Pose number one: so you're sitting down and you want to make your legs look
longer and leaner it's like my head is gonna attach to anything like it says to
match my legs I love the architecture of stairs I think it really draws your eye
into a photo stick one leg up and then one leg back so not too high if you're
wearing shorts be sure to pull line down ladies don't want to show any of that
lean back fix your hair gotta compose because when you extend
one leg out it elongates your legs make sure your legs look miles long and it
draws your eye from one end to the other end of the photo and makes it look a lot
longer
pose number two lower angles can elongate your body for all of you petite
and short girls out there if you're going to love my next tip have your
photographer kind of lower the camera a bit and Ankle it upwards don't really
look so much taller when she angles the camera down low it's all about the low
angles that way it makes you look so much longer and taller that is how I
make my legs look like they are five feet long even though they are not
pose number three bringing your arms up is a great way to show off your sleeves
if you're doing a fashion shot or jewelry also looks very carefree make
sure for this pose to always point your fingers along at your fingers make sure
to kind of point one direction because it makes your hand look so much longer
sometimes when you're taking portrait photos it can get kind of boring and
you're just smiling towards the camera it can feel a little awkward so a fun
prop you can add to your photos if I had some flower petals so you could simply
just take a few off of the flower bush and just throw them into the air and add
a nice dynamic yield to your photos
moving on to the next pose so you want to take an outfit photo but you want to
look taller this is one of my favorite go-to poses I like to stand with both of
my feet next to each other and then I will bring one foot in front of the
other this pose makes me look like I'm taking
a step forward and sometimes I'll even look left or right and not directly at
the camera so it looks like this is something that's a candid shot but it's
not really if you ever feel uncomfortable during a photo shoot let
your photographer know you want to review the images so you can get a
mental note of how you're doing
my next posing hack is to play with your clothes or accessories if you're feeling
a little awkward just play around with your skirt or put your hands in your
pocket but not all the way in you can also hold on to your collar you can also
like tug on your shirt a bit I think it's just fun if you play around with
your clothes it makes it look a lot more natural and casual
next I'm going to talk all about how to perfect that fake candid you know that
image where you feel like wow did he look really happy or how did they
capture that moment so well alright I'm ready for my walking shot did you get it
did you get it did you get it okay I like to swing my arms back and forth
tapping and rocking back and forth can help capture that candid walk and then
kind of laugh and look behind me and smile that's just one of my favorite go
twos
however photographer take 10 to 20 practice images that way you don't feel
that pressure that you're going to get that perfect image not every picture has
to be perfect you know I usually go through a shoot and take 300 photos and
only underusing one it's time for coffee because I am sleepy I don't think I got
enough sleep last night I'm going to show you how you can pose with your
drinks so I really like just like interacting with your drink so taking a
sip or just kind of looking away and playing with your hair it just makes it
feel a lot more natural and less Posey feeling a little bit bloated that day I
know everybody does usually looking straight ahead at the camera is not as
slimming as looking from the side you feel that when you look straight on it
kind of looks really awkward a lot quieter
you can look naked even if you're wearing an off-the-shoulder pop let the
wind do its work put your hand here and
thank you hi every photographer shoot this photo a little bit from above and
then angle your body to the side a bit to watch your arm
sometimes your arms can squish really tight against your body you just kind of
want to realize that and that way your arm looks nice long and lean and then
you can also look a habit or like look off to the side and kind of smile and
your profile will tend to look a lot more slimmer if you ever feel that
you're over sexualizing any of your poses ask the photographer if you could
take a look at them and if you're feeling uncomfortable just let them know
that hey these are some of my favorite poses you don't have to stick your butt
out you don't have to like stick your boobs out those are not poses that you
have to do just be aware that pose in the way that you feel the most natural
and comfortable so those were my top 12 poses that you can recreate for any of
