For portrait photographers, the pose of the model is a great challenge. Whether it is a novice or an experienced veteran, sometimes we just look at the model's mind blank. Next, I will bring you the posing skills of portrait photography and reveal the physical beauty of beautiful models. Welcome everyone to refer to it!
The posture of the figure's body can express the emotion of the figure and enrich the expression form of the picture composition. The beauty of portrait photography is to express the beauty of characters and the beauty of picture situation through their body language.
When shooting portraits, cleverly designing the beauty of the scene can create the beauty of the plot and artistic conception. Let's take a look at what we need to pay attention to when posing.
First, stand.
Standing posture is one of the most common postures in portrait photography. Standing portraits can fully show the body lines of characters, with great aesthetic freedom and many postures.
First of all, the feet should be placed reasonably and stand steadily to show the body shape; Swing the leg first to determine the center of gravity leg, the other leg can be more casual, you can use overlapping steps, inner eight characters, outer eight characters and other shapes to express the leg posture; The shape of crotch and shoulder determines the line of waist, and the posture can be changed by the height and twist of shoulder and crotch. The shoulder line and the crotch line are horizontal, so the posture is dignified. The greater the included angle between the shoulder line and the crotch line, the more lively the action of the role. Through the lines of upper limbs and trunk, various beautiful posture structures can be formed, and gestures can make the posture of characters more changeable. Standing portraits generally adopt S-shaped, triangular, diagonal and other composition methods.
Pay attention to the following points when posing as a portrait:
A. One leg of the subject stands straight, and the other leg is freely crossed or slightly lifted. Don't bend your straight legs, and keep your body straight when you lift your legs. The laying of legs and feet is the premise of laying upper body parts.
B, the subject's head, chest and buttocks are generally not in a straight line. Let the main line of the body form a curve or S line.
C, head, chest, buttocks formed by the plane block should not be in a plane. For example, when the chest lump is forward, the face should be sideways. For example, when the chest is sideways, the ass should be turned forward.
D. general standing posture requires swinging from the feet.
Second, sitting posture
Sitting portrait is more limited than standing portrait, but sitting posture can form a beautiful curve, which is also conducive to eliminating the tension of the subject. Sitting portrait is suitable for static characters, and the expression of the subject should be restrained and animal. The shape of the spine is very important in representing portraits sitting on the side. When the subjects sit down, they should sit on the front of the chair in a virtual posture, so as to avoid the thighs looking thick and the back unable to lean on the back of the chair. Pay attention to supporting the upper body with his spine to make his posture natural. When sitting, it can coordinate with the limbs to form a smooth body curve, which is generally composed of frames, diagonals and curves.
Sitting posture is based on sitting posture inclined to the camera at 45 degrees, which can be divided into three types: oblique sitting posture, back sitting posture and side back sitting posture. The angles formed by the upper and lower torso can be divided into right-angle sitting posture, obtuse sitting posture and acute sitting posture. If the legs are crossed, they can be divided into thigh crossing and calf crossing.
When shooting sitting portraits, we should pay attention to the following aspects:
A, sitting portrait is suitable for static performance, and the subject's expression should be restrained, including animals.
B, the treatment of subjects' joints is the key part. On the whole. It's rare to take pictures in a sitting position, because then your knees will rush to the camera and your thighs will look thick and clumsy.
C. The spine treatment of sitting portraits is also very important, because the emotions of sitting portraits are written on the back, especially when shooting the side facing the sitting posture and sitting posture. When the mood is high and the spirit is full, the spine is always straight. When in a bad mood, the spine will be greatly curled, while the spine in a normal state of mind is only slightly bent. Therefore, when the subject sits down, the photographer should remind him not to sit too firmly, to sit in vain, and not to lean back on the chair. Pay attention to supporting the upper body with his spine.
D, sitting portrait is not easy to show the figure, generally do not choose loose and fat clothing, in order to better reflect the figure curve and the lines of limbs, it is best to let customers wear tight clothing.

The posture of a character's body can express his emotions and enrich the expressive force of picture composition. The beauty of portrait photography is to express the beauty of characters and the beauty of picture situation through their body language.
When shooting portraits, cleverly designing the beauty of the scene can create the beauty of the plot and artistic conception. Let's take a look at what we need to pay attention to when posing.
Third, prone position
Lying posture is a relatively relaxed posture, which can highlight the feminine curve of women.
You can use the support of your arms to create changes in your limbs, such as lying on your side. In composition, horizontal lines, diagonal lines and other composition methods can be used.
Fourth, other gestures
After understanding the shooting methods of standing, sitting and lying down, we will understand the performance methods of running, lying down, squatting and sports postures respectively.
1, running posture
It is not a simple thing to grasp the running posture in an instant. It is very important to reflect the stretching of the body and the lines of the muscles. Try to make the model show a professional and powerful posture. Of course, it should be noted that the same hands and feet should be avoided.
Step 2: Attitude
Prone posture can make the subject more relaxed and casual, which is conducive to the expression of relaxed and casual posture and the expression of relaxed and happy picture atmosphere.
The movement of the arm plays a role in supporting the center of gravity of the body, showing the posture of the character and guiding the audience's line of sight in prone position.
Step 3 kneel
In shooting, the following two kneeling postures are the most commonly used:
1。 When a character kneels, he will stand up at his waist or sit on his lap. Usually, this kind of action is suitable for expressing the cute and playful character of customers. Body language is relaxed and natural. If you want to exaggerate the characters, you can try to shoot from a positive angle.
2。 At the same time, the figure knelt down and supported the ground with both hands, and the posture was sexy. In order to show your figure better, you can shoot from the side. This posture can also be called kneeling.
Step 4 jump posture
The beauty of the jump mainly depends on the height of the take-off, the stretching degree of the action and the time of suspension in the air. The height of take-off is related to the explosive power of the model, and the stretching degree of the action is related to the physical coordination of the model. The main factor that affects air time is the balance and control of our body's center of gravity.
In fact, even a professional model will feel at a loss when standing in front of the camera to do beauty dancing. First of all, we should find ways to eliminate the model's nervousness, such as making the model feel that the action itself is not very difficult through simple demonstration and guidance, or mobilizing the model's interest through some simple jumping movements and empty shots, thus showing the beauty we finally want. Before shooting, we must tell the model the beauty of our design, the height of the take-off, the stretching degree of the action, and the final control of the body center of gravity, so that the model can adjust the expression and expression in place before reaching the peak of the jump.
