I’ve been doing photography for 15 years and I wanted break my silence and share with you guys probably mine and my very well known phootgrapher friend’s biggest kept industry secret. This is a secret that most photographers hide but Im ready to let it all out there... finally.. . None of us know what we're doing. People think that we all have some kind of hidden, exclusive formula that will calculate the most perfect pose for any couple. But the truth is, I go into almost every pose completely clueless as to how its going to turn out. . "Ok put your hand here" "Tilt your chin up" "Break your elbow a little bit" "Climb up into that tree" . These are all just filler phrases I use while Im frantically trying to come up with something in my head. There is no formula, I mean sure, you can pull up a pose online and try to copy it but if that subjects are taller, shorter, ect., its almost impossible to copy it perfectly. . So heres my tip to you when it comes to posing and it works almost time. All you have to do is remember one phrase that is only 5 words. . "These are just test shots" . Ill explain, put the subjects in a very "loose" feel of the pose you're looking for, nothing too dramatic or particular. Then say the magic phrase, you can even follow up with something really technical that they will never understand, like "don't worry about your face or your body, just relax for a second, Im just making sure the calibration between the shutter speed and the white balance are coordinating well with back button focus and aligning correctly with the Jose Villa." Then start shooting. . Watch before your eyes and the most nervous and anxious couples slowly fall into the most effortless poses with the most natural facial expressions. All the while, having no clue that they're actually in the middle of their shoot. Then after your done "testing", pretend that you're actually going to shoot them now and watch their bodies freeze up like Jack and Rose. Its almost comical. Then when its time to change the pose, start "testing" again. Its so simple and easy and I promise you, this little trick will change the game for ya! . #photography #bride #wedding #fashion #photoshootposes #blowthisup #real #relationship #photomagic #photoshop #camerondallas #menendezbrothers #blacktiktok #senior #seniorphotographer #viralvideo #photoshoot #model #beauty #makeup #hair
