    The document provides posing tips and techniques for models during headshots, sitting, and standing poses.

    Some tips for headshots include starting at a 3/4 angle, pulling the face toward the shoulder, finding a centered position and varying facial angles, utilizing hands and expressions, pulling hair away from the face, and adding drama by pushing hair from back to front.

    Some tips for sitting poses include starting in a profile and upright position for long leg angles, having the model rock forward and backward to add personality, utilizing the floor and relaxed positions, finding asymmetry in the legs for more interest, resting the elbow on the knee, and taking advantage of opportunities for playfulness.

    POSING GUIDE

    MODEL TESTING for Female models

    POSING GUIDE for Female models

    OVERVIEW
    I like to think of this guide as more of a cheat sheet than a posing flow. I want you to have this as
    the backbone of your posing, but you will add flair through your own creativity and
    circumstance. You don’t need a different guide for every type of vibe. This simple sheet works
    for any shoot and will give you the confidence to say  “we got it”.

    Don’t forget to repeat these poses facing left and right for more options. If you feel stuck, add
    face angles to each variation (my current obsession is chin high from a 3/4 angle to get great
    catch lights and cheekbones). You can also add hands, foot movement, and hair play to any of
    these standard shots for even MORE variety.

    SITTING TIP #4

    Find asymmetry in the legs for more interest

    SITTING TIP #5

    Resting the elbow on the knee allows the model to react to the hand

    PRO EDU
    Elizabeth Wiseman
    SITTING TIP #6

    Sitting is a great opportunity to inject playfulness

    PRO EDU
    STANDING TIPS

    PRO EDU
    Elizabeth Wiseman
    Standing TIP #1

    Start facing forward and utilize the clothes as hand placement

    PRO EDU
    Elizabeth Wiseman
    Standing TIP #2

    Knees turned in and together is more flattering than knees separated


    This creates an S curve

    PRO EDU
    Elizabeth Wiseman
    Standing TIP #3

    Turn profile, many new models will tend to stay fully forward

    PRO EDU
    Elizabeth Wiseman
    Standing TIP #4

    Try my leg kick trick! Start with a kick backward

    PRO EDU
    Elizabeth Wiseman
    Standing TIP #5

    Then as the leg comes forward allow it to kick slightly forward

    PRO EDU
    Elizabeth Wiseman
    Standing TIP #6

    And then bring it across the front for a more unexpected move. This may cause
    the model to wobble, that’s great! It may end up being an interesting shot with
    unexpected reactions and expressions. This kick trick can be editorial or
    commercial. For editorial, ask the model to be more loose with the way her body
    reacts to the sweeping foot.
