Posing

Well, I will give a more in depth up date on my photo shoot later-- but for now, I wanted to jot down before I forget something that I learned.  My lab offers free trainings from time to time.  I watched a tutorial from a female boudoir photographer in NY a couple of weeks ago.  I don't know if I will ever do boudoir photography, but I was hoping that by watching her techniques to make women look their best-- I could gain some insight for posing female subjects.  Today-- I see so many things I messed up on this photo shoot and as always, so much to learn.  But, I can take away this positive and that is that I learned SOMETHING from that tutorial I watched.  My female subject kept posing herself sort of awkwardly and straight on with the camera.  I was able to give instructions and then if that didn't work, I demonstrated to get a pose that I think is much more flattering.  A tiny success but I will take what I can get!
