My main problem is that my friends/family don't even give me time to pose!! They just freaking take the pic right away and it ends up looking awful lol.

[@CaptainSuzySparrow]

Ugh, sounds annoying. I get that happening to me, but with my friends. Please tell them, like say "hold on!" looking down, then pose, finally looking back at them with your good side.

[@marisolgarcia3123]

[@maysaswisi4851]

the sad part is when you're always the photographer and when you want someone to do the same with u you find no one. that's when u feel unwanted, unloved and uninteristing.

The model is a photographer so she knows how to pose because she tells models how to pose.

[@smaxrob]

That's how it's supposed to appear. She is photographed often, depsite being a photographer and "not a model". She shouldn't have said that honestly, because she has her photo taken more often than the average perosn.

[@Billythachikk]

The most useful part of this video was that your model/photographer had the exact same facial expression in ALL the shots, so there was no doubt about the fact that things looked better or worse because of posing - face was the same, so it had to be the rest, that was such a good way to go about it!

[@gillesmatheronpro]

Point proven : you do not have to be a "model" to be a model... and strike all the right poses. Sure, Irene knows a thing or two about posing (via directing models), but all it takes is mutual understanding and care and awareness. Great job Ladies !

[@evaggeliamy]

Those tips were great indeed,but what about the people who don't look good in photographs,who are not photogenic?

[@marie-nm9jo]

evangeliamy it all about finding the most flattering angle and lighting for your face. Everyone’s face is different so just play around with different angles in the mirror or on your phone and see where you look best

[@Joynersisters]

something that I think always helps is to make sure to relax, especially relax the eyes!

[@irinamihaela287]

-tell your model constantly if they are posing good/bad and how they can improve -don't tell them to smile, smile yourself or tell funny stories Edit: wow thank you guys for over 100 likes I didn't expect that😘🤗

[@heni892]

Best advises

[@Iv1309]

- don't tell them ahead that if you want your model to look sad you mention dead cats. A person who used to be a friend and photograph me once told me. So when he mentioned dead cats during the shoot instead of looking sad I completely burst into laughter. Wasn't the desired effect yet still gave some very awesome pictures.

[@irinamihaela287]

@@Iv1309 no, I don't do that =)) I will be angry and I would leave if someone told me about dead cats

[@gaamejaam6901]

I wish i could pose for you, my self esteem would go to the sky with you saying "beautiful", "gorgeous"

[@john2000l]

I have been watching Irene for several years, and her photographic talent is outstanding. While I photograph people, I was never a model, so I have to try and be intuitive about what I am asking of a model during the session. Irene gets a really fantastic chance to "be" the model, and she will feel better about posing them going forward. Excellent job Irene and Anita.

[@AP-jg1mh]

I love how instinctively the model knew what to do, she seemed so comfortable. And she’s very beautiful.

[@annaheart7731]

Especially her very feminin body

[@victoriali7118]

Irene is a photographer herself and she works with a lot of models so she’s probably very familiar with different poses. But I agree, she’s gorgeous!

Personally I think those candid smiley and a little awkward photos are more endearing than posed ones. Naturally happy pics are so rare these days - bring back the smiles and the normality - even if it's not perfect. Xx

[@doloresb.1175]

Yes, i've thought the same + people like this are looking ridiculous to rhe rest, all around in terraces, beaches... specially in sommer.

[@samy7342]

A lot of the smiles in photos are real, if not, they'd look -awkward-

[@jackmasham5990]

Love the tips. Can you do the same tutorial on a person who is a lot larger, and who has no experience with either posing models or modelling???

[@reoflex]

Of course she could, but nobody would watch it.

You can follow the same instructions, still applies

The tips are about elongating the body more and highlighting curves, the results are not exactly the same but still gives the same illusion and you got to have confidence
