STOP ❌ Posing Like THIS In Photos! #howtopose #pose

[ellaphx]

I can't fathom having this much body awareness/control. That's a lot of things to remember all at once 😂

My sister is a photographer and she told me to do the same pose, but just rest my hand on my thigh. It feels weird doing it, but in the photos it looks so natural and good. So now I always do that for photos and it looks so casual even though it doesn’t feel like it in the moment. Same vibe!

Amazing how a few small adjustments takes you from “where’s the booze” to “where’s my promotion”

[kendawyatt]

Definitely needed this ! I’m so awkward in photos in general

I had professional work photos done last month and let me tell you, the photographer made me pose exactly the way she’s just shown us - hands in pockets & all! Pictures came out 👌🏽

This right here is something I’m going to actually utilize. Thank you kindly.

Love that your "after" pose absolutely oozes confidence x infinity 😍

This is one of the most useful tutorials I’ve see in forever.

Now when every photo everywhere bares this same pose, we know who to blame...cuz I'm definitely following this advice!

[masakasim]

girl!!!! at work we have to take office team photos every now and then for our website/marketing and i always look like i’m posing for my 14 year old cousin’s instagram post. I WILL SAVE THIS VIDEO FOR FUTURE PURPOSES. THANK YOU!

I'm going to use this religiously.

Posing is NEVER natural, no matter what the pose is. That’s ok because nobody expects it to be natural anyway.

[MandiMomOfChannel]

Yes the second one looks so much better 💯

[raylopez]

I'm very camara-shy so this is really helpful. Thank you

Photographer here, that's very good advice but i recommend sticking with the thumb in fingers out formula.. Having just your thumb stich out of the pocket kinda cuts your hand off at a weird angle, and the fact that thers more of your hand in the actual pocket would give the garment a more bulky appearance and make it look more creased. Some other options would be having a somewhat wide stance and crossing your arms over your chest, turned a bit to the side. That makes you look assertive and reliable, which works good if you're aiming for a leadership position. And if you want something more approachable, you could have a sitting pose, sit on a chair or couch, a bit to the edge, turn your legs to the side and cross them at the ankle, back straight, hands on the knees.... Is a very prime and proper way to pose

The end result looks great, but I can't remember all this! 😫 I'm really awkward, and this is like complex choreography to me.

My grandma was a model in the 60s, this is exactly how she poses for photos to this day

[cheesecakelasagna]

Can you please also do closeups? Like which muscle to pull in which direction to bring a convincing smize (smiling eyes)?

Since my facial/teeth structure is different, maintaining a wide but no teeth shown smile is difficult and always end up with my lips quivering after seconds of holding it in, an now it looks fake.

Also the angle? Even though I'm guessing 45 degrees is still the optimal angle.

You are as fabulous as your great suggestion. Women don't always concentrate on beauty past their face and the colors they wear. This is great stuff, thanks!

Finally some practical advice to get me to stop doing the usual “Quincienera” pose that I’ve been doing for like probably 15 years 😂 gracias!! 🙏🏻
