For example, if your main focus is emotion, use softer poses that show emotion through facial expressions and body language.<\/li>\n<li>You want your model to look natural and relaxed when posing. Have them take a few deep breaths and then find comfortable positions they can hold for a few seconds. Don&#8217;t expect them to stay in one position for too long!<\/li>\n<li>Make sure the lighting is good and use simple props, if needed, to help create more interesting poses. Also, don&#8217;t forget about angles \u2013 different angles will add more dimension to each shot and make the images stand out even more!<\/li>\n<li>Lastly, practice makes perfect! Take some time before the shoot to do a quick practice session with your model so that you both are comfortable with the poses beforehand.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>By following these tips and taking the time to understand your model&#8217;s body type, you can create stunning images and master the art of posing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you want to make sure your photoshoot goes as<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Posing Tips for Professional Photoshoots &bull; Jon Hartman Photography<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Here I&#039;ll show you how to pose your model like a professional photographer.
