Excluding professional models, the majority of us are unaware of our natural and unconscious body positions and so we donât 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.
