I had a model over today who seemed not relaxed at the moment of exposure - but looked great while she was relaxed - which seemed to be all the time except during exposure. She seemed to see or sense me pushing in on the shutter release cable. Has anyone else experienced this? I think I can understand it because I similarly am not relaxed while being photographed, perhaps because I'm used to photographing, and not the other way around.
It didn't seem to happen while I was using my SLRs (Graflex Super D And Pentax 67), though I used these outside and at the beginning of the shoot. It did happen while I shot 5x7 and 8x10, and 4x5 though seemingly to a slightly lesser extent. Past models have exhibited this tendency much less if at all. I'm not great at eliciting poses, so I might be partly responsible. Hoping for any insights here.
Thanks,
Bill
