How to treat an uncooperative model
Well first of all, if you want to know what an uncooperative model is in photography, its a model that cant hold the posture that they're looking for or a model that cant handle the heat in the lights. We can talk about putting children involved and that is one example of an uncooperative model. In photography, you want to have a fine quality that can fit within the subject of the picture you're taking or its background. The time of the day would be especially important to the kids whether or not they are overly excited or acting a little moody during the shoot. Children are known to get bored real easily during that time, so you can have them interact and have them take pictures just for fun and making the process more enjoyable. As you know, trying to have the young ones be in specific poses, it starts to become difficult and frustrating at times, especially if they get into an uncooperative mood. Creating a good pose to the subject of the photo makes it look more entertaining, like for example, one photographer wanted his son to be on all fours in the grass, so he made him pretend to act like a lion. From there, its basically just how you approach the picture. You're gonna have to want to put them in many interactions, and just to have the kids use their own imagination, because maybe they could help you out just by using their mind. Like all these toys, or holidays like Easter and Christmas, an they turn out to have alot of fun just by being apart of the photo by interacting with objects or others.
Now when we talk photography, its not all about the wrong quality of the lighting, especially if the picture doesnt look as good, why not go black and white? By having a black and white quality, it makes the picture look more dramatic due to its effects and its side lighting. Now when you bring the siblings as models, it becomes even better, not because of all the chit-chatting when their parents get the camera out, but its when they actually start to find their poses, such as being affectionate, giving hugs, or other ways to get that vibe feeling to the final picture in the end. It basically just gives us the "off-guard" candid shot just between two people or more/less.
Besides shooting photos of people, animals count as an uncooperative model too ! With animals, they basically have the same similar traits with people, and that is to find the right time, and finding the one subject you plan to interest in. But in everything throughout photography, we always embrace the moment, especially if the one picture we captured meant of a memory or a moment, something we love or interest in, or just to have fun with what we take.Other than that, overall, uncooperative models can't always be "cooperative", but the more you do whats best for how you want the picture to turn out or how you interact yourself with the models in your shots, is better yet to look like a tremendous sight to see.
