Pose Training @ Botanical Gardens, Birmingham UK

Attended a course on composition and posing.

Nice to cover some theory for a change. I've attended some courses where they just set up for you and off you go.

The only equipment used here is silver reflection and the camera (obviously).

C&C Welcome...

Final 3 chosen here...

Small PP done on these...

Not really impressed with the posing if that was the purpose of the course... .

First image - great for a passport pose. Too straight on in other words
Second image-not happy with the right hand being square to the camera and the missing parts of her fingers
Third, Fourth, & Sixth images- poses make her look a lot bigger than I bet she really is.
Fifth image straight on again and now she has dark eye sockets.

If this was a paid model for the event then maybe someone should have suggested a wardrobe change?

Pretty subject though....

Care to elaborate?

only decent pose is #2... rest are boring and look like snapshots

Sorry for the redo on the post... but I did want to explain my comments a little. If you learn something each time you shoot then I still call it a success. And thanks for sharing!

If this was a posing exercise, Why did you crop them all so tight?

like 2 and 4
