Why it worked

The video taps into a common observation within the modeling and photography industry, offering insights into the subjective nature of beauty and photographic potential. The discussion is relatable to those in the industry and provides a behind-the-scenes look at casting and client expectations.

Summary

The video discusses the phenomenon of models who photograph better than they appear in person. The speakers explore the reasons behind this, including how clients and photographers perceive models based on their portfolios versus their in-person appearance. It highlights the importance of a strong portfolio and how a photographer's eye can identify a model's potential on camera.

do you see models sometimes where like they photograph so strongly and then you meet them in person they don't look like what they look like but I see how we can get it there is there that understanding with clients that when they photograph that model they will translate on camera even if they don't in person is there that conversation that is had this two options it happens often that the model look better in book and then look worse in real life and the opposite when they look strong in pictures and not that much in in real life in that case it's so much important the book and the previous job that you had because the final result delivery is the picture so it's more important how you look in the picture than how you look in real life but in that case he has to to to have a strong material strong portfolio strong books where you can showcase all these past works and how he can fit in that project in pictures because this happens yeah when when they're not really really sure about the model when they see face to face it's most common the other the other option when the model look very good in pictures and then they don't look good in person in that case it's easier to don't get confirmed if they don't like in person which is interesting because some people look better in person than they do in the photos and they don't translate well in photos even though they look so good in person from the client perspective they give a better impression moral is up like yeah then don't get disappointed because if you see you don't like them in person you get disappointed from what you see so you already have a negative right like you confidence they're lost confidence in them if if they don't so it's hard that but if the opposite you're not super sure from the pictures but then in person oh my god I look good you already have inside your natural like a confidence that right he can look good also in pictures you can make the good light you can have a good photographer and you can make him look good on camera and not only on in person it makes me think that photographers would be really good casting directors because I can tell when a model is gonna photograph well and when they just aren't and I would be able to communicate to the client hey this model may not look like what they look like in their photos in real life but they do photograph amazingly
