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.
01 / FUNDAMENTALS

Shape with intention.

Build lines, negative space, balance and clean silhouettes.

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.
