How do models communicate with photography?
Talk to your client. Communicate what you want, what looks good, and direct them into poses.

Find a few things they’re doing really well, and use positive reinforcement to boost their confidence.
How do models charge?
Modeling pay rates can be per hour, flat rate or a day rate. If the shoot is short (1-3 hours), then an hourly rate is appropriate (i.e. $50 – $75/hour for models with a bit of experience and $75 – $100/hour or higher for experienced/pro models).
