Posing Tip for Portraits

Here are simple tips for better photography

1. If you want to take a snap of an upper body portrait, you need to make your subject more engaging and friendly. The best way to achieve this is to have them lean in towards your camera a little.

2. Your subject should lean a little towards camera or you need to take photograph from slightly above.

3. If you want to have a more formal portrait, post your subject in an upright position

4. Simple posing tip for head shot and upper body portraits is to angle the shoulders of your subject rather than to have them even or squared in your shot.

Lastly, if you’re feeling like experimenting with leaning your subject back away from the camera it’s possible to create a feeling of joviality as if they are leaning back for a belly laugh. Of course leaning back can also make your subject look quite uncomfortable and even defensive and it’s a pose that I tend to avoid.
