Working with Models Is Sometimes Not Easy, but It Can Be Worse

Every photographer with more than one experience of photographing models will confirm that it is by no means easy. But it can be worse.

It happens quite commonly that a model is an hour or more late, some are two weeks late, and another doesn’t turn up for the arranged shoot at all. But I remember a colleague who runs workshops on photographing dragonflies. He told me how they gather a group of photographers, sit down somewhere in the reeds and wait for a dragonfly to fly in. I asked: „And what if it doesn’t fly in?„, and he smiled and said: „That has happened to me too; in the end we photographed a mayfly as a close relative of the dragonflies…„.

I sighed – „poor things“ 🙂
