Because they are always super careful about what they do, how they do and who they do it with, they expect all photographers to be communicative and not just talkers. When you take a shot, whether good or bad, try as much as possible not to stay mute a d keep everything yourself. Discuss with them and make the best pick.
Also, before a shoot, try to communicate the location and props with them before the actual day of the shoot. Most importantly, let them know or at least brief them about what kind of shoot it is going to be and what props are to be used. Don’t finalize it. Make them choose and share their opinion.
On the day of shooting, share your thoughts and how you want to position the shoot. Try to explain the concept of the shoot and how it is going to be achieved. Put the model in your shoes and let them find it easy to portray the kind of postures and pictures you are aiming to achieve at the end of the shoot.
