Unbelievable Speed Of Chinese Models Stuns Photographers Around The World

It’s no secret that life in the far east moves a lot faster than most of us could ever imagine, but you might be shocked to find out that this also applies to the modelling industry.

While some of us might take up to an hour trying to frame the perfect selfie, models for Chinese online shopping conglomerate Taobao perform an astounding 30 poses every minute, moving as quickly as the rapidly-snapping camera in front of them. New videos of the incredible process are burning up the Internet, with one from Shanghai Expat gaining over 2 million views. “Was that a photoshoot or a new dance craze,” one user commented.

Though the models reportedly adhere to a severely demanding schedule, the pay comes in at up to $1500 for a single day’s work. Check out the insane videos for yourself below!

I really hope it's 30 poses PER MINUTE, or I'm gonna lose my mind.

It's 30 poses per second and only cameras can see them!

Well they certainly aren't changing poses every two minutes. So no, I don't think it was 30 poses per minute.

I would really like to see how those pictures actually turned out at that speed. they show you the pictures being done, but they don't show you the results. makes you wonder what they would actually look like.

They're not blurry at all (check the website). The room is bright and they are using multiple flashes, allowing them to take high shutter speed photos. Anything above 1/800th of a second would freeze these fairly slow movements easily without any blur. They would also be taking many photos, possibly 8 to 12 per second (most pro DSLRs can take that many at a minimum) or more. They would then pass those on to someone to select the 5 or 6 best ones to use to sell each outfit.
