  Be a Pro at Posing
  It is easy to pose when you have real models, they are dressed right and they all have perfect body sizes. Anyone can do that. But the reality is, most family sessions begin with folks who are not prepared for photos in how they are dressed or their body sizes not being quite perfect. So we are going to walk thru how to set up groups quickly and efficiently. For couple shot’s we will pay attention to making each person look the best they can and creating different poses quickly with simple changes. We will talk about eye to lip ratios and stair stacking methods for posing. We will pose men masculine and woman feminine. We will chat about body sizes and making folks look the best they can so they will love their photos. We will talk about triangles and diamond patterns. For foursomes, we will talk about the Nike Swish. We will review the difference between broad lighting and short lighting men and woman. When faces with a large group we will teach how to let the group pose themselves and then you the photographer twigs it to make it perfect. Included will be CPP tricks that will make your photos look better. Then we will do hands on, group training posing up as many groups as we can as we speed dial thru posing.
