The Photographer's Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter

The Photographer's Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter Everyone

When photographing people, you can have a great composition, perfect light, and the right camera settings, but if your subject doesnâ€™t look rightâ€”if the pose is offâ€”the shot will not be a keeper. Posing is truly a crucial skill that photographers need to have in order to create great photographs. If youâ€™re looking to improve your ability to pose your subjectsâ€”whether theyâ€™re men, women, couples, or groupsâ€”best-selling author and photographer Lindsay Adlerâ€™s The Photographerâ€™s Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter Everyone is the perfect resource for you.
In the first half of The Photographerâ€™s Guide to Posing, Lindsay discusses how the camera sees, and thus how camera angle, lens choice, and perspective all affect the appearance of your subject. Lindsay then covers the five most important things that ruin a poseâ€”such as placement of the hands, and your subjectâ€™s expression and posture. If you can look out for and avoid these five things, your skills (and your images) will quickly improve. Next, Lindsay dives into â€œposing essentials,â€ outlining her approach to start with a â€œbase pose,â€ then build on that to create endless posing opportunities. She also discusses posing the faceâ€”with specific sections dedicated to the chin, jaw, eyes, and foreheadâ€”as well as posing hands.
In the second half of the book, Lindsay dedicates entire chapters to posing specific subject matter: women, men, couples, curvy women, families and small groups, and large groups. In each chapter, Lindsay addresses that subject matterâ€™s specific challenges, provides five â€œgo-to posesâ€ you can always use, and covers how to train the eye to determine the best pose for your subject(s). In the final chapter of the book, Lindsay brings it all together as she teaches you how to analyze a pose so that you can create endless posing opportunities and continuously improve your work
