Mel really worked to listen to my concerns that I have with modeling/photography and explained how much work actually goes into all those perfect shots that we see. I really liked her passionate and intuitive approach, rather than something overly technically focused! Mel had me do exercises that were focused on lighting/scouting different locations. We went over setting up the tripod (something I had avoided for a long time, because I thought it might be too complicated) and other gadgets/necessities to bring to a photoshoot. She also offered a lot of validation about having the confidence to take photos in public, and dealing with feeling awkward about someone seeing you. Thank you Mel!
