If you were to attend a portraiture course, the instructor will tell you that eye contact is very important as it establish a rapport with your model. direct eye contact like photo number 2 is essential as one of the requirement for a good portraiture.
So, when you join a group model shoot, there will 10 photographers telling the model to "look here" .

My personal feeling is that eye contact is necessary if u are shooting model for like magazine cover. But shooting things like kids, baby etc.... it might not be necessary. I prefer more natural post. Like shooting when she isn't looking but concentrating doing her own stuff.
