Model Posing for Sitting or Kneeling - Video
Lesson
It's a fact that many poses you see in
portfolios, especially those of newcomer
models, are standing. But, in
reality you need to learn some new model posing positions
for sitting and kneeling too.
After all, you want to make sure the
agent and photographer knows you can bend your legs, don't
you? This quick video will give you some ideas of how to sit
and kneel in your poses - the camera is watching - so should
you!
Just Another Girl
...
This is not what you want to be
remembered as. What you want is a portfolio of pictures with
a variety of positions - including sitting on a couch, on
the floor, on a bed or at a counter. And, take some of you
kneeling in various themes. You will begin to get more ideas
as you go but this is a good start. Watch the video and see
if there is something you can change in your posing
technique today!
Learn How to Sit and Kneel in Model Posing for Female
Models
Natural - On Purpose
Notice in the first pictures shown
here that the models look very relaxed - modeling with their
surroundings. Everything about the pose is considered such
as wearing an outfit that compliments the pose and the
situation. These are very nice sitting poses and can be
easily adapted to your style.
Do Something - Hold
Something
Another thing I see in these poses -
in the second set one model is sitting in a bay window
reading a book. This is a beautiful editorial shot and the
way she sits demonstrates a very relaxed (and affluent)
lifestyle. The white, flowing dress draped to the floor
gives an ambiance of grace and a carefree sitting
pose.
Legs, Elbows and
Wrists
See how the legs are bent in the photo
of the Oriental model? One leg is folded to the rear while
wrists are crossed. You should have at least one or two of
your limbs bent - if only slightly when posing for the
camera. Doing so presents some motion and will again add to
a natural
posing look.
I know you are not able to learn every
one of these model posing techniques all at once but take a
few and practice doing them until you feel comfortable. Some
are playful, some are serious, and still others look a bit
out of place but you should be able to get some wonderful
female pose ideas by watching the video portfolio of
pictures. To get more lessons in getting started
