Last Monday Dermot Byrne & Sarah Vogel gave us a great evening discussing how to pose models, giving us both the photographer's and model's view of how to pose and interact on a photoshoot.

This Monday it's your turn to work with some models. We have 4 models coming along so you will have plenty of opportunities to practice what you learnt last week.

The models are Sarah Vogel, Kitty LaRoux, Bella Dama and Jonny Kilfeather.

Remember to bring your camera and don't forget to tell the model what shot you are looking for! Communicate, communicate, communicate...
