The instructor takes you on live photo sessions with individuals, couples, “fuller figure” subjects, young and older siblings and large and extended families! Watch how the instructor poses them to overcome their natural tendencies to sit or stand like statues and to get some great portraits. Included are:

  • Real life indoor and outdoor photo sessions
  • Warts and all posing i.e. Some of them don't quite work and explained why
  • Mostly non-model real live people
  • Create beautiful family photos by getting your lovely subjects into more natural, relaxed and flattering positions
  • Practice the easy steps in this course and it will pay huge dividends in your portraits
  • PDF crib sheets are available for most of lectures, keep them with you

Excluding professional models, the majority of us are unaware of our natural and unconscious body positions and so we don’t present ourselves as well as we might. For example, most tend not be be concerned with the placement of our hands, arms, tilting the head or the position of our feet. The course explains how to handle those problems. Posing is a powerful skill that will transform your portraits so not only can you copy the ones demonstrated in the videos but understand the basic dynamics of a great pose! Each video has a brief introduction and summary of the photo session just taken place, followed by a live photo session.
