HOW TO POSE 101 / Feel Less Awk in Pics

This is for the peeps who either hate posing for pics, don't know how, or just want a few ideas when snapping photos! It definitely didn't come natural to me and it took a good bit of practice, so hopefully this helps someone who's wanting to feel a bit more comfortable around the camera!
There's tons of cool pose ideas out there but if you can reference some of these, then you're at a great start. Should I make a part 2??

Dang this was actually so so helpful - you have so many ideas, I do cheerleader for every pic 😂 thank you!

[@utran88]

When she said hand on your hip, I thought, "Oh! My go to pose!" Then she said downward, not like a cheerleader...I thought, "oh shhhhtt"

[@crownofhair]

Your personality is so cute and fun! I love how straightforward you are with the explanations, and when you model it's very fluid and natural looking. The humor mixed in was the icing on the cake. Well done girl!

Are you her photographer? You can tell her what poses to do

[@tjgadner8896]

@@shannensantonja8673 I’m no photographer, but I definitely take lots of pictures of her!

[@kaylahevans8334]

So you can guide her through poses or make suggestions when you’re taking her picture.

[@SeongkuanWang]

Best BF ever LMAO

[@TheEtherny]

You're the one looking into a camera and can tell her when she's not making angles or something lol

[@spacedoutbabyy]

I have crazy anxiety when people want to take photos of me.. but since I got a boyfriend recently, he always wants to take pictures of me. This video helped me so so so much. Thank you! This video was awesome! And I love how real you were being in the video, you didn’t seem like you were trying to impress. It felt more like you were relating with females (or others) that genuinely wanted/needed advice as a complete amateur (which you obviously aren’t), so that was very helpful as well! Thanks! I can’t wait for my next date to get all dressed up ready for my boyfriend to take photos!

[@bellaliguori8431]

Make a video of poses with Dylan! My boyfriend needs it 🤠

[@izzy12285]

Yessss Everytime someone wants to take a pic of me and my hubby he will wrap his entire arm around my neck and my hair looks like a bob and I look all weird while he looks great 🤣

[@BostonBarbieDoll]

Great Tips! Love The Jeans You Are Wearing In This Vid. I'm 5-8, These Look Like They Would Be Perfect For Me. Brand & Style ? Thank Youu In Advance! -xx's

@@izzy12285 seriously mine is the same! I try to tell him he looks like he is prepping to give me noogie and that isn't flattering but he's just flying by the seat of his pants having a good time and never remembers 😆🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

[@xowdavis]

"dont be weird" lmao. this was such a helpful video, ty hannah 😘 i feel like the face is really tough though. especially if you have an emotive face, fear/anxiety/nervousness comes through even with a smile. i guess you have to channel a certain mood. p.s. you speak SO confidently on this topic and its great! love the authority

[@katelouise7221]

I loved how chill this whole video was!!

[@kaylabruner1045]

Hannah blessed us all for hot girl summer

[@TheFashionRunUp]

My favorite poses are the sitting ones. Like you said, because everything is closer to the camera. Also, any pose adding an 'in the moment' element! Love this concept and excited to play with it!

[@saranyasevda1412]

[@johnybrokeit]

That was excellent, thank you. My buddies r hot but can't pose for nuts! Not sure if it's a complex or what.. Keep going back to one pose like a block of lifelessness like u showed us a couple times. These r simple what u showed us but maybe they need to be in the mood or something.. I'm trying to cheer them up sometimes with better photos of themselves but it's taking time :) My neighbour is a software engineeeer (uuuuuu! Haha) and so many times all I did was ask her to chill a bit or do this or that, and the smile on her face when she sees the photo haha, worth the effort! Not sure why her smart brain can't seem to work out a pose or two lol. These r excellent. Thanks again for showing me how simple it is, they're so subtle these ideas. Peace :)

I’m definitely going to try to remember all these tips for the future. Thank you for sharing!
