hello people welcome to my channel my name is Christine if you're new welcome
today I'm going to show you some of my favorite poses for Instagram photos I am
planning to do a video soon on how I take my own photos at home so stay tuned
for that this video is gonna be all about poses so before we go and get
started first make sure you hit the subscribe button especially if you like
my videos that just makes it a little bit easier to find all my videos without
further ado let's go ahead and get started so I actually got this idea cuz
I posted a couple of posing videos on tik-tok and they really blew up so I
thought it would bring this video here on YouTube and show you guys some of my
favorite poses wow that is a horrible still of me anyway I wanted to preface
this video by saying that creating content is my full-time job Instagram in
YouTube is something that I do full-time hopefully these poses will be helpful
for anyone that is also an aspiring influencer or even if you just want to
learn some poses to be more photogenic and look more natural in photos or even
if you just want to brush up on your skills so you can take photos of
yourself at home or power to you so we're gonna start off with a half body
poses I feel like half-body poses are the
foundation for any good pose because you're really focusing on your facial
expressions what you're doing with your hands once you nail down a good half
body pose it makes it a lot easier to do full body poses a lot more easily some
of my favorite half body poses are the influencer pose I call this influencer
pose because it's something that I see a lot on Instagram it's kind of a go-to
without a lot of outfit bloggers do and for me it's one of my personal favorites
because you don't need any props or anything like that it looks pretty
natural and it also helps to elongate your body and makes your arms look
really really slim when you're posing you kind of want to make triangle shapes
with your arms to your body even when you're sitting down you want to have
those triangles in the way that your legs are folded this triangle rule
applies to so many different poses when you're standing when you're sitting
helps to create a little bit of spacing between your body it just makes the
photo look a little bit more interesting and less stiff and awkward looking the
second pose that I love to do is hand on the hips this is such a great and easy
pose and there's so many different ways that you can change this one around you
put both hands on your hips you can put one hand on your hip can also pretend
like you're laughing this is another one of those super easy poses that I go to a
lot the next pose is playing with your hair this is such an easy one you can
kind of combine this with your hand on your hip you can have one hand running
through your hair you can have both hands running through your hair you can
also turn your body to the side and kind of play with your hair that way
especially if you're doing like up-close beauty shots this is a great one to do
it also helps to kind of flu FUP your hair and make the picture a little bit
more interesting as well the fourth post that I have is to laugh
and this is such an easy one you can combine this with any of the other poses
that I talked about before but it just it automatically makes a picture more
likeable everyone loves to see a smile especially if you're having your friends
or your boyfriend take your photo or you're out in public is such an easy way
to kind of make the photo seem a little bit more natural so I always like to
throw in a couple of smiling photos the last half body pose I want to share is
having your hand over your head this is a great way to
kind of change it up in your photos I think it looks really cool when you have
your hands overhead and you're kind of looking to the side it just looks like
you're not really trying too hard this is something that you do have to kind of
practice to make your hands look natural on top of your head just because this is
just not something that you do when you're like dang you know I would
recommend practicing this pose in front of a mirror and kind of getting down how
to make it look the most natural with any pose the more you practice the
better it's gonna get like now that we're all stuck at home as well now
that's a perfect time to kind of practice some of your posing in front of
a mirror have your brother your dad your mom your boyfriend help take your photos
for you and if you don't have someone you can always take photos on a tripod
as well that's where I've been doing for most of my pictures so I am gonna upload
a little tutorial on how I take my own photos at home later on so stay tuned
for that those are some of my favorite half body poses you can combine those
with full body poses one of my favorite full-body poses is to incorporate some
type of motion so you can act like you're walking so it kind of almost
looks like a candid walking paparazzi shot and I love this pose especially if
I have a really cool outfit that I want to show off it just looks really natural
and like I'm not trying too hard and also helps to elongate your legs as well
second full body pose is to use a prop whether it's a coffee cup your purse or
a piece of clothing back when I would take photos outside I would always have
some type of like coffee cup or a glass of wine and that would just be something
super easy for me to have something to do with my hands also use your purse
strap so if you're holding on to your purse you're kind of swinging it back
and forth I think that's also another effective way I also love to play with
clothing so if I have like sunglasses or jacket or you can act like you're
pulling up your pants or adjusting your jeans any type of pop they'll kind of
give your hand something to do will help to make the photo look a little bit more
candid another post that I really like is to have one leg in front so you can
kind of combine this with your hands on your hip it just helps to make your legs
look so so long so with these full-body poses it
you want to combine what you learn with the half body poses into these full body
ones because it kind of just gives your hands something to do so if you're doing
just like a standstill one you can kind of have like your hands in your hair you
can have your hands on your hip similar to the last pose another favorite one of
my poses is standing to the side and having a leg out and I just find that
this kind of makes my calf muscles pop and look really nice and lean it also
helps to elongate that one leg in the front as well also if I have some cool
shoes that I want to show off the side profile this is a really great pose
I often combine this with having like a hand on my hip or playing with my purse
or some type of prop or accessory the last full-body pose I want to share is
one leg up and this is kind of a fun playful pose especially if you want to
show off a pair of shoes this is just a great way to do that and kind of show
off your outfit in a way that's not super super boring or generic last food
poses that I have for you are some sitting poses I actually wrote out some
of the notes of the poses that I had and for some reason the sitting poses I like
drew pictures I don't even know what some of these are what do you mean yeah
I don't know anyways sitting poses are a little bit easier
for me just because I feel like there are a little bit more options with what
you can do for your hands so it doesn't always feel as awkward as just like a
normal standing photos whenever there's like a chair or bench or even sitting on
the floor I like to do that because it just gives me so many more options with
what I can do one of the poses that I really like to do is just to sit on the
floor kind of have my legs almost up to my chest you can kind of play around
with your hand to kind of rest them on your knees play with your hair have them
on the ground you want to keep in mind that rule of triangles as well it just
helps to make the picture look a little bit more interesting helps to elongate
your legs and make them look a little bit leaner as well so that's a really
great sitting pose I do a lot another sitting pose that I like is to have one
leg down and one leg up with the leg that's up you can kind of play with
having your hands on them have your hands on the ground have your hands on
the knee then it's down this is just a really great laid back pose it looks
like you're not trying hard at all can also play around with the angles that
you're seeing as well to kind of change up the photo another pose that I really
like that I think is super cool is if you can find a bend
or a chair have both of your feet on the ground and then kind of rest your arms
or elbows on your knees this is also a great pose for men because it just looks
super masculine it looks super super cool like you're just kind of hanging
out there and I love pairing this with like a really cool street style outfit
it just immediately makes outfit look more badass last sitting pose I want to
share is if you are just sitting in a normal chair I like to normally sit on
the edge of any chair because it just helps to show off my outfit a little bit
more you can also sit on like the edge of the table leaning against the wall
either way it kind of gives you the same effects it makes them look super long
and interesting versus if you just had your legs straight yeah so those are all
poses that I have hope this video was super quick easy and helpful make sure
