01 / FUNDAMENTALS
Shape with intention.
Build lines, negative space, balance and clean silhouettes.
DMP / Model Education
BECOME
HARDER TO
FORGET.
Posing is more than placing body parts. Build presence, visual range and the ability to perform through an entire sequence.
The model craft
CONTROL
THE FRAME
Understand what your body, face and energy are communicating before the photographer presses the shutter.
02 / EXPRESSION
Stop using one face.
Develop emotional range through eyes, mouth, breath and tension.
03 / TRANSITIONS
Keep the shoot moving.
Connect strong poses instead of restarting after every frame.
04 / PRESENCE
Hold attention.
Use posture, stillness, energy and point of view to own the image.
05 / RANGE
Change the story.
Adapt your performance to wardrobe, light, lens, crop and concept.
06 / PROFESSIONALISM
Bring craft to the set.
Prepare, communicate, collaborate and produce consistent results.
DON’T
MEMORIZE
POSES.
Learn the principles beneath the pose so you can respond to the concept, wardrobe, light and photographer without looking rehearsed.
