Researching various poses on Google, YouTube, and Pinterest is an excellent place to start. Not only is the lighting important, the way the photographer poses models also comes into play, which is something that only gets better with work. Model posing is challenging to learn, so this is definitely a place where many images are lacking. Translating the dynamics of a person into the flat surface of a photograph is one of the most important parts of model photography. However, photographing thousands of people each year, you learn what works and what poses are best. One of the most common things that people say after their studio sessions are “I have no clue how models do this all day!” I could not agree more, that’s why I stay behind the camera.
