EXPERT INSIGHT STRIKE A POSE

Louise says… Once I’ve found a suitable location and framed my shot I’ll position myself in the frame and spend a minute or two considering a range of poses that may work. I’ll then set off the interval timer and change poses every time the camera takes a shot. Posing is harder than it looks, especially if you’re cycling through 20 or so different poses. If you find yourself wondering where to put your hands, hold a prop. It’s also worth thinking about how you can shape your body to lead the eye or complement the framing. If you’re nervous about showing your face, turning away from the camera slightly can prove compelling.
