Do you struggle with photography poses?

When we see glamorous photography, all too often, we as viewers make the mistake of thinking that the beautiful people pictured are just more gorgeous than the rest of us mere mortals.

In fact, the beautiful models we see in fashion magazines and glamorous actresses who grace red carpets have a team of make up artists, stylists, and tricks for body placement that emphasize the positive aspects of their body shapes, and minimize any perceived flaws. The result, when the photographs run through tools like Photoshop, are the kinds of glamorous photography that our modern society craves.

When a client comes to a portrait photographer for a photo session, they want to see that they too, can look like these gorgeous models and actresses.

The ability to clean and brighten a picture in Photoshop is, of course crucial, but to have a really amazing final result you still need to start with a great photo that compliments the subject.

And that, dear readers, is where knowing how to pose a curvy body comes into play.
All too often, people who perceive their bodies as larger or overly curvy tend to draw into themselves, both physically and emotionally, to try and take up as little room as possible.

It therefore becomes the photographer’s job to draw the subject out, letting them get comfortable in their body and show off their figure so they appear comfortable and relaxed.

This is true in everything from plus size boudoir photography poses to simple head shots.

A few simple tricks can help you avoid unsightly creases, sleepy or agitated expressions, and the kind of body positioning that makes people look heavy instead of curvy and welcoming.

Kira and Cheryl have spent many years as photographers learning all of the most important tricks for creating photos and pictures that your clients will love, and that you will be proud of.

Simple details such as moving the arms away from the body to create dynamic visual shapes, turning one shoulder towards the camera and turning the other away, and resting weight more fully on one foot than the other, can completely change the camera’s perception of the subject, allowing you to create a photograph that focuses more on the essence of the subject, and less on their perception of their size.
