Last month we covered some basics (refresher if you missed it), this month we are going to fine tune the pose for the ladies.
This pose shows a common stance people default to when forced to have their photo taken... our model is facing the camera straight on with shoulders squared up to the camera, although she is a very fit person the camera adds 10-15 lbs.
With a slight turn of the body the overall mass is reduced dramatically. Additionally she has one leg forward and the knee is tucked in, this helps to bring out the curves of the figure.
The final step in the pose is to open up the arms slightly, this creates a space to see the waist and removes the additive effect the arms have when they are at the models side. If the you have something in your hands like a bouquet, raising it slightly will cause this effect naturally.
Special thanks to Jennine Estes - Relationship Guru for being a great model
