Portraiture

I feel like being a photographer, standing behind the camera, looking at the viewfinder,  smiling about what I see and clicking the shutter button is much easier than being a model for some photographers.  I didn’t feel the pain of being a model until i was in portraiture’s class from last quarter.   The Lowell DP light was shining on my face and I had to sit there for many hours and the heat of the light nearly set me on fire, but my photography classmates always asked me to smile. I tried to smile even though sometimes I was so tired but they still asked to smile and show some teeth.  Therefore, to smile that they could see the teeth, I had to smile with my twenty teeth showing and that’s how they smiled behind the camera and clicked.  However, thanks goodness that quarter is over; and I’m looking forward for advance portraiture in this semester.  And, the first assignment is pet portraiture.  So, i wonder  if my pet can be still under different strobe lights while the lights would strike everywhere and that would scare her enough.    After my experience from modeling last quarter , I know that my pet would feel the same “modeling pains” that I had to endure.
