Well, taking good quality pics is not only for professional models and photographers. Posing can be one’s nightmare but it doesn’t have to be. With a couple of tips and tricks up your sleeve, you will soon love the posing process.
In this article I’ll explain how you can master the art of female poses. These tips will help you upgrade your posing confidence. Some people find it intimidating to pose for pics but a little confidence and poses can help.
I think talking and making jokes during the shoot makes the situation a little less complicated.
Below are the 12 common poses to consider for your next shoot.
- The walk. With this pose you can slowly walk towards the photographer and vice versa. You must make this move exaggerated by placing one leg in front of the other. Play around with your hands and hair to feel more comfortable.
2. Sitting. Not all pics are supposed to be taken while standing. You can sit anywhere no matter the location. Try using a chair, stool and stairs among others. I’ve seen pics of models seated on a highway and they turned out perfect. Just be creative and make sure you are comfortable. You can use different angles and heights to capture different looks.
3. Standing while leaning against the wall. This pose gives you a natural look. Just watch your hands and legs. Lean in different positions to capture call the poses.
4. Use props. Props give you more confidence during a shoot. Just get creative and play around with anything around you. Some people use food, ice cream, coffee and wine.
5. Play around with your hair. These poses make you look a little less awkward when taking a pic. You can shake your hair a little (gently). Move your hand in your hair then strike some poses.
6. The tip toe. This pose is dramatic but the shots are worth it. Try leaning against something for a better view. It’s best for swimsuit shots or when you’re barefooted.
7. Smile and look to the side. This pose will have you focused on something else besides the camera. You will look more candid and carefree.
8. Hand up pose. Stand facing any direction but not towards the camera. Stretch out your hand as though your reaching out for something. The photographer could hold your hand if possible.
9. Laying down. This is mainly done by people taking pics at the beach, swimming pool and on bed. There are no basics about this pose. Just go for it any time.
10.Hands-on-waist. This is the most suitable pose if you want to focus on the upper half of the body. It indicates a powerful character. You can change the position of your body or turn your head a few times.
11. Hands under the chin. I recommend using this pose while you’re seated at the table. You can change facial expressions in order to get good shots.
12. Face off. Trust me not all pics are supposed to be taken while looking into the camera. It’s all about the art and creativity. This can also help the shy ladies. Just feel free and make random poses without looking into the camera.
In conclusion, not all poses work for every individual, so don’t force yourself into poses that are uncomfortable for you. You can generate some new poses from the ideas above. Just get creative and remember to dress up in your cute outfits. Please comment with your favorite pose.
STAY HOME, STAY SAFE.
