POSING GUIDE – Volume 4

So the weight is right, the feet are right and head is right – now to make sure you don’t spoil the image with “bad hands”. Seriously, badly positioned hands can make or break a photo.

Hands can be used expressively to add drama to the pose or expression and character to certain portraits, but initially – best to keep it simple.

If in doubt though – hide them lol ( joke )

No seriously, the key with hands is to try and keep them relaxed. Ladies have a tendency to spray fingers – men are the opposite and tend to clench into a fist. The side of the hand is always more elegant than the back. For ladies this can look more flattering and feminine. If you can keep your hand above the waist with the wrist slightly bent, this will also enhance the gracefulness of any pose

For the men – be careful about hands in pockets. If you much tuck them in, just use your thumbs and hook them. On a photograph, hands fully in pockets can make you look like you have no hands at all
