Posing guides ...

Agnieszka

Just came across these links and thought I'd share .... I have my own little posing guide (made out of photos that I found on the web and loved).

Now, I am not saying it's a good thing if you copy somebody else's poses & steal their ideas, BUT having a little booklet like this in case your brain freezes during a shoot is REALLY helpful. :thumb

They are fairly expensive, I'd say it would be just as easy to make one yourself, but hey, thought I'd throw out the links in case you'd want to have a peek:

My Blackberry takes it one step further and I have 4 separate folders. Men, Women, (both Fashion) Children/Infants, and then Wedding/Engagement. And to answer the inevitable question that will arise, yes I go into a Barnes and Noble and snap away at any image that strikes me as something that I would like to similarly try. It works.

I too have look at the sites of Master pros that I liked and copied a shot here and there as a posing guide also......
I used to do it shooting film and copy pics from books that caught my eye...then I bought about 5 yrs worht of
Sports Illustraded Swimsuit issues with the DVD showing the shoots in action............several of the images were
done with P/S cameras.....................

I call mine a shot book and have been advocating the same ever since my first maternity shoot. Looked on the internet...found a bunch of pretty neat poses...printed them and put them in my three ring binder...took it with me to the shoot. It's sure a lot easier than direction. Just ask the mom to be if she can do this and point...that's it...then you can compare what shes doing to the print...chin down...shoulder up...rotate this way or that...etc.

And no, I don't represent the poses In my shot book as my own work.
