How to Pose and Photograph Guys who are Not Models

Posing and photographing guys is such a difficult task. They’re way less flexible, way more awkward, and just spend less time “posing”, in general. I hope this quick guide helps inspire some good pictures with your guy friends who are not models!

Time to stop putting my hands in my pockets and looking sideways 👌

OMG JONATHAN OGDEN I LOVE YOUR MUSIIIIC

[@Supremo_C26]

that's also my go to 😂

[@rawrimanasian]

I love how this isn’t just information thrown at you in a lecture style way. Your personality really shows in the quirky between bits and makes the video so much more fun :)

[@bhayford6676]

“to like, aCcEnTUaTe that even more” haha, it’s the little things that get me. I am definitely going to be using some of these poses though. Thanks!

[@whoschrischu]

I honestly don’t know why I said it like that...but it happened

[@stephenscrivens]

"Make the guy look hard" 😂 I completely get the point but it's pretty much impossible not to laugh at that. These are all great tips that I will definitely be using.

[@aayobruv]

This is honestly a great video topic. I have an eye for taking portraits and know what photos of people's faces can look good, however when it comes to trusting someone to do the same for me it never works out. You always need the right angles, lighting, clothing, backgrounds etc. Of course I am not photogenic and my face tends to tense up, but I believe anyone can have model like photos taken given the person taking your photo knows what they're doing.

[@goldwinreyes]

@@whoschrischu No idea why I got the notifaction now¿... BUT... I'll make sure to get it done.

[@hanindityatribuana7120]

i tried taking pictures of my guy friend the other day and it was super hard ngl. i'm planning on meeting my online friend after corona to take some shoots of him. wml ✌

[@whoschrischu]

Most guys are pretty awkward and stuff in front of the camera, so I toootally understand. Just be super confident when you’re posing them and I think they’ll establish that trust with you quicker than you think

[@hanindityatribuana7120]
