Men's Formals Pics Please

[i2iSTUDIOS]

Hi guys, I wanted to see some of the examples of formals for the guys if you could. Thanks. :)

[EOS_JD]

Surprised noone has provided anything yet! I'd like to see some too as they do require very different poses to that of the Bride/Maids

[Claire]

I also want to see! I hope the groom isn't forgotten during the wedding...

This is only my 2nd post. Can't wait to see what the comments are.

I don't have time to trawl through all my weddings for these photos, but I have a few pointers. The guys often need to look big, tough, and masculine. You can have them stand in a line, cross their arms, and shoot up at them, being careful of the background. Have them lean against a wall, either with their back or shoulder, however they're comfortable, maybe with their legs crossed. Guys need to be told how to stand, which is with their weight on the back foot, the other foot forward, and make sure it's the outside foot that's forward. Make sure hands in pockets doesn't spoil the line of the suit. Do jackets up as undone makes them look fat. Arms should be in similar positions, but not hanging limply at their sides. If they were sunglasses do a shot with and a shot without. If the guys have their arms around each other the line of the suits looks bad to me.

Hope that helps.

OK well i went to my website and just added a few from there - i usually just go with the flow and if they seem like a lively bunch i ask a lot from them (Eg. act like big girls!) haha

There's some nice shots here. It always seems more difficult for me to thing of good poses for the men, but these seem to help. Thanks poster for asking this question!

Toogy, I really like what you did with your pics.

Heres one I recently did. Poor quality but gives you an idea. I had to scan my portfolio image because the orig. is on my other computer.

[Claire]

Toogy, love the 2nd shot!

[staciecd]

Toogy, all of your shots are great - looks like ads from a magazine. Not only are the poses great, but the guys look like they had alot of fun with them.

Toogy - these are brilliant!

Dsze - Like your composition!

Thanks for posting

[Claire]

What about shots of only the groom? I feel like I keep seeing mainly shots of brides, but not that many of the groom.
