Sitting Poses

Starting your clients off in a position they feel least vulnerable in can get your photoshoot off to a great start. When people have their bum on the seat, they feel grounded, comfortable, and relaxed.

In this lesson, Sue demonstrates how she teaches her clients about mirror posing and directing the face with the hand. She talks you through her process of changing compositions, how the camera angle & tilt varies for different clients, and she teaches you how to be constantly moving and changing your position, so that you can be sure to capture plenty of different images your client will love.
