Which are the main poses for a model portfolio?

[Cuervo79]

well to me there are no "main poses" the thing is that for a model portfolio I use poses and angles that focus on the model and not the clothes or the background, at least for the start. I focus on how can I photograph the model in order to get different looks in order to show the range the model can do, also focus on their best attributes and make them stand out. The poses also vary on what crop you're doing is it a portrait, mid body or full body shot. I'm still learning but that's what I've found while doing it.

A model posing guide (http://www.fotoart-dr.de/MPG/PosingGuide.pdf) if any help to you. Warning: large PDF file.

What sort of portfolio and what sort of modeling?

The portfolio of a swimsuit model will be quite different from that of a high fashion model, which will be different from that of a promo girl.
