Las Vegas Portrait Photographer | Posing as a Portrait Photographer

One of the most important elements of portrait photography is the pose. As a Las Vegas portrait photographer, you will need to know how to plan, choreograph and shoot poses that will help your subjects look flattering and get the pictures that match what they have in their mind. If you want to improve your posing as a portrait photographer, consider the following 3 essential tips to get you started.

Consider the nature of the photoshoot

When choosing poses, make sure you consider the nature of the photoshoot. This will help you decide n poses that are appropriate and fit the theme. For example, a fun children’s birthday shoot will have sillier and more dynamic poses than a serious business photo shoot. The more tailored the poses, the more thematic the final results will be.

Practice poses with friends and family

If you are not used to poses, you will need some help. Get a group of friends and family together and ask them to let you direct poses so that you can get a feel of what does and doesn’t work on camera. This will also give you some much-needed experience in directing photo subjects. You can also try out new poses to see if they work before testing them out on clients.

Take charge when necessary

When it comes to poses, you don’t have to micro-manage everything. Some of the best poses in portrait photography are crafted by the subject themselves. Sometimes, however, the subject(s) aren’t sure what to do or they may need help finding the right position—or, if it’s more than one person, they may be getting off task. When it comes to these circumstances, you should take charge and direct them so that you can get the photo shoot underway.

Once you have enough practice with poses, you will find it much easier to come up with dynamic pose ideas and direct subjects when they are in front of your camera lens.
