Photography Tips for a Female Photo Session – How To Use the Hair
1. A model's hair is a very important detail and can become the central point of your composition. You can make very beautiful poses for photo sessions with the help of long, well-kept hair of the model. The hair attracts attention and distract the viewer from body imperfections. Look at the famous photographers' works – they always use models with long beautiful hair during their photo shoots. The classical pose is to make the model lie down and spread her hair around, which can make any girl a beauty. Remember that beautiful hair always accentuates the beauty and the expressiveness of the face and the eyes of the girl – it’s the main photography tip for a female photo session.
2. If the photograph has a girl with her long hair loose, where she is doing something with her hair, for example, when she is brushing her hair, the girl's charm, and femininity increase a lot. The main thing here is to spread the elbows to the sides, other than point them towards the photographer.
3. The hair can create the dynamics, if the model allows the hair to be blown around in the wind, be shaken or waved around. You can use wet hair, and the model would have to throw the hair on the back, while the photographer would be making the shot.
4. Too much wax or spray in the hair can make the hair shimmer from the flash, so you have to take that into consideration during the photo shoot.
5. The hair style can easily compensate for the face being asymmetric – you just need to cover half of the model's face with the hair.
6. The hair, that the model has in the picture, forms the attitude of the viewer towards the model and creates its image for the viewer. In reality, of course, this image has nothing to do with the real intellect and the character of the model – but who cares? Our task is to create a beautiful image, a work of art that everyone can love and admire.
7. If the forehead of the model is completely open, the majority of the viewers will perceive the model as intellectual or intelligent. That is, of course, not always necessary for a girl (more often otherwise).
8. If the hair style is covering the forehead of the model half way, this photograph will be perceived neutrally. That is the “safest” hair style for most of the purposes.
9. A completely covered forehead with the hair will attract the attention of the viewer towards the forehead. This will make the model daring and strong in the mind of the viewer. This is usually completely inappropriate for an image of a woman (unless you are taking a picture of an athlete, for example, who needs this type of an image).
