With the advent of the selfie, I thought that photo shoot poses where a thing of the past because who would want someone else to take a photo of them? That’s just so old school!
Well, it turns out I was wrong. The rise of the travel influencer and/ or instagrammer and tacky tourist photos have meant that knowing what poses to take are now more relevant than ever!
Maybe everyone is an influencer these days….
Okay, maybe I was joking a bit here – but let’s check out a number of photo shoot poses and ideas from the seemingly endless array of books on Amazon and elsewhere! These resources are for people wishing to improve their photography by knowing what to shoot and when to shoot it.
There are plenty of photographers who wish to improve their photos and pictures of human models, including men, women, children and groups. If you are a photographer wanting to improve your skills, then you’ve come to the right place! Have you ever thought then when you look back on the photos you have taken of your family and friends that they could be a whole lot better? That is, there’s something in your pictures that’s just not right?
Anyway, there are plenty of practical books and resources available right now that will give you the photo shoot poses and ideas you have always wanted in regards to having your model (or yourself!) pose in the correct positions, so your photos will turn out so much better than before. These guides are useful for both the beginner and intermediate photographer who wishes to further advance their skills.
The below practical resources for creative posing will quickly show you clear and comprehensive practical steps to produce and communicate photo poses for any situation. The knowledge gained from learning new techniques will reduce the need to blindly take random shots, most of which will end up being deleted! You don’t want to waste your time, or anyone else’s, by fluffing around and not knowing what to do when you are photographing people in the various situations that you may come across.
These books are also relevant for those who undertake travel photography, as photographing the locals on your travels is one of the joys of traveling around the world. For example, ever see a kid’s face light up when you show them the display of a photo you just took of them, because their family cannot afford a camera themselves?
With these handy resources, you, as an improved photographer, can always produce appropriate photo poses in your pictures to create a visually and psychologically impressive image whatever the location, mood or camera position. You’ll be shown how to quickly raise standards and keep improving them.
Anyway, check them out:
POSE!: 1,000 Poses for Photographers and Models is just that – a list of over a thousand different looks that teach you the correct hand and leg placement, chin tilts and engaging with props.
Some of the subjects covered include:
You can quickly and easily produce the professional portraits you’ve always wanted by learning and mastering the secrets of camera-friendly photo poses. This guide will quickly show you all of the clear and comprehensive practical steps to produce and communicate poses for any situation.
The book outlines a number of techniques that will help you direct your models so that you can improve your photography, and how to capture ‘that’ moment’. Instead of being trigger happy with your camera to try and have one shot in a hundred turn out to be okay, the techniques you will learn will help think about what you are about to photograph, and plan well in advance so you don’t have to waste your time on deleting the shots that don’t turn out ‘quite right’.
After learning these techniques, you won’t be stuck for ‘that photo’ again, even if you don’t know how to get started. This book is going to improve your ability to produce and communicate photo poses that will lift your portraiture and photo shoot poses to a higher standard. With this resource, you and your trusty camera can always produce appropriate Photo Shoot Poses to create a visually impressive image in any location, mood or camera position. You’ll learn how to quickly raise your photography standards and keep improving them over time.
You will learn the simple way – starting from scratch to learn the step-by-step instructions show you the tricks to producing camera-friendly poses that will successfully translate the three-dimensional body to a two-dimensional medium – and your friends will think that you’ve been a professional photographer for years!
The Photographer’s Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter Everyone is another good resource to improve your photography skills, and nailing that pose.
The first half of The Photographer’s Guide to Posing talks about how the camera ‘sees’ someone, and thus how camera angle, lens choice, and perspective all affect the appearance of your subject. And you’ll find out what makes a pose not work – such as placement of the hands, and your subject’s expression and posture. The book then delves into ‘posing essentials,’ such as starting off with a ‘base pose,’ and then building on that base pose to create endless posing opportunities. ‘Facial poses’ are also discussed which cover the chin, jaw, eyes, and forehead—as well as posing hands.
In the second half of the book, individual chapters are dedicated to specific subject matter – women, men, couples, families and small groups, and large groups. In each chapter, there are five ‘go-to poses’ provided you can always use, plus how to analyse a pose so that you can continuously improve your work.
The book contains a sure fire system that leads to almost unlimited possible photo poses. Starting from scratch, the step-by-step instructions show you the tricks to producing camera-friendly poses that successfully translate the three-dimensional body to a two-dimensional medium. Once you start practising these techniques and implementing these instructions, have a look at the results and compare them with the photos you took previously.
Practice makes perfect with anything in life, so if you do decide to use this book, you will see results if you implement the instructions given. In these days of digital photography, it is a lot cheaper and easier to see your results instantaneously.
The techniques here are especially relevant for weddings. Who knows, your shots might be that good, that you will be sick of people asking you to photograph their special day!
If you want more, the below links contain a number of instantly downloadable ebooks for photography and photo shoot ideas. Subjects range from Nature, Landscape, People, Weddings, Basic Digital Photography and countless other subjects related to photography in general.
