The Art of Posing

There are certain phrases/positions that a photographer
can use to create a shot...here are just a few examples of
the ones I have used.




Here we have
my little cousin
Danielle...I told
her to "SMILE"
...she does this














Here we have my
God daughter
Jamie...Her mom
yells out model...
she does this.
Train them young
people train them
young...









If trained young
enough they might
be able to become
like these 2 self-posing
masters!





Some subjets
like my baby cousin
Jacob are just
born naturals...
I told him to just,
"Sit still and act
natural"...great
job!










And others you
don't even have
to say anything
at all...and already
know what to do










Sometimes props
can make the shot
(ja showed me this
pose...thanks)















Another pose
taught by ja...
the
"Look back"














Sometimes you
can catch a shot
after you tell them
to stop posing








Here's one where
you can use somebody
else's posing directions















Some shots
work if they
just ignore you
completely











When in doubt..
just tell them to
JUMP!
