1 00:00:02,650 --> 00:00:05,500 So, the number one thing you are trying to achieve 2 00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:09,120 when photographing a woman is to emphasize her assets 3 00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:10,830 and reduce her flaws. 4 00:00:10,830 --> 00:00:14,120 And, the reason I say that is you can't pose always 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,830 hips back and chest forward, 'cause that might not be 6 00:00:16,830 --> 00:00:18,380 the most flattering. 7 00:00:18,380 --> 00:00:21,310 Tends to be, though, what is more flattering 8 00:00:21,310 --> 00:00:22,710 for most people. 9 00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:26,570 Number two is typically, when standing, 10 00:00:26,570 --> 00:00:29,080 never have your feet, ever, 11 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,200 of the subject flat-footed and even. 12 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,090 Never, just don't do it. 13 00:00:33,090 --> 00:00:34,850 So instead, what you wanna do is 14 00:00:34,850 --> 00:00:38,410 if your subject is standing, always have the weight 15 00:00:38,410 --> 00:00:42,370 on one of the legs and one of the feet uneven. 16 00:00:42,370 --> 00:00:46,680 So, what that translates for me is if you're just kicking 17 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,250 your weight to one side, turn a foot. 18 00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:52,630 So, now my feet are uneven, and the weight's uneven. 19 00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:56,770 If I'm going to kick my weight back, kick my weight back, 20 00:00:56,770 --> 00:00:58,740 pop up the front knee a little bit. 21 00:00:58,740 --> 00:01:02,020 So, have your weight uneven, not flat-footed. 22 00:01:03,010 --> 00:01:07,470 Number three is curves and negative space. 23 00:01:07,470 --> 00:01:10,560 Make sure you don't have mergers. 24 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,030 Make sure that you can actually see the outline 25 00:01:13,030 --> 00:01:14,390 of your subject. 26 00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:17,570 And, so everything is not bunched up in one place. 27 00:01:17,570 --> 00:01:20,010 But, instead, you are showing shape and line 28 00:01:20,010 --> 00:01:22,220 because of that negative space. 29 00:01:23,460 --> 00:01:28,250 And, for hands, for posing women's hands, 30 00:01:28,250 --> 00:01:30,640 you want to make sure the hands are always soft. 31 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,780 So, if you need to wiggle their fingers, 32 00:01:33,780 --> 00:01:34,890 wiggle their fingers. 33 00:01:34,890 --> 00:01:37,330 If you need to tell them to trace their hands 34 00:01:37,330 --> 00:01:39,520 around the side of their face, maybe they can't 35 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,410 actually pose nicely with their hands. 36 00:01:42,410 --> 00:01:46,340 Maybe you'll try, caress the side of your face and there. 37 00:01:46,337 --> 00:01:48,467 Or, instead of posing their hands in their hair, 38 00:01:48,470 --> 00:01:49,730 they're doing this. 39 00:01:49,730 --> 00:01:51,700 Maybe you say, "Just trace your hand along the outside 40 00:01:51,697 --> 00:01:52,527 "of your hair. 41 00:01:52,530 --> 00:01:54,650 "Okay, now twirl your fingers in your hair, good." 42 00:01:54,650 --> 00:01:57,940 Whatever it requires, so that it's a natural movement. 43 00:01:59,090 --> 00:02:02,730 Also, make sure that the hands aren't obscuring the face. 44 00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:05,440 I know I've seen a lot of little kids posed. 45 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,040 You know, they're posed with both hands up. 46 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,410 But, when you do this for a woman, you can't see 47 00:02:09,410 --> 00:02:11,060 her jawline or her neck. 48 00:02:12,180 --> 00:02:15,150 If you can keep it in mind when photographing a woman, 49 00:02:15,150 --> 00:02:19,100 you want a long neck and a defined jawline. 50 00:02:19,100 --> 00:02:21,210 You actually do want to see the jaw and the neck. 51 00:02:21,210 --> 00:02:22,930 So, this wouldn't work. 52 00:02:22,930 --> 00:02:24,850 But, maybe this would. 53 00:02:24,850 --> 00:02:25,950 Or, this would. 54 00:02:25,950 --> 00:02:26,950 Or, this would. 55 00:02:26,950 --> 00:02:28,040 Something like that. 56 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,380 So, watch the hands, not obscuring the face and the neck, 57 00:02:31,380 --> 00:02:32,980 and always keep them soft. 58 00:02:32,980 --> 00:02:35,850 And then, the final tip is what we have over and over again 59 00:02:35,850 --> 00:02:39,150 for women, chin out and down. 60 00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:41,480 It brings you more to their eyes. 61 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,820 It defines the jawline. 62 00:02:42,820 --> 00:02:45,700 And then, for older subjects, it makes sure the skin, here, 63 00:02:45,700 --> 00:02:47,170 is nice and tight. 64 00:02:47,170 --> 00:02:52,170 So, these would be my top five women's posing guidelines. 65 00:02:52,210 --> 00:02:55,830 Okay, well now that I've said that, there are 66 00:02:55,833 --> 00:02:57,633 a bajillion ways to pose women, (chuckles) 67 00:02:57,637 --> 00:02:58,467 (audience laughs) 68 00:02:58,470 --> 00:03:00,130 like, endless, endless, endless ways. 69 00:03:00,130 --> 00:03:02,070 And, I think that's why people get overwhelmed 70 00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:03,540 is 'cause there's too many ways. 71 00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:05,100 And, there are so many ways. 72 00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:06,920 You don't need too many ways. 73 00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:09,280 But, there is something I wanted to address, 74 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,980 different types of women's posing. 75 00:03:12,920 --> 00:03:17,120 Know that what makes your pose good for a woman 76 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,120 is that woman's body type, their flaws and assets, 77 00:03:23,740 --> 00:03:25,840 and then, of course, what you're trying 78 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,120 to say with that shoot. 79 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,020 It's not just, like, one great pose for everything. 80 00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:31,270 It really depends. 81 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:34,240 So, I'm going to give you poses that I really like 82 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,570 and poses that I use over and over again. 83 00:03:36,570 --> 00:03:38,060 But, it's going to depend. 84 00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:39,570 So, the differences, here, that I wanted 85 00:03:39,570 --> 00:03:44,570 to draw attention to is fashion is usually very confident. 86 00:03:44,890 --> 00:03:48,550 It can be about curves, but it tends to be more about, 87 00:03:48,550 --> 00:03:52,890 I would say, power, strong posture, and a presence. 88 00:03:52,890 --> 00:03:55,300 Okay, well then, I would say portrait is more just about 89 00:03:55,300 --> 00:03:56,130 flattering the person. 90 00:03:56,133 --> 00:03:59,013 It's much more about their expression and their personality. 91 00:03:59,010 --> 00:04:00,690 That's what you're trying to have shine through. 92 00:04:00,690 --> 00:04:02,470 So, the pose is great 'cause you wanna flatter 93 00:04:02,470 --> 00:04:04,130 their body type. 94 00:04:04,130 --> 00:04:05,780 But, the expression is like the first and the foremost, 95 00:04:05,781 --> 00:04:07,211 the most important thing. 96 00:04:07,210 --> 00:04:10,710 And then finally, for boudoir, it tends to be 97 00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:12,160 the body's a bit more important. 98 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,910 The body is going to be the emphasis. 99 00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:15,350 You can have a great portrait 100 00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:17,640 that doesn't really have a good pose. 101 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,230 But for boudoir, if you don't have that great pose, 102 00:04:19,227 --> 00:04:21,387 it's not going to be a great boudoir image. 103 00:04:21,390 --> 00:04:24,410 So, these are the things you would want to keep in mind, 104 00:04:24,410 --> 00:04:25,380 a little bit different. 105 00:04:25,380 --> 00:04:28,650 So, I would say the air about it for a fashion image. 106 00:04:28,650 --> 00:04:30,610 Whereas as for portrait, it's that personality, 107 00:04:30,610 --> 00:04:31,440 that connection. 108 00:04:31,443 --> 00:04:33,293 And then, boudoir would be all about the curves 109 00:04:33,290 --> 00:04:35,160 and all about their shape. 110 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,090 So, those would be the essentials. 111 00:04:37,090 --> 00:04:39,020 I'm going to go ahead and show you some 112 00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:42,060 of my favorite women's poses, nothing too extravagant, 113 00:04:42,060 --> 00:04:44,300 but ones that you can definitely master 114 00:04:44,300 --> 00:04:45,960 and then build from there. 115 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,130 So, hi. Hi. 116 00:04:49,260 --> 00:04:50,650 How are you? Okay. 117 00:04:50,650 --> 00:04:52,850 I was gonna say hi, but I just saw you. 118 00:04:52,850 --> 00:04:55,240 Yeah.
