What are the fundamentals (in feeling) for a great model shot vs. (bartender) portfolio shot?
ChatGPT zei:
Got it — you want the feeling fundamentals rather than just technicals. Here’s the distinction:
Great Model Shot (Fashion/Commercial Energy)
Feeling fundamentals:
Effortless Iconic → The vibe is aspirational. Viewer thinks: "I want to be them or wear that."
Clean Presence → Pose, posture, and gaze convey control, polish, and intentionality.
Elevated Mood → Even when casual, it feels curated — lighting, wardrobe, and framing elevate reality into aesthetic storytelling.
Timeless Confidence → The subject doesn’t "try" — they are. Energy radiates confidence without effort.
Think: magazine cover, campaign, scroll-stopping IG editorial.
Portfolio Shot (Bartender / Service Industry Energy)
Feeling fundamentals:
Approachable Realness → The vibe is authentic. Viewer thinks: "I’d trust them with my drink and conversation."
Inviting Warmth → Expression (smile, eyes, body language) signals openness and friendliness.
Professional Competence → Posture + props (bar, shaker, bottles) convey capability and readiness.
Relatable Personality → Less polished-perfect, more human-accessible. You want the viewer to feel they’d vibe with you in person.
Think: LinkedIn headshot meets lifestyle brand, approachable but still sharp.
👉 So in essence:
Model shot = aspirational, iconic, curated energy.
Portfolio (bartender) shot = approachable, trustworthy, personable energy.
Do I/you need and(/or) want guidance for each (like what to do with eyes, jawline, hands, stance) so you self-direct shoots, visuals and/or be(come) happy?
