Posing for Photos
I’ve been taking a few senior portraits lately and I find that most people, young or old, are a bit awkward about having their photos taken.
As a photographer, success in portraits is almost always dependent on your ability to help your subjects.
If they need confidence, that’s your job.
If they need help posing, your job, too!
It’s all about making a connection, helping your subject to be the best that they can and capturing the moment.
Their are tons of posing guides available.
Youtube.com has plenty of videos available, plus there are also tone of people willing to have you pay for their guides.
Over the next few posts, I’ll be talking about a few of my best tips.
Be inspired!
