Tip # 5

Give And Take
- Kelly Funk

Sport oriented imagery consists of two things: Sport and people. Without the people,
guess what? No sport, no shot. Models, good or bad can make or break the shoot, so
don't be shy when planning a shoot with people to include something sweet for their
trouble; you'd be amazed at how willing they are to help. If the shoot is compromising
their time, I'll include images that will not only make them willing to help but will
make it more fun to boot, happy models will make your bottom line happy too. Don't
be shy to approach people that you don't know either; your mouth is one of the most
important tools of our trade.

Note: images included are of people I met for the first time at the climbing site. With a
bit of sweet talk and promise of images they were all too happy to be models for a
day!

how-to advice delivered right to your door.
