Tips & Tricks: How To Teach Someone How To Pose

Posing a new model can be hard, especially if they don't know what to do, the expectation lies solely on you (the photographer). So I have a few tips to help someone be more comfortable in front of the camera, and tips to help you pose them.

Tip #1: First and foremost make sure they are comfortable in front of the camera, and with you! If someone is comfortable in front of the camera, then the photos will immediately be better because they trust you.

Tip #2: Secondly, talk them up-- make them feel confident! Also telling them to push their shoulders back, chin out elongates the neck and makes them have a stronger stance as well.

Tip #3: Work the items of clothing they are wearing, if they have a shirt or dress on "play" with the clothing to make the image seem more natural and less "posed'.

Tip: #4: This goes hand in hand with #3, as well as playing with items of clothing, running hands through hair and telling them to put their hands around their faces gives them alternative minus just posing and smiling.

Tip #5: Angles, angles, angles! Women, and men, don't want to look wide. Therefore, angling the hips away from the camera and squaring the shoulder thins the waist!

Tip #6: Tell the model to imagine a box beneath their chin, then tell them to move their chin around the box to give different angles of the face.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask any questions.
