How to pose for fashion shoot? (Standing)

Model is a learn-from-working job. Art director and photographer will normally direct you how to pose during the shoot. However you can also learn from reading fashion magazines. I pick up few photos with classic pose to explain you how to pose for fashion shoot.

Firstly, relax your facial espression and body but leave your eyes deliver the message(strong,sexy,confused,dull,naive,aggressive...)



And you need to always exaggerate your pose. Make sure you show those angle, curve, length.



But always make sure you look "not struggling"for the pose. Beautiful long neck is essential to make you look as elegant as a swan, don't pose like a turtle.




The last but not the least: Be Confident!

Meeting new model

Yesterday I met a girl. She is a student in her last year of university, has been trying to get into the modelling industry for 1 year. She did very few projects because she is still not with any agency, she told me once an agency offer her to shoot a book with their photographer. She went to the studio, they shoot her 10 photos and stop there then the agent ask her to exchange the rest of photos with sex. So she quit the shooting and avoid that agency, just unfortunately and fortunately only waste her time and got no photos. It's true, modelling is a very difficult job because the industry is full of lies, scams, sex, drugs.......But it's you to make decision. Being firm and aware of the environment is very important. I turned off many agencies because those agencies are not with modelling association or doing some underground business.
