HOW TO RELAX, POSE, AND LOOK AMAZING
YOUR FRIENDLY POSING GUIDE
Clothing isn't just fabric — it's a message. What story do you want to tell with your shoot?
-
Timeless Classic: Black-on-black, oversized white shirts, silk dresses — pure elegance.
-
Soft and Bohemian: Linen, light tones, textures that play with light.
-
Modern Bold: Monochrome, structured suits, leather accents, statement jewelry.
THE LOOK: Your Outfit Is a Mood, Not Just Clothes
GOLDEN RULE: Avoid loud logos. They distract and cheapen the aesthetic.
MAKEUP: Glow,
But
Don’t
Shine
TIP: Prepare references — show your photographer what styles you love.
-
Skin first. Hydrate well the day before. A few hours before the shoot — under-eye patches and a gentle facial massage.
-
Foundation should be natural, not mask-like. The camera enhances both light and shadows.
-
Choose one focal point: either bold eyes or bold lips — not both.
-
Final touches: matte powder and a touch of highlighter on the cheekbones and inner eye corners.
HAIR: Effortless, Not Messy
TIP: Manicure — even if your hands “won’t be in the frame.” Details matter.
POSING: Flow, Don’t Freeze
-
The best shots are in motion. A soft step, a head turn, playing with your clothes or hair — natural movement is everything.
-
Body awareness: elongate the neck, keep the spine tall, relax your mouth and jaw.
-
Micro-expressions: a gentle eye-smile, a spark of mischief, a pensive glance over the shoulder. It all works.
-
Don’t over-style. Soft waves, a casual bun, or sleek straight hair — let your look breathe. Movement and texture are key.
-
Bring a brush, pins, and light hairspray — you might need a quick fix.
TIP: Bring still water, and eat something light beforehand — low blood sugar is not a good look.
