OK, let’s continue.
1. Good starting pose. And very nice
way to make the model slimmer. The model should push her chin forward and tilt
it slightly down while at the same time the shoulder up, but not too much!
There should definitely be a little gap between chin and shoulder.
2. Most often the best poses are the
simplest ones. For female models supporting body on just one leg and curving
the body in an S shape is a simple starting rule.
3. Very beautiful way to utilize a
wall or some object for a portrait pose. Model should gently touch a vertical
surface with her hands.
4. If your model has long falling
hair, try showing them in motion. Ask her to quickly spin her head to a desired
position allowing the hair to continue the movement. You might want to
experiment with different shutter speeds to either capture or avoid a motion
blur. These are usually very positive and rewarding shots.
5. Suitable for sitting on a couch
or in bed. In order to add some thematic depth, the model could hold a coffee
cup in her hands, maybe implying that she is warming her fingers.
6. A nice and cozy pose, very
suitable for indoors with the model sitting on a couch.
7. Another variation for a model
sitting on a couch.
8. Very nice looking casual pose for
a model sitting on the ground. Try different shooting angles, for example, move
gradually around the model or change the shooting point’s height.
9. Sitting positions are not limited
to casual shots. Don’t be afraid to try some sitting poses also for more formal
shots.
10. According to some popular and
commonly exploited body language rules, crossing arms and legs means putting up
some barriers etc. Even if such beliefs are widespread, it doesn’t mean they
are correct. In pictures crossed arms on the chest don’t send any subconscious
signs or warnings at all! Crossing arms and legs in all different ways is
absolutely fine for people photography.
11. Not always your model needs to
“place” hands somewhere specifically. It is absolutely fine to leave them
loosely by the sides. The same goes for legs, no exaggerations – one leg
supports the weight, that’s the only rule you need.
12. Just another sample for a full
height shot you can use as a starting point. Thumbs or hands partly in side
pockets also work fine.
13. A very nice pose for summertime.
Let her lose her shoes and ask her to walk slowly. Walk and take your shots
slightly from behind.
14. Hands behind the back, unusual
but very open gesture. She might as well stand and support herself against a
wall.
15. Very easy and beautiful pose for
a formal portrait. Model should turn a little bit sideways, head turned
slightly down and towards the camera.
16. Placing both hands on the waist
is also a very photogenic pose. Works well both for half and full height shots.
17. If available, some higher
furniture or interior object might be helpful to place an arm on and slightly
support the body. This will create a formal but at the same time an open and
positive posture.
18. Partly sitting on some object is
another very nice pose. Works well indoors as well outdoors in a city.
19. An example of a feminine and
fashionable pose for a full height picture.
20. Demanding pose, because indicating model’s movement is not easy. However, if done right, very rewarding for trendy fashion or very elegant full height shots.
21. Lovely looking pose for the
appropriate settings – the model is supporting herself against some fence or
bridge railing or some similar object. Shooting from a side with a large
aperture provides good opportunities for a shallow depth of field with a nicely
blurred background.
