Pro Tip: To take your pics to a more polished level, study runway models and their red carpet pics/ video glimpses.
RULE #1 : STOP STANDING STILL
Master the skill of being still…enough to pause and pose for a clear shot while being in a steady motion enough for the photographer to take a variety of pics in a matter of seconds. View the visuals below as an example:
Make sure you move enough. Feet. Hips. Chin Up. Chin Down. Turn to the side. Let me break it down how I learned:
One Leg Linda
This is a reliable pose for a charity event pic and to poke your leg out of a sexy slit dress.
Stand Straight
Arch Back
Straighten Chin & Shoulders
Step One Leg Out
Step Back- No Legs Out
Step (Other) One Leg Out
Step Back- No Legs Out
Remember how we mentioned moving in motion? Now that you’re back standing straight, you’re going to move into your next pose:
Side Step Sally
There’s a couple of different ways to jazz this pose up. Repeat the same process as above, however stepping slightly to the left AND right.
RAZZLE DAZZLE IDEAS
Step OUT and then to the SIDE, as Lori is doing in the black pic
Step OUT, angle your foot to show the side of your heel and FLEX your calf and POINT your toes. Former Stripper tip!
Point your HEAD and FOOT (of the leg out) as if you were posing facing forward for three different individuals were photographing you. It allows you to capture multiple angles of your face profile, body shape and outfit.
Pro Tip: Have your photographer (your date, bf, etc.) step to their right and left (or move the camera) before you break a pose, capturing THREE DIFFERENT ANGLES of ONE pose.
See “One Leg Linda” for a visual example.
Hip n’ Heels
This is my favorite because you can capture your Facebook family friendly pics while getting your sexy “you see this booty” pics for the gram.
Prepare to move in a North-South-East-West motion.
Straighten Back
Place Hand on Hip
Cross your preferred foot over the other (as Lori is doing in the first pic)
Move Chin in a Traffic Light Motion every 2 seconds (Red, Yellow, Green) to capture front facing pics.
Turn your HEAD to the left
Turn your HEAD to the right
Uncross Feet
Repeat 6& 7
Look Back (At It) as Lori is doing in the pic to the right while moving chin in traffic light motion.
Pose as if you’re a socialite who has to prepare to be photographed by paparazzi.
