Quick Video Course for Beginner Female
Modeling Poses
How to stand, how to turn your head,
what do I do with my hands - all a part of technique when it
comes to successful female modeling poses.
Before you step in front of the camera
for your first or 100th model photo shoot, know the answers
to these questions. This video shows step by step
instructions for posing the female form.
Talk to Your
Photographer
When you finally learn
how
to become a model and step
into the studio (or maybe on location for a shoot) tell your
photographer about some of the pose ideas you have that will
show your body and face in the best light. If you have
practiced, he or she should welcome your suggestions. But,
be gentle - suggest, don't order! Let's watch Josie Maran as
she shows you how to pose.

Props
A great way to elongate your neck and
have the freedom to turn in various pose positions is by
asking for a stool - not the high wooden type but something
lower and comfortable. This way you can do modeling poses in
side view, straight on leaning forward or back. Lots of
choices here!
Head Positions
As the stool helps you to center your
body, try different head
positions in posing. Your head
can be turned from side to side, tilted to the side (just a
bit) held down or back (not too far).
Modeling Poses for the
Body
One pose idea is to sit with your body
twisted a little away from the camera looking back over your
shoulder, with head into the forward shoulder, straight up
to show a longer neck form, etc. These poses are fun and
playful or, they can be sultry and sexy - you choose
according to the shot you want to see in your final
photo.
Modeling Poses - Mind
Technique
Use your mind as well as your body
when posing for the camera. If you really want to become a
model you'll need to master this part. Your eyes should tell
a story when you pose. So, practice closing your eyes, take
a deep breath, imagine something having to do with the look
you want, open your eyes and sell the look!
It's really that simple but takes some
work to perfect. But, once you do, you might find that
modeling jobs are coming your way where you can learn and
show off even more poses ! Now, develop your talent and get
to the mirror!
