Priority Fixes from Your Report

1. Center the subject and keep consistent headroom.
2. Increase sharpness by using steady camera and good light.
3. Relax shoulders and lengthen the torso to create cleaner body geometry.
4. Keep wrists and ankles fully inside the frame to protect silhouette continuity.
5. Keep palette and white balance more consistent across the set for stronger cohesion.

Keep Doing

• Keep lighting soft and even across the face.
• Maintain simple styling and clean backgrounds.
• Keep expression natural and camera-aware.

Why This Metric Matters

Framing and pose structure decide whether agencies can read body line, expression intent, and outfit silhouette quickly.

How BModel Measures It

BModel tracks pose-type coverage, missing pose classes, framing alignment, headroom balance, and body geometry signals.

Fix It Now: 5 Actions

1. Shoot full-body, three-quarter, and headshot in the same session.
2. Center subject intentionally before pressing shutter.
3. Keep consistent headroom and avoid accidental crop compression.
4. Use posture cues (chest open, neck lengthened, shoulders set).
5. Retake weak pose types instead of only polishing the strongest one.

Common Mistakes

• Repeating same pose family across all photos.
• Tilting camera to compensate for posture issues.
• Under-occupancy where subject reads too small.
• Keeping dynamic poses that break garment readability.

7-Day Improvement Protocol

1. Day 1: pre-build shot order (headshot, three-quarter, full-body).
2. Day 2-3: execute two rounds with camera height variations.
3. Day 4: remove repeated pose patterns and keep one best per type.
4. Day 5: micro-correct framing and posture in quick retake.
5. Day 6-7: re-audit and check pose/framing deltas.

FAQ

• Best shooting order?
