If 75% of being a model is about having the look, then the remaining 25% is definitely about knowing what to do with it.
Posing is one of those things about modeling that doesn't come naturally in the least: it's a learned, practiced thing; like dancing or gymnastics, it's about understanding how your body moves and what the camera sees. For models, that means lots of time in front of the mirror and lots of time in front of the camera.
As a photographer, when you work with a model who both has the look and knows how to use it...well, it's a dream. Suddenly you understand what all of the fuss is about. You're no longer working with a model, you're working with a Model.
