The POSE Series by Sue Bryce
We are all built differently, but we all pose the same. Becoming confident in the fundamentals of posing and direction will change your business.
POSING FOUNDATIONS THAT WORK FOR ALL BODY TYPES
You’ll learn to pose clients while sitting, standing against a wall, standing free without support, using the floor while sitting and laying down, and while sitting or standing with a beauty table. Sue shows how any body type can do all the poses at each level, but it’s most important to pay attention to what is comfortable and naturally flattering for each individual person.
HOW TO GIVE YOUR CLIENTS CONFIDENT DIRECTION
When you can direct your clients with confidence and ease, they will spend less time worrying about how they look and more time in relaxed confidence, feeling gorgeous, empowered, and safe.
TIPS FOR ACTIVATING THE BODY, ENGAGING EXPRESSION, & CAPTURING BEAUTIFUL CONNECTION
By bringing yourself and your clients through Sue’s foundations, you can create beautiful shapes and engaging expressions, so you can capture images your clients will love.
The Pose Series Fundamentals
In this lesson, you’ll learn the fundamental posing rules and definitions that will form the basis of all the following lessons.
Sitting Poses
Starting your clients off in a position they feel least vulnerable in can get your photoshoot off to a great start. When people have their bum on the seat, they feel grounded, comfortable, and relaxed.
Standing Poses
In this lesson, as you learn how to shape the body from the ground up, you also will learn how to pay attention to how your client moves, how much flexibility they have, and how you need to reposition their chin each time they shift into a new pose. With your client in a standing position, while working through all the different poses, you see what looks good on each body, and Sue teaches you how important it is to keep moving and looking around the frame, so you can keep on finding magical shots.
Wall Poses
The wall is great for foundation poses. It’s incredible for personal branding and portraits and can be an excellent place to start your shoot because people feel so confident when they have something to lean on. You can use any wall in your studio, and you can always find a wall outside on location.
Floor Poses
When bringing clients to the floor, it is so important to pay attention to their physical ability to do so. Many people are very comfortable on the floor, but others need special accommodations to make this safe for them. In this lesson, Sue shows how floor posing looks for those who have a lot of flexibility and also how to safely accommodate someone who does not. She also gives you great tips for desexualizing floor poses for teens and children.
Beauty Posing Table
All you need is a good solid table, desk, or even an apple box, and your styling possibilities are limitless. Posing table shots are for what is traditionally known as beauty posing. These images are all about showcasing skin, makeup, jewellery, scarves, and even hats. It’s all about elegant framing with the arms and hands and those gorgeous face shots.
