"Waiting for the bus with a migraine"... totally using that then next time I ask my husband model a sweater I knit for him! 😂💖

[@juliatrotti]

Haha the migraine pose is so versatile - sitting with a migraine, leaning with a migraine, standing with a migraine, the list just keeps going 😂

[@anna_murawski]

Yessss more Male posing videos please! 🙏

[@juliatrotti]

We will work on it! 😄

[@thirdeyereptiles1772]

Agreed!

[@nadantagaming2276]

@@juliatrotti Wouldn't mind more like these! ❤ 'Waiting for the Taxi' next one maybe? 😄

[@MikeMena]

This was VERY HELPFUL! I think it would be cool to have entire videos on very specific scenarios like “posing non-models sitting on different kinds of chairs” or “posing non-models on against walls”, like “5 easiest poses for non models using a prop”.

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks so much! And yess I will definitely work on more posing videos soon 💛

This makes me love Dan even more! His humor is everything! Also obsessed with you as a couple

I love these videos! I’m making an effort to improve my portrait photography, and learning to pose people has been my greatest challenge.

[@xtoffoto4628]

Thanks Julia for making this video! It's straigh up to the point and no fuss! These tips are invaluable and one thing that I did learn was to be generous with clicking the shutter! How you direct the model is also insightful and will hopefully be able to apply this learning in my work 🙌🏽

[@th461]

Really helpful video. Yes, you can definitely do more videos like this because your videos really help to become a better photographer. Dan, thank you for you too!

[@TomMaxwell756]

Thanks for the tips. I love that you're rapid shooting. That's what I do. One time I took 1500 shots in a 4 hour shoot with a guy.

[@callmehank1662]

Great video, thanks Julia. I would love to see something similar for men, but based around a more industrial or trade based aesthetic. Pose a plumber, a concreter...a fireman!

Thank you Julia awesome tips, that migraine and the lying on the ground with hand stretched out fav

[@JulieElmes]

Thank you Julia. Really enjoyed this and learned a lot

[@panashegivemore1191]

I have only recently started portrait photography. I have convinced a few male friends willing to model for me but are as novices as myself. Researching there is tonnes and tonnes of female photography lessons but only found you content so relevant to me. Thank you. Keep them rolling please 😀

[@AtomicPixel]

Solid tips! Just a simple pacing is so effective and the waiting for the bus is gold. haha Thanks!

[@jonathandavis8503]

The one with glasses on, hand looking another way, and the sunglasses painting another scene was awesome. That is a trick I will use.

This is excellent - thanks so much!

This was really fun to watch. Dan is really playful. I loved the setting and this video did really help with learning how to pose men who are not models. I hope to see more like this! Thank you Julia!

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you!! I'm glad you liked it 😊

[@kellih4237]

I loved the laying down shot with his hand behind his head and the other hand out towards the camera. I have a senior male session coming up and I'd like to give that one a try!

[@helgiforest]

Very good! Thank you so much

[@cooloox]

Great video with some nice ideas. I love the way you moved around and turned one pose into many shots. Dan was fun and injected some humour into the video too.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidjames4545]

This was such a beautiful and heartwarming video! From the amazing autumn leaves scenery to the wonderful (and funny) model! 😆Certainly looking forward to more photoshoot tips for male subjects!

[@paulojaime5425]

Thanks for this Julia. i love how you connect with your male not model. Me, as a male photographer is really awkward to shoot men and how to ask them what should they do and how should they pose on camera. I'll apply this with my awkward male friends. looking forward for more tutorials like this,

[@lisawilliams1750]

Dan is an awesome model! More Dan Sessions!!

Hey Julia, that is really great! I am having the problem that I am asked to do portraits of families and I would love to see a video about how to do portraits of a group of people. :-)

Hi Which is best camera to buy for wedding photography &videography Sony a7iii or Sony a7riii ?? Thank you 😊 in advance

[@amysaemisch7171]

Love all the poses! I just want to know one thing!!! How do you get such sharp photos shooting live view with the camera moving around so much??? It seems you shoot this way alot! Do you do any sharpening in post production and do you always shoot in Continuous Mode? I just breathe and my photos are blurry-ugh!!!

[@Andyboim]

Very Inspirative Julia! I hope I can use this trick, then I’ll upload it on My Channel soon! ;)

[@rishavraj1456]

We would like to see more of these

[@AsianGargamel]

This video really inspires me to drag my boyfriend in front of my lense. Of course I find him so handsome, but I felt like he’s uncomfortable having his pictures taken, so I try to find failproof poses to boost not only his confidence but also mine as a photographer. Thanks for sharing these tips

[@FacebookQueen]

I completely understand ❤️ My boyfriend has long curly hair right now that I desperately want to take photos of before he cuts it 😂 he’s inspired by Robert Plant by Zed Zeppelin so here’s to hoping I get some musician shots 😊

[@thedondeluxe6941]

This is very useful for an awkward male photographer😄

[@stefanusadrian8398]

Great tutorial! Thanks Could you do self portrait techniques and poses tutorial? It would be great

[@juliatrotti]

Thanks so much! I have a few self portrait videos up on my channel already in case you haven't seen those, but I do have some new ideas that I want to film soon too.

[@ancogamer]

Thanks for the help, now I can change my profile pic more often

[@Ando_Kurohige]

Great video! That shot with his hand stretched out was 🔥🔥🔥. Your video made me want to go out and shoot some portraits now lol.

[@cooloox]

Nooooooo 😂 I loved every pose but that one. What does it even mean? Everyone is doing this lately and why? Blurred distracting object taking away from the subject of the shot. Some shots of this type look like someone is going down with the Titanic and reaching out as if to say, "please help me", before they get sucked under the icy water and drown.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you so much!

[@juliatrotti]

Hahah there's something in there for everyone, photography, posing, etc is subjective ;)

[@MoenA2212]

Such a great video! I will definitely try this out with my fiancé, he’s so stiff in front of the camera 😃

[@Morespizzle]

Great as always! Another video idea is how to pose men who are ecto vs meso vs endomorph (didn't want to use the other terms). I would say Dan is on the easier side to pose since he's ectomorph. Which is what you would typically see in a model. When you showed the poses of him leaning against the tree with one arm out or sitting on the ground with his arms crossing the triangles are more pronounced whereas an individual with an average build or mesomorph body type, these angles would come across as uncomfortable and sometimes unflattering. Nonetheless I think you inspired many to get out and shoot and maybe others will come up with poses that will work for those other individuals.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you and I'd love to get more people involved in videos like this, it's a little hard to find non-models who are willing to pose for a channel with a large audience, but I will find someone :) Last time I photographed Karol who is very muscular, so I wanted to change it up for this time. I will change it up again for next time 💛

[@papanpal3208]

Another interesting video mam. Have a great day. Stay safe. Love from India.

[@juliatrotti]

Thank you! I hope you're staying safe

[@katerinakozhevnikova7459]

Yes please, want to see more:) I also have one problem: tall men. You touched upon this challenge in this video, but I'd like to know more tricks. I have a 100% crop and a 35mm prime lens, and it does get tricky with tall men photo shoots

[@thirdeyereptiles1772]

I'd love to see another male photo shoot! I find it so difficult for portraits because they don't usually have long hair to play with or many accessories. I've been binge watching your channel since last week & have learned so much!!!

[@juliatrotti]

I will work on more videos like this soon :)

[@pascaldepree3008]

Just curious about where this location is, because I've been trying to find new locations to shoot at in sydney but haven't had a chance due to covid. Thanks.

[@Adriana.Gabriela]

Just in time! I have a branding session swap coming up with a (male) colleague, and I don't really know how to pose solo men. I've done it only once so far (not including classic groom poses). Thanks!

[@KirilVarbanov]

Great video. I'd add: give the man something to play with: a leaf, branch, anything that might add some dynamics to the image.

[@mohamedjabali1587]

What are the camera settings?

[@unabyband1263]

Great and inspiring video, thanks a lot Julia! I guess, you could try to shoot Dan portraits on wide angle, maybe even on a fisheye lens, why not? 😏

I this lense ideal for a family photoshoot as well? Can you recommend or do a video for a family photo session?

Yes I do family shoots mostly on a 35 because it’s great for group shots and moving subjects. I also bring an 85 for some solo shots too

Are you using back button focus? I can’t tell in the vid. Lol. Great vid!! 🔥

[@juliatrotti]

I've never been able to get used to BBF for some reason, always just used the shutter!

[@aleksandrk9703]

Why are you using such a wide lens? Would not a 50mm or 85mm make more sense? Both from point of view of adding distance between you and subject and also to make the proportions more natural.
