HOW TO POSE Clients for Portrait Photoshoots

[@juliatrotti]

If you enjoyed this video, I just shared a video on How to Pose Couples for Photos which you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX20dYh7ocdnmdE Thank you for watching!

[@thatcheesysongwriter]

I literally have my very first shoot with a client that isn't someone I know personally, so I've been nervous about how to direct her, so this video came just in time! So great! I'm hoping I remember these tips, LOL! :D

[@juliatrotti]

Good luck on your photoshoot and I'm glad I was able to help! I have 2 more videos on my channel about posing in case you haven't seen those yet 😊

[@onlychuy]

I’ve been wanting to shoot clients, how it go .? Any tips ?

[@jase7231]

How did it go?!

[@TimXMan1000]

I hope you have great luck I have a photo shoot today but I’m not great at posing women

[@MichauxJHyatt]

It's always a godsend to watch these sorts of videos as it is still a major weakness of mine that I'll eventually be comfortable with.

[@ag2810]

Your content as a photographer is great, and phenomenal as far as KZbin videos go. I appreciate finding a creator who actually showcases their craft, and works with a dedicated team. Go you and everybody behind camera... Learning from each video, while enjoying them too!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much!

[@saraayala2846]

She's gorgeous!! This looked like such a fun photoshoot

[@MG.Fishing]

I almost feel guilty that I have an opportunity to watch this kind of content for free. Thank you, Julia! These kinds of videos with posing and composition tips are absolutely brilliant!

Totally agreed! She's always like sunshine in the morning. 🙂

[@StellarJayEnthusiast]

Considering it's advised by KZbin as one of the best ways to engage your audience at the start of a video. I'd say it's not just you. It's a good sign of a professional who can recognize the importance of following algorithmic data.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much!

[@dorozina]

7:40 ... use of walls, fences, street lights, in general anything that the model can lean or sit on, or interact in any way, helps a lot. You go from "I have no idea what to do with myself" to situation which is known and safe, and takes model mind from "shit I'm being photographed" to performing some simple tasks :D

[@juliatrotti]

Haha I completely agree, standing out in the middle of nowhere with nothing to lean on/sit on/hold can feel very awkward so I love using my surroundings to help people feel more comfortable!

Wow, your videos are all so helpful! Thank you so much! I have a question about your lightroom presets. I bought one of them as somehow I can't use the intensity regulator in lightroom.

6:57 ... arms create a beautiful triangle, closing the composition from the bottom

[@narlenga]

Your tips on posing is really great! I especially appreciate your videos about posing "non models". However, in this video, and also in other videos, I find the poses work great for pretty young girls and fashion style photography. But, what if your model is a older person, say in her 40s or 50s? (Many of my friends are ;)) I guess that would require more natural and calmer poses. I would love to see how you would direct and pose her.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much! And yes I agree, that the posing I do is more suited for younger clients and you could do similar with a more mature subject and just tone it all down and bring it back a little. I think with these videos I show that creating movement with your subject is key in making them feel comfortable and creating natural looking poses for your photoshoots regardless of age, rather than finding a pose online and getting them to copy it with which a non-model usually ends up looking quite stiff and unnatural! Thanks for the suggestion though, I will see if I can make a video about this :)

[@narlenga]

@@juliatrotti Thank you for the advice. I will bear those tips in mind! Looking forward to more posing videos. I find aperture, focus, bokeh and all is comparily easy to master :)

[@ehtesham_digital]

Hi Julia. Hope you are doing well as always. Thank you for sharing all these awesome contents. I've been following you for quite a while. You works are really amazing. I love your interesting angles, color grading and without any doubt beautiful models. So, I tried to analyze very closely and figure out what makes your photos so great. Finally realized something. Your cropping (before and after taking the photo) makes the photos standout. I know it comes naturally after years of shooting. However, I would love to see a dedicated video based on cropping techniques/angles; things that you think matter. Say hi to Den. You are amazing. Thanks in advance.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much and thanks for the suggestion! A video about composition in my portraits is something that I always get asked about so I would love to work on that :)

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks so much!

[@EnricoCaleffi]

Hi Julia, first of all I want to congratulate for the quality stuff you publish. Keep posting such great video! I would like to ask you a technical question: it seems to me that the unedited images are a little underexposed. Is this done intentionally to avoid blown out details? I'm learning portrait photography and if I'd set up the camera, I would have compensated the exposure a stop or two higher. If you could share this information, it could help me understand your technique and learn something from a professional. The final results are simply great, however! ;-)

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! Yes I usually like to underexpose my images slightly for 2 reasons. The first one is I just personally like editing from a darker photo and pushing the shadows + exposure up, I especially like doing this around blue hour in the last set of photos against the white fence with the jasmine flowers, I'm not sure how to explain/word it properly but it almost gives me a flatter looking image when I push the exposure up in post that I find looks really pleasing. The main reason though it that I am usually exposing for the brightest part of the image to make sure nothing is over (as much as I can without underexposing everything else too much - so a balance between the two). I find saving the shadows is a lot easier to do with my raws that saving blown out spots in photos. For example in the first set I was exposing for the white top which would have been blown out if I had exposed for her face or more of the background instead. Then when we were shooting against the shorter fence with the tilting your head tip, I was exposing for the brightest part of her skin that the light was hitting to make sure there would still be texture/detail in that area when I went to edit the photos. I hope that helps!

[@EnricoCaleffi]

@@juliatrotti it does help a lot! I agree with your considerations and looking again at the video keeping this in mind makes a big difference. I always struggle to tradeoff between the face and background exposure and I like a lot your approach. I will keep your answer as a reference for my future sessions (expecially for my daughter portraits ;-) ). I must admit I wasn't expecting such a detailed and complete answer. I really appreciate it, and this confirms how much you love photography and your work. Thanks a lot! Keep working like this.
