Recap: Photo Posing Secrets of a Fashion Photographer

By Barbara Chaney @https://twitter.com/nightwriter · On November 16, 2018

If you want to learn how to strike the best pose, Bonnie Rodriguez is your girl. A fashion photographer who’s worked on big ad campaigns and at Fashion Week, Bonnie knows the techniques that will help anyone look good.

Here are a few…

Lighting

Lighting is everything and can make even a great pose look bad. Try to take your photos close to sunrise or sunset, when the sun is lower on the horizon and light hits you at a more flattering angle. If you take shots at Noon, you’re just asking for more shadows that highlight wrinkles and lots of other things.

Triangles

When posing, think of using your body to improve the photo’s composition. Shapes like  triangles add interest. You can create triangles by posing with one hand on your hip, for example, touching your hair with your arm bent or even sitting with your legs at an angle.

Pose with Props

You might be used to taking photos spontaneously or as the mood takes you, but try putting a little more thought into it. Plan ahead and think of props you can use in your next shoot.

Props not only add interest and make your shots look more unique, they can also give you something to focus on. Holding something as simple as a coffee cup can help you stay more relaxed as you focus on that rather than the camera. Props can spur ideas on how to pose and can add some fun to the shot.

Practice, Practice, Practice

As they say, your mileage may vary. What works great for one person, might not look great for another, so it’s best to practice in front of a mirror and before a camera.

Location

Location is important too and can make or break your shots. Look for a spot that gives you good lighting and a unique backdrop. Our meetup host, Robb & Stucky, had a variety of great areas with different decor for photo shoots. Next time you’re in Boca Raton, drop by and take a few shots of your own while salivating over the furniture. We did plenty of that ourselves.

Thank you to Robb & Stucky in Boca Raton for sponsoring and hosting our group. Find them online at RobbStucky.com or follow them on Instagram.
