Never too old to learn...

Can an old dog learn new tricks...

One thing that you should always remember is to be open to ideas and willing to learn from each shoot. I have never been at a shoot or event that I have not learned from a photographer or other models. Everyone has their own perception of a successful shoot or event. Whether it is walking the runway or posing in the next big name pair of jeans, the most important thing to take from the situation is knowledge from the professionals within the industry.

Take the time to understand who is at the event and why. Observe and ask questions. The more you learn the more experienced you will become and the more comfortable you will be in front of the camera. Asking questions and willingness to learn is the most attractive attributes a model can have to a photographer.

Knowledge comes with experience so be willing to take all types of jobs to be more diverse within the business.
