From Photography to Videography: Avoiding Common Mistakes When Filming Models

This is a very niche post for hobby photographers who are starting to explore their creative potential in video making.

We’re talking about people who photograph models and now want to start filming short beauty clips, reels, TikToks, etc. Some lean toward a sexier style, while others aim for a more artistic approach, but both styles follow the same fundamental rules to avoid making videos that are awkward or embarrassing to watch.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen this proven too many...

Results of February

Oh boy what a month it was!

Started in Bali with me being scammed for 400$ (have no prove if it was stolen in a hotel or in a money exchange and we will never find out).

Then after a few very inspiring photoshoots I had my first crash on a motorbike (still have some bruises)

Then I developed a pretty good skill in underwater modeling (still can barely swim, but can pose underwater no problem)

Mid-February I went back to S...

I’ve talked about this before, and I’m not tired of talking about it again.

An amateur photo shoot is instantly elevated when a photographer (or a model) brings an idea, a mood, a keyword, or a theme to the table. It’s SO MUCH BETTER than just saying, "Let’s meet and see what we can do. You’re pretty, I have a camera, the photos will be great."

They probably will be. But they won’t be unique or memorable.

So today, I’m making a little “to-do list” for mysel...

One print bug was fixed, and a few extra photos added!

The January is nearly over

Let's recap what happened this month in the life of Kate.

January 1: I was in NYC and posing for a beautiful sculpture.

I took part in some more projects; the most unusual one is the collodion photo that took us approx 9 hours to shoot and will take the photographer another many hours to assemble in an art piece. (stay tuned, I will show you soon!)

Jan 8: I visited Dubai for the first time.

Jan 12: I've ...

Calculating time at a paid non-commercial photoshoot, a model's perspective. Part 2

The Challenges of Hobby Shoots

Another challenge with 2-hour hobby shoots is that there’s often no time set aside to build rapport. Many photographers don’t use this limited time to get to know the model, leading to an awkward atmosphere where ideas and expectations aren’t communicated. This can result in a tense, silent work environment.

In contrast, half-day or full-day shoots allow for more relaxed interactions. There’s time to discuss and plan the shoot, understand e...

Calculating time at a paid non-commercial photoshoot, a model's perspective. Part 1

Recently, I had an issue during a hobby shoot where I was hired as a model for two hours. Midway through the shoot, the photographer complained that I took too many breaks—one to fix my hair, drink water, and reply to a message, and another for a quick bathroom break. Neither break lasted more than five minutes, yet he said it disrupted his workflow.

This experience made me want to share my perspective on how I understand paid time during a photoshoot.
