Portraits – Striking the Pose

Experienced portrait photographers all have a set of ‘go to’ poses for any situation. Over years and years they’ve experimented, learned what works, what doesn’t and how to position their subjects to perfection. The problem is that this wisdom often sits in the back of their mind, hidden from view…

Portraits: Striking the Pose is broken down into three sections:

• The Rules: The golden rules of great poses. Using visual queues, praise, energy and authenticity and much more.
• The Gear: Whilst covered more comprehensively in Gina’s previous book ‘Making The Shot‘, Gina will remind you what sort of gear you should be looking for to capture great portraits
• The Way: The most chunky part of the book. Gina will show you how to connect with people, organise and direct like a pro. She then dives into specific details of different posing scenarios (men, women, children, couples, groups and more) with loads of examples for you to refer bad to again and again.
