Posing and Lighting

Workshop by:

Holly and Keith Howe


So you have a body in front of your lens. Do you find yourself  wondering “what do I do now?” Even if you are not comfortable with your posing skills, it’s important to project confidence to your client. This class will give you the tools to do just that!  We will start with the basics of masculine and feminine poses. You will learn what is a C pose and what is an S pose.  We will talk about why it’s so important to remember you are posing a three dimensional form in a two dimensional media.  We will talk about fine tuning and how small tips and twists make all the difference between a successful portrait and something just looking off.  And then we will even touch on the dreaded hand posing. See what I did their “touch” and “hand”. Yuk yuk! The jokes don’t get any better than this but the education is groovy!  Lastly you will learn what to do with an abundant subject and how to make everyone look their best.
