Suggestions on posing heavy set couple?

Hey everyone!

I did do a search, maybe I didnt use the right words.. But I am looking for any links, threads on here to help guide me on posing a heavyset couple?

The male is not so heavy set.. but the female is.

I would like to make sure that I am shooting from flattering angles, and not put anything out there that would bum her out.

Any suggestions, links, articles, threads are greatly appreciated.

I apologize if there is a thread already in place..

I'm sure others will have more experience, but I have read a couple of pointers.

1) Don't shoot from below the level of her face. You don't want her looking down at your camera - it will accentuate chin and neck folds. If you can actually elevate yourself above eye-level with a step ladder or stool, it's more flattering. (This is true regardless of the model's size.)

2) A hand on the lower hip will help to accentuate or give the illusion of a waist-line. (Also true of slimmer models.)

thank you..I did have a pretty good understanding of those rules.. but as far as the posing of the couple together, im a little lost on.

So im hoping that i can get some more info soon!

thank you though!

Have you seen this thread?

to reduce the double chin have the subject stick their chin towards you and then tilt down the face. You could also shoot from a higher angle.
