How to Pose MALES who are NOT Models!

You guys have been asking me for this video for ages and I'm so excited it's finally here! Here are some tips on how I pose males who are not models for photoshoots - these posing tips are great for general portrait sessions, groom portraits at a wedding, engagement shoots and senior portraits. A big thank you to Karol for helping me create this, he did a great job for his very first photoshoot :D
I used my L.A. Lightroom Preset to edit all the photos: www.digitalfilmactions.com/li... As I wanted them to look quite natural with some high contrast.
Let me know if you want me to make a part 2!

[@ramtinrezaniya1848]

I do not know how to express it, I do it this way: After 31 years of living in the modern world and thinking posing is not a choice for me at all :))) I decided to see at least one video and see what happens. I love it the way you have explained. this is the first 4 minutes learning anything from this category. And I just say it was brilliant. Thanks Thanks Thanks

it's so cool to see how the model kinda opens up further into the photoshoot and it really shows how he feels more free, natural and that he enjoys himself. so pleasant to see!

You made him feel relax so for him posing was natural. He didn't look awkward or feel uncomfortable on front of the camera. Good job Julia.

Might not be pro model but he's photogenic. That makes it super easy. Try it with regular people.

[@ReasonableRadio]

idk he looks worse in the video than the pictures, there's definitely an effect of the guidance

[@tinki2856]

Actually only about 1-5% is "not photogenic" Most people are just uncomfortable with taking photos If you comfort them while taking the photo, most people will be "photogenic" as well

Who ARE NOT models? Do this with people who CAN NOT be models. This dude is freaking gorgeous already.

I use these techniques every weekend when photographing weddings. It doesn't matter what someone looks like, their body shape, etc, by making them feel comfortable you can take a nice photo of anyone :)

[@markjanssens1658]

@WingsOfTruth You are a person with ONE opinion. The guy in the video is GREAT looking. Body, face, smile, he has it all. You only have one opinion and people have out-voted you. Noah Mills and Sean O'pry are hot male models but this guy is hot in a different way. Some people like nordic features, some like eastern european or darker. Different types for different folks. You may not be into this guy but clearly hundreds and thousands of people like him

[@ama8in911]

Welcome to the world of clickbait

[@JaaEfka]

@WingsOfTruth he is not average - he is handsome. and the fact that he has more muscle than the average guy is just an additional plus.

This singular video (vs the internet) opened my eyes to what the photographer wants to see vs what the subject thinks they should see and how to coax the subject into submission without them knowing it! BRILLIANT!

People often confuses the word MODEL as beautiful. Is not the case. This guy for example, is quite handsome but he’s not a model. Is not about the looks, it’s about the attitude, the pose, know how to improve your best angles, knowing your body and all that. As a photographer, I always say is a 50/50 work to make a good photoshoot.
