What is Micro Posing? Helping you understand Posing more!
Today we go more behind the scenes on how Brandon poses his models and how to get another look from your model just by adjusting the model slightly in any direction. This is known as micro posing or micro adjustments. A skill everyone should learn and apply. It's important how one small adjustment to your pose can have such an amazing impact on the shot!

You show a photographer can take pics anywhere. Thank you I appreciate insight you provide on every shoot! Your videos are extremely informative and helps with learning the WHY.

DUUUUDDDEEEE!!!!!! THOSE STAIR SHOTS!! GHAAADDD DAAAMMMNN!!!!

Love love love these posing videos ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️

[@Bryan-lu4du]

Really great photos as always!

[@FarmGirlChronicles]

Welcome back Brandon!!!! Thank you for your service! :-)

[@marvinsheppard9]

Great job on getting the light on her eyes and the ND filter on the background is fantastic!

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Marvin Sheppard thank u

[@pictureperf]

Brandon, old photographer here in buffalo NY, learned on film. I like how your main is feathered to produce "illumination" as opposed to just light. Without the feathering skin shine comes into play and the light doesn't blend in. Great posing and technique!

[@BrandonColePhotography]

I appreciate that man. Thank yoU!

[@matrixphotodesign]

One of the first ever posing video that was actually helpful, plus not hard to look at.

[@mrjamesholliday]

Micro Posing? Will definitely use this information on my next shoot.

[@BrandonColePhotography]

James Holliday no doubt

[@MsGonza010]

So good to see you back!

[@spielermediaproductions]

Just recently have gotten more comfortable with talking to my model to get the pose I know will look better. First time on one of your videos and I like your format. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Aaron Spieler I appreciate it fam

[@PierEscher]

Wow, great video! Love your model direction, and that shot at 8:06 is amazing. Cheers!

[@honda86tb]

Great shots dude. Beautiful model

Dope set

[@CoachAnthonyMiller]

Solid tutorial, Brandon! Keep at it.

[@NYourWill]

Great instructional video. Nice model.

[@drblakeslovick4607]

Bro it's so many photographers on KZbin blame posing on the models or IG girl. That's so weak. They really don't try to learn either. 😄 I watch you & Ernesto or Travis Harris. You guys have skills at posing. Make a posing app Brandon. 💰💰💰💰

[@BrandonColePhotography]

blake slovick hmmmm damn thats a good idea.

[@2zany4u]

Do you have any trouble using eye AF in the sun backlit situation like this ?

[@alwaysbenicesmileoften8492]

Great job! Nice work I think the model did fantastic and your direction and willingness to work and listen was awesome! Thanks for this def sub!

[@bigdap100]

Excellent!

[@alonzab_photography]

What would your setting been if you didn't use the ND filter?

[@Photomeike]

BROOOO!!! @13:13 reminds me of the first 25 seconds of my most recent video. We've all been there. Gorgeous model! Good stuff!

i love this look. i've been trying to achieve this lighting with the same background effect. i will be practicing for a couple of shoots this weekend.

[@davidcarvalho1714]

Yo Brandon, Once again, great video..👍🏽 Just what I needed to see, as I myself need to home in a little more on my posing of models technique.. 😎👌🏽

[@BrandonColePhotography]

David Carvalho indeed fam

[@Methodical2]

Curious. Why don't you use a grip on the camera to keep from having to twist your hand awkwardly to activate the shutter? Camera grips put your hand in a more natural state on the camera when held vertically.

[@BrandonColePhotography]

They make the camera bigger and bulkier which is not the reason most people went mirrorless in the first place. Me personally i cant stand grips. I like the form factor of the camera

[@Methodical2]

@@BrandonColePhotography Gotcha...

[@scorpio2fivephotography]

dope work

Nice video..lovely model. Stay safe everyone...regards..David in the UK.

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Thanks bro

[@abadmontoya2481]

Hi, I really enjoy you're videos, its very interesting , just I have a question.. Why use a iso 50? I mean for me its better use a iso 100 and adjust the speed shooter to 150 or 200, is the same light, and more sharp, ist just a question thx

[@earlrogersjr3026]

Nice video I like your models

[@rodneyparrish6345]

Great job as usual... learning a lot from you!!!

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Thank you

[@LoccdNLoaded]

Love the vid bro! Posing is still my weakness. I’m getting better with light and editing.. but posing is KILLING me

[@askabarberpodcast7660]

Do you have any editing videos

[@coachgreg54]

Nice use of that ND Filter!

[@coreybrewington2297]

Brandon I don't remember you using ND filters before. Was it used for a more dramatic effect or another reason with the sun setting?

[@GNOBNX]

Corey Brewington Brandon goes to school too. Also the Peter Mckinnon Polar Pro store (ocassionally) maybe???😁...

[@anthonyshealy]

What ND filter were you using?

[@mrmar90]

Cole... I see a slight physical transformation there 💪🏾

[@ReviveDrive]

what light did u use please?

[@FAMUCHOLLY]

Gonna start calling you "The Professor"... 'cause this was like a college level lecture and demonstration!

[@BrandonColePhotography]

FAMUCHOLLY lol that’s what I wanted it to be like. More educational and teaching not focused so much on music and model

[@FAMUCHOLLY]

What 4stop Nd filter were you using?

Orendorff Studios 6 stop Tiffen

thx bro

@3:47 "it's too early for that " 🤣 @15:36 love that shot with blue sky but maybe could have incorporated the steps in background to include the leading lines. Great as always 👏

was this the xplor 600 in the softbox?

yes

I see a lot of myself in this shoot! Fun times

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Much love

[@beauphomasterpiece3795]

Love this . I tend to do this in my shoot. At first i was like do i really wanna spend the extra 5-10 mins posing my models but i believe it’s definitely worth it if you want the shot . I also like my photos to have character as i call it so instead of standing straight up , move an elbow or foot to add texture . Would you mind doing a video on how you choose which soft box equipment and lens you bring to a shoot ? I’m looking at few soft boxes with some HSS strobes and I would like to narrow down a few that I can use in most situations .

[@BrandonColePhotography]

BeauPho Masterpiece coming soon

[@sparkleinureye]

I would love to work with you. I absolutely love the way you work with the model 📸

Good stuff bro 👍🏾

[@1hour_loop]

make a video showing us how you edit your photos from scratch that would really help

[@Zion504HD]

It’s nice but one thing I would’ve did was brighten the background by bringing up the white just my opinion

[@GNOBNX]

MODELS PLEASE TAKE NOTE: NO CELL PHONES AT THE SHOOT PLEASE, SO UNPROFESSIONAL AND DISRESPECTFUL TO THE PHOTOGRAPHERS TIME. YOU SHOULD BE SOAKING UP EVERYTHING GOING ON TO MAKE EACH SHOOT BETTER FOR YOU AND THE PHOTOGRAPHER(S). JUS’ SAYIN’. BRAVO ZULU MR. COLE...✊🏾🔱

[@StayFresh211]

Dope content, Keep It Up

[@WilliamWood2014]

Great shots! But, she was distracted from the shoot by her attention to what was on her phone!

[@lorraine6185]

Man, I can’t believe what happen to your hair light! I remember when your cart went into the water. And, what happened to your 48” softbox?

[@ericwilson2632]

😭

[@Watchingmen]

Great work, but it felt a bit contrived and not super fluid? Maybe what you are trying to coin as "micro posing" should be done by the model and you just give her a general guideline, hints and feedbacks since she can't see herself? It felt micro managed all over!

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Posing is micro managing. My models really never posed themselves. I am the creative director. They cannot see what you see. It's my job as the photographer to "manage" them, pose them and get the shot i need.

[@Watchingmen]

@@BrandonColePhotography well, I am just starting. I mostly work with amateur models so I have to give them hints and study posing myself. I try to get them out of their headspace to expand into their comfort zone with some fluidity and spontaneous movements. I shoot only natural light though. My approach is try not to get on the way of their creative process, hoping we both get in the zone on the same page. You obviously have more experience then me, so you know your thing. Thank you so much for taking your time to answer! Loved your amazing soldier in the woods set!

[@KOT_Media_ng]

She's very beautiful ❤

[@Jimmy_Cavallo]

Always crushing it...!! 3:13 “I’m gonna bring it up a little more. That’s a good idea. HAA. Your chin is protected nicely and that way your nose will get some of that action too keeping away from the corona. 🤟🏼

[@Nelsontron1]

Sandbags or Kettlebells will do the job. Don't take any chances. Avoid lawsuits. Cool photoshoot.

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Nelson Cintron sandbags are messy, they break bust, etc. kettle bell is the way to go

She is too distracted by her own FaceTime to focus on the task at hand. It's like telling a kid not to bring his toys to the dinner table. Ijs.

[@GNOBNX]

REAL RAP!✊🏾🔱

[@Niikolaii]

Cool Video, by what got my attention, you always use ISO 50 in every Video, why that? ISO 50 on Sony make no sense, 'cause not native ISO you loose DR and ISO 50 has no benefits to 100.

[@BrandonColePhotography]

You dont loose DR. Its still 1/3 stop below 100. Thats how sony cameras are so it does have a benefit to loosen that extra stop of light if you need

[@janceskiphotography]

Like For Sony
