If you are a young woman with a burning desire to become a model – in most cases you will be required to learn some female model poses no matter what type or form of the modeling area that you embark upon. Your pose is entirely up to you and your photographer.

Legs

Female model poses includes legs placement, the outline of the leg affects the viewers overall impression of the position.  This can be accomplished by exercising control over the legs.

High heels and the catwalk

High heel shoes are an important part of walking the runway for female models. Therefore, practice wearing high heels often to gain confidence. One word for heels - the higher the better to perfect the walk. Use heels because the height of your heels emphasizes your calves and gives them more definition. You’ll naturally look taller in heels too which is a plus for fashion models.

One other thought about heels. No matter how easy it looks, the runway is slippery so practice walking on a catwalk if you can gain access. This will improve your ability considerably.

“Stand up straight.”
Good posture is another important element, your posture or body language  tells your audience you are self-confident or you lack self-confidence.

Keep your head in the upright position and walk tall to achieve good  posture. Walk with a sense of purpose and boldly with an erect posture  as this also indicates you are confident and have strength. Flex you feet, you can do this when you wear high heels, and  lift your legs high for each step as well.

Walk straight too!
