There has been lots of how to threads posted on photography for models. I have always tried to present decent photos however I have recently been digging a little further into the craft, and I have to say spending some time on preparing a photograph makes a huge difference, to me at least. Some folks may consider this cheating, for me. since we share our models mostly by photos, I think it makes sense to attempt to give our hours of building and painting work the show case it deserves.
These examples are older models that I have taken some time to light creatively and to photoshop in order to bring out their best, at least as far as I am concerned. Lighting can make a huge difference on its own and need not be very expensive if you use cheap dollar store LED flash lights with maybe the odd piece of colored gel on them.
Anyway judge for yourselves.
Just another technique to play around with.
