Models need a constant flow of feedback from the photographer. It's like oxygen. It need not be verbal, work with me baby that's great, it can be as unspoken as the rhythmic pop of the strobe and firing of the shutter. Each pulse becomes a heartbeat that she paces herself with, telling her that what she's doing is good and pretty and loved.
So what happens when a model is faced with total silence? What if you just tell her to "model", and then deprive her of the resulting flow of feedback? Just a silent audience, no heartbeat, no pulse.
Beautiful awkwardness. -Clayton James Cubitt
