Shooting with a professional model is different than shooting with an inspiring amateur model. Both of those cases have their differences.
While shooting with an amateur model allows you to find those hidden gems, they usually need more direction. Professional models tend to have "That Model Look" on them they are easier to work with, but most of the time you will end with that look that is so familiar.
For this particular photoshoot we were doing some images for my friend who loves to knit and has quite of collection of knit wear. We had a little budget for a model so we placed a paid casting on BeScouted and got ourselves a young professional model.
And that intense look that i loved about this model that goes so well with soft knitwear.
Good thing about professional models is that that they tend to be more reliable. For this photoshoot model had to wake up early like 5 AM and travel from a different city. She was pinpoint on time.
Since it was early a morning, coffee went really well with a few editorial shots :)
That we did in a small coffee place in an old town of Vilnius.
And we have even managed to do some morning exercise
Have a cosy and energetic day!

Love your work David. I bet modelling pays well especially for the pros.

Thanks mate. To be honest, the average pro model pay is ~18k USD per year. So it is not much, considering the fact that there is a distinction of:
That is why we are developing that freelance platform BeScouted where freelance models, photographers, makeup artists would get in direct connection with businesses and would be paid 100% of the value that helps businesses to cut the cost and shoot more often. And empowers freelancers to earn more avoiding the middleman.

Oh I love this session! She is great and definitely knows how to make those big, woolly sweaters look great (and so edgy on the first photos with that look).
Great photos :D

Oh didn't know so much is cut from the pay of models. You have my respect in your support in helping out models and photographers to get the pay they much deserve. Also getting exposure for them is a big thing. Much respect in what you are doing. You're a legend mate. Re steeming your post.

That was indeed a very intense look. Do you think maybe all pro models have that look because they are angry they have to get up so early? lol :)

I agree, professional model are... so easier to work with. I am not an experienced fashion photographer but I already felt the difference. Nice pictures, I love the 1st one the most and the jumping one.

It definitely is. At the same time it is different. They kind of tend to look all the same in all the images? While amateurs are hard to work with but you can get unexpected candid results :) So i like both :)

Having never worked with one, I can only comment on what I see. The seductive without trying look. Professional.
The first sultry, pouty look and the one jumping in the street are probably my favorites, although, I do love all of them, up to and including the close up of the pattern.
I tend to agree with you that the unusual, the unposed, the surprise shot of the amateur could be better, just look at the character of street shots.
As usual, your photography is awesome. I had a good time. Can I go on the next shoot?

You are always welcome :) I probably misused the word better. I should have said different. It is hard to use better worse when you talk about photography or any other form of art by the matter. Thank you for your compliments, i am flattered :)

Truth. And I even copied your wrongness. :)) Different is a much better term. Nothing is wrong or better. It is in the eye of the beholder.
