Dynamic Angles
Shoot from unconventional angles to create unique perspectives and make the images stand out. This can make ordinary poses seem more intriguing.
Eye Contact With The Camera
To imbue a sense of connection with the viewer, instruct the model to look directly into the camera lens. This can create striking, intimate photographs that capture attention.
Rule of Thirds
Position the model along the lines or intersections of the rule of thirds grid to create a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing composition.
Utilizing Props
Incorporate props that the model can interact with to add context to the shot, tell a story, and help the model feel more comfortable and engaged.
Asymmetrical Poses
Encourage the model to try positions that create interesting shapes and lines, using asymmetry to add dynamism and visual interest to the composition.
Framing the Subject
Use environmental elements to frame the model within the shot, drawing attention to the model and providing context for the setting.
Movement and Flow
Capture the model in motion to create more lively and candid shots. Have them walk, turn, or interact with their environment while shooting continuously.
S-Curve Pose
Have the model stand with one hip jutted and the torso curved softly, creating an 'S' shape. This pose can flatter the figure and make the composition more engaging.
Level with the Model
Adjust your camera angle to be at the same level as the model's face or body. This creates a sense of equality and direct engagement with the subject.
Creative Use of Shadows and Highlights
Manipulate shadows and highlights to create mood and contrast in the photograph. Use lighting to cast shadows that complement the model's pose and features.
Silhouetting
Position the model against a bright background and expose for the background to create a silhouette. This can add mystery and drama to the image.
Highlighting Textures
Use lighting techniques to accentuate the textures of the garments. Side lighting, for example, can enhance textures and details on the clothing.
