Sorry ... i hava a little big question.
how do you keep a person still during the chassis loading time?
Between when you focus and when you insert the plate and remove the volet.
I rarely succeed.
Sorry for my poor google english

This is what I do.

Sitting down or lying down is easy - get her comfortable and ask her not to move.

If she is standing up :-
Make sure she is standing in a stable position - both feet on the ground a little apart.
If possible, get her to stand on post-it notes (in a studio) or have her toes touching small stones (outside) - so she knows where her feet need to be.
If you can, get a 3rd point of contact with the model - a hand holding something or touching an out of shot spare tripod.
If you cannot have her touching something, get her to line her eye up with something - a mark on the wall or feature in the landscape as well as an out of shot tripod - so when she is in the right position the two objects line up exactly when her head is in the right position.

I also suggest that they practice yoga and concentrate on their breathing.

Generally, experienced models are better at it than beginners - but some models get-it and can do it and others never will.

Good luck

Martin

Just looking at images from Thanksgiving portrait session with family (household), and the tension between achieving strong bokeh AND crisp focus where I wanted it was born out in the images. Sometimes yes, but often didn't get both.

I am totally jumping on your excellent practical suggestions for models staying put. Better than my barking at them to stay put.

Thanks!
