posing ideas

i have a couple of friends who just graduated from a pretty well known (in the industry) and accredited Massage Therapy school...

weve kind of been tossing around the idea of shooting some head/shoulder business portraits for inclusion with their resumes if they want...

im looking for some help trying to come up with a good 6-8 poses so theres enough variety between the two of them...

other than the standard h/s shots i thought maybe a 3/4 length with a therapy table but after that im stuck...

any ideas?

Just start surfing the people thread. Find images you like, save them to a folder on your laptop/tablet/smart phone and then make yourself a posing guide you can use both to consult with the client and then as a cheat sheet during the shoot.

Thanks for the tip on the posing app. Posing is a big weakness of mine, so I am hoping this will help, and remind of ideas in the field.

I downloaded the app, and it looks very useful.

Great app, thank you very much!

There really is an app for everything....thanks!

Oh wow, thanks for the posing app

had no idea an app like that existed - but makes perfect sense.

BRILLIANT! Just what I was after for my portrait photography. I've been using Pinterestrecently to gather posing ideas that I like, together in one location.

Just purchased the app. Thank you!
