2. Being a photographer, I have seen many people being
awkward while posing for the camera. Recently, I went to
my cousin’s sangeet ceremony and her friends wanted me
to click their pictures. When I asked them to pose for the
camera, everyone seemed uncomfortable in front of the
camera. That’s when I thought, it must be a task for non-
models and common people to pose during a usual or an
occasional photo shoot.
I searched on Google, but all the information is scattered.
And so, I decided, the focus of these blogs is upon the new
members or noobs who would like to get clicked. This blog
deals with simple photography pose for noobs.
3. Try something
simple
I suggest you try something effortless. I know, clicking
candid photos is a cliché trend of the times, but trust me, it
works! Dress up well, look in any of your directions but not
the camera is exactly what is required. Changing your
directions is useful to add natural lights and shadows, it is
also useful for the body shape to look attractive. You can
add props to your pictures to make them more candid, just
look toward the prop or lean towards it.
4. Something to
lean on
A simple picture looks good when you lean on it. For
example, consider a wall, you can click a nice picture by
leaning on it. Moreover, the texture of the wall will be
helpful to give a sort of theme to your picture. Lean on a
chair, the bed wall gives your picture a touch of comfort
and happiness. Also, it gives support to your body to
maintain a proper shape.
5. Crossed legs
always help
You might have seen people posting Instagram pictures
with crossed legs. Do you know the reason behind it? The
reason is, it makes a picture more presentable. Also, while
doing this kind of pose, you put your weight on the leg that
is behind so that, your body does not look bulky, instead, it
should seem lighter in the picture. If you decide to sit in a
crossed leg position and click a picture, it looks young,
bold, raw, and street style. This can be combined with arms
or leg movements for enhancement.
6. Close-ups
Close-ups are one such way of capturing the expressional
beauty of a human face. Close are all about a perfect
level of light on your face that will enlighten your picture.
Cheekbones, jawlines, eyes, lips are important parts for
clicking close-ups. People usually prefer a smiling for close-
ups but, it is too common for the times. Sometimes, showing
expressions like smirking, anger, laughter are fine for
clicking good pictures.
7. The mirror makes
it better
Adding a mirror to your pictures is beneficial for the
advancement of your pictures. A mirror is considered to be
a sign of positivity. Adding a mirror to your image can add
to the vibrancy. To maintain the balance of light, a mirror is
added to the picture. Other than that, the mirror adds class
and so, it won’t be wrong to say that adding a mirror to
your picture is a trend.
