Win-win poses for a photo shoot in nature and in the studio

Portrait

The simplest and most effective way is to turn half-turn to the camera (or in profile). Smile, look thoughtful, close your eyes, look at the camera - no matter what you do, this pose will always win.

If the photo session takes place on the street and there is a wind, even a slight one - rejoice! There is nothing more beautiful than picturesquely disheveled hair. Take advantage of this.

Another effective way to bring a photo to life is to use your hands. Do not be shy: imagine that you are dancing at a concert of your favorite band, lift your hair up, play with strands, spin, stretch to the sky (by the way, you will seem slimmer). But remember that folded arms are closed.

Want a positive photo? Catch the sun. This method is suitable for any time of the year.

In a sitting and lying position, both gentle and daring images are good. On the street, in nature, you can and should find support: a tree, a wall, a beautiful fence. Use a shadow: with it, the photos are original.

Original and very vivid portraits are obtained when the photographer focuses on the foreground. Pick up a flower, sparkler, fluffy dandelion. Experiment.

The same poses work well for studio shots. Indoors, you can play with light in an interesting way.

For couples in love

In pair photos, as in portraits, the main rule is more emotion and naturalness. Show your feelings, enjoy life and the fact that you are together. The priority is hugs, smiles, kisses. It is important that all this is comfortable for you.

A photo shoot in a studio has its own characteristics: the room has a limited area, there is no chic view, like in nature. But you can show your feelings and take a good photo even on a few square meters.

For autumn photo shoots

Autumn is a time of bright accents and light sadness. Scatter leaves, stock up on hot coffee, philosophize, look for scenic spots before it snows.

For winter photo shoots

Use the main winter riches: frost and sun, fluffy snow, deep snowdrifts, ice, picturesque forest, contrasting shadows. Bright knitted hats and scarves will help.

How to look better in the photo

Stretch your neck, push your chin forward, take your shoulders back, straighten your chest. This will make you look much more attractive.
The neck can be lengthened by turning sideways and slightly lowering the shoulder that is closer to the photographer.
To avoid having a double chin in the photo, the camera should be just above your eye level.
The eyes will appear larger if you are photographed from above.
But for those who have a small chin or a triangular face, it is better to ask the photographer to hold the camera at the level of your neck.
To lengthen your legs, you need to dress in a certain way, put your feet on your toes, or stand on tiptoe.
