I LOVE this tutorial because I struggle with posing men! I can do these poses in a studio setting, too! Thank you, Sal!

Your videos are very much appreciated- great quick synopses. I’m using them locally to hopefully start a business.

How did you get good light in the shade? In your video about making women look good on camera, you gave a lot of good principles. What are the principles for making men look good? And how do you find dope locations like this one? Thanks for these videos as they are very helpful.

great video and straight to the point! Just curious how long you take on a normal shoot that would produce these same images?

[MrTifoso]

Ciao Sal, that was a great video. Thank you for that 👍

[IvenHolt]

I was just saying the other day that I needed to learn more about posing men!

I love these relax and natural poses, use them all the time, and now I can show this to my customers and let you do the explaining in two minutes .... thank you 😊

[jasonthompson]

Great video short and sweet but to the point. It would be great to see more on this subject for men and women, even couples. Maybe already in the pipeline 😊

The Zoolander should be mandatory in all photo shoot. :D Thank you. You have a new sub.

[SusanneGeert]

Awesome 🙌 Please share for WOMEN as well ☺

Solid video. Was that at the Parthenon in Nashville, Tn?

[quallzone]

Thank you to all the photographers for allowing their their images to be publicly critiqued. The judges' comments help the entire photographic community.

The zoolander😂😂😂 love it!!! Great video! Definitely a keeper!!! Do you have a video poses of men with casual clothes that are not wearing a jacket?

[paulsell]

Very nice, thanks. That was all natural light, correct? If so would you mind sharing your ISO, f-stop & ss? I imagine one or more of these varied a bit with each pose.

[jodyann]

Love this! I noticed you didn't use any external lighting. I've been spoiled with using lighting so I don't have to reduce my shutter speed or increase my ISO. Do you mind sharing your settings?

[tubachristoph]

Great video! Thanks!!
Will you do a video with female poses too?

[AnaGonzalez-hrsm]

Can you make a video breaking down the Psychology of photographing men? I've heard you talk about it a little on the creator seriese season 2. I want to understand camera angle/posing/lighting and any other tidbits you have to offer on making men look big and masculine.

Excellent content as always Sal… and I “Love” shooting at the Parthenon (it’s starting to get super busy now😔) and the bicentennial mall park is excellent also!!!

[dmkerrphotography]

Sal, as always your stuff is fantastic, you make it look easy, but what’s with this guys suit? Is he wearing yoga pants?😂

Brands spoke person and ambassador. Only runway models need min and specific heights requirements right?
