Photographing peo­ple with darker skin is a lit­tle dif­fer­ent than cap­tur­ing those with fairer skin. You don’t worry so much about the colour tones dur­ing shoot as after, when you’re post-processing the photos.

I also find that, in gen­eral, girls are nat­ural posers. They’ll change posi­tions on their own ini­tia­tive and play with the cam­era, which is very dif­fer­ent from guys, who will just stand there until you give them some sort of direc­tion. Each has their own advan­tages, as I can feed off the cre­ativ­ity of a model who wants to try dif­fer­ent things, but also work well with those who will be pos­ing dolls for me.
