Before I started working with models on my Skype video project in 2015, I wanted an example of the type of image, model and state that I wanted to capture. I found the image above online. I decided to use it as an example of the model, state, headset and background that I wanted to capture during the Skype hypnosis and trance video demonstration sessions.
Model
The first thing that made me use the image above was the model. I don’t know her. Never met her. I never worked with her. I don’t know the photographer who shot her image. Cannot even remember where I found the image online. I thought she was the perfect model for the Skype video project. I wanted to find models like her. Assuming they would be able to do the job. Working on Skype platform with a black hypnotist for hypnosis and trance demonstration video sessions is not for most models.
Image
If you are a potential model reading this post, and you think you have what it takes to work with me online (a recreational and therapeutic black hypnotist) on the Black Hypnotist Project for the Skype Video Model, I would like you to become aware of the second reason why I decided to use the image above as an example of what I wanted for the Skype video project.
State
The mental and emotional state she was in when the photographer captured the image. It is a state that I often see in my very private practice when I am working with hypnosis and trance subjects. Notice how she was not posing or faking her state of mind. Her mental and emotional state looks real and natural. That was part of what I was looking for in my video demonstration models.
Headset
The next exciting element in the image above that made me use it as an example was the fact that she was wearing a headset. Because it is required for the Skype video project. Some of the models that I have worked with on the Skype video project saw the image. And they pointed out to me that it was not a headset with an in-built microphone. But rather, she is wearing earphones. Earphones are specifically designed for only listening to music. Not for recording your voice.
Microphone
Maybe they are right. Maybe there is no microphone attached to the headphones. Maybe they are wrong. Since we cannot see the rest of the wire. Maybe there is a microphone attached to one of the two black wires on her neck. We don’t know for sure 100%. But you get the idea of what I was looking for in my Skype models. I wanted a model who not only had a headset with a microphone attached to it. But most importantly, a model who is wearing a headset during the Skype video sessions just like she is wearing in the image above. So that we could capture something similar for the project.
Background
The next reason why I used her image above as an example is the fact that the background of the image is plain, clean and even. It is just one color. After working with a couple of models online for the Skype video project, we managed to capture images and states with models wearing a headset with a built-in microphone similar to the image above.
Editing
And then, when we wanted to use some of the images for publications and promotions, we started running into another issue. The problem of messy, uneven and chaotic background. Now, I had to hire another photo editor to edit, remove and change the background before using the images. To solve the uneven background problem, potential Skype video models are required to have a clean and plain background or backdrop.
