Blog: Why hire a professional photographer for your special event or family photos? POSING
FIRST
As a professional photographer, I know how to help you look your best in front of the camera. It starts with the camera settings and lens, along with the type and angle of lighting I use during the session.
SECOND
Then it’s the plan that I specifically create for your session which includes how I will pose you and others in the photo. I start by posing your feet and your hands. The hands must always have something to do.
For men, I make sure they look comfortable and lean or step forward.
To pose women, they sure look elongated, and I pose them to have negative space and show curves.
For kiddos, it’s all about the expression and just having fun with them.
For groups, I like to create triangles and avoid mirroring.
Then with any photo, I make sure there is a connection between the people within the photo, or between the individual and the camera.
THIRD
The last part is the editing process that I do when transforming your images into the final photo that you received in your website gallery by shootproof. I love to bring a bit of magic into your session and make sure you are looking your absolute best.
