How To Pose People Who Are NOT MODELS *Top 10 Pose Ideas From a Photographer*

[@LizziePeirce]

What other posing content do you want to see more of? You guys keep asking for these videos, and we love making them!

[@GabrielMendozaph]

Could you perhaps consider making a video about how to pose a couple that have no experience? I would also like to see a video on how to take better headshots/social media profile pictures!

[@DeepanjalArtwork]

This type of video is really have a lot of stuff to learn and thanks a lot for creating such kind of Content. Need more video on lighting setup

[@TolarRay]

would love to see camera settings with photos!

[@amaandhamaskar]

Could You Do A Renewed One For Guys As Well ?

[@amaandhamaskar]

@@GabrielMendozaph Strongly Agree !

[@johnwaine56]

So tired of seeing videos and training course on portraiture where they use a professional model. This is the clearest instruction video on posing I've ever seen and has given me renewed confidence to keep trying at portraiture. Your technique is moving a little towards documentary style and produces lovely relaxed contemporary results. Thank you so much

[@Thepankaz1]

but they look like models, so doesnt matter much.

[@allanaramaa]

Wow thank u for turning me into a model, adding to my resume!!!! Merci!!!! You are a dream woman!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨✨

[@RUBBERSOULED]

omg HI ALLANA. didn't expect to see you here!

[@LizziePeirce]

Thank you for being the best non-model model a girl could ask for! 😂

[@PawanKamrani]

👍

[@tedupl]

and that's a dream tutorial. one of the best I've seen in this subject so far

[@savy.katter]

You’re a natural!! You absolutely killed it!

[@HollyObee]

Love the pose names haha "she's shy" and "she's effortless" are my favs hahah

[@LizziePeirce]

tanks hollyyyyy

[@rebekahdunavan7587]

Thank you for the ideas. I’m a high school yearbook teacher. Every year I take senior photos for those that can’t afford them and then print and frame a few for the student. This definitely helps me work with a student model.

[@lisz6728]

I loved the video!!

[@Kate_Med_21]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Just remember, even non-models can strike a pose like a pro with a little guidance and a lot of confidence! 😄

[@IzHarris]

gahhh I just learned so much, now I need to get johnny to photograph me!

[@bala1000mina]

Thank you so much Lizzie for the informative and helpful tutorial! God bless and good luck!

[@dorean_fotografos]

Lizzie, great ideas, awesome model, thank you

[@byte4068]

Honestly probably some of the best posing advice I've gotten and explained so clearly, definitely going to use this on my next shoot, awesome video!

[@nikonlinevids]

Thank you Thank you thank you. I've been waiting for a video like this for years. Cant believe I just now run into your channel. Great stuff! More please.

[@jameseustace6782]

I used a lot of these on a shoot and the model said she thought I was new to doing shoots like this but figured I had been doing it for a while. Thanks for helping me fake it till I make it :)

[@simonmaduxx6777]

So nice to see a video with tips that the photographers face is not stuffed in the camera. Viewers are here for the content and that's what this is and it's awesome. Shoot a lot of non-professional models this will definitely be helpful. Thank you. Saved!

[@AmandaWeldon]

This is the dream collab! Just to fierce women making moves! Loved these tips Lizzie & Allana!

[@nhyiraholiver3308]

Lizzie, i cant thank you enough. This is the best posing video ive ever seen!!!

[@WolfQuantum]

Great stuff. Only one thing that I was taught back in the film days as a portrait photographer and still bugs me. When doing the hand on the chin have the subject turn the hand to the thin side instead of broadside. That big skin area on a broadside hand pulls attention from the face. Depending on the focal length you are using it can really pull. I noticed it on the one shot of Alanna. Her hand appeared almost as big as her face in shot and was the foreground item. Other than that everything was great. Simple, easy and relaxed for the model yet still provided opportunity for a variety of shots. Thanks.

[@leapfandler1608]

This is SO helpful!!! Thank you so much!!

[@SuperKicka]

a genuine video and you're both very good looking and very down to earth

[@jaquelineazevedo7367]

Incredible useful tips!!! I’m sure I’ll use every single one of them BUT the high shutter speed. I agree it’s important to keep your images sharp, however, it’s also important to keep the photoshoot dynamic. Lowering your shutter speed creates blurry images but if captured well, they transmit an intense feeling of movement and a certain “grace” to the model and the images.

[@AR-ly5zt]

Different photographers, different styles ;)

[@queeniepennington9501]

@@AR-ly5zt Agreed 😊 Different Photographers Different Approach

[@dbsouza1]

Great video and the energy between the both of you was very refreshing to watch

[@tjerkheringa937]

This is a great video. I shoot a lot of portraits for a patients magazine. This is great inspiration

[@luisdavidazocarmarquez3163]

You have no idea how much you helped me... i love you!!

[@hisgurkness4338]

these photos are soooo amazing!!

[@Allexandra04]

Great! I have the poses, now I need a good photographer 😂😂🤩

[@bobbykryan]

This is perfect, I have a shoot coming up this weekend and had no idea how to approach the non models haha

[@Kate_Med_21]

Haha, glad I could help out! Just remember, non-models are like unicorns - they may be a little camera shy, but with the right poses, they can shine like superstars! Good luck with your shoot!

[@huiedinwiddie7294]

YEESSS!!! Thank you so much!! Short...simple...not over-complicated tutorial. Thank you so very much. I shared it with my photography buddies.

[@AnaGoldOff]

Thank you for the video, I had this idea that I just should photoshoot with more "cute" outfit but her clothes gives me more confidence with my self and my style. The tips are great too!

[@arianator5358]

All poses are lit😍🔥 I truly appreciate it❤

[@beeldenvanbelle318]

Love it! How do you find locations like this or is this your studio?

[@catalinaurhan6727]

This is such a useful video. Can’t wait to try these out!

[@nathanmountainproductions]

This is awesome! Could you do one for male non models please because it is definitely needed in my work 😁

[@wmshannahan]

This the first video of yours I've seen and I like it . The studio space looks great too.

[@lisalouisekeen4191]

Fabric video. Been looking for something like this. More for myself. Good behind the camera not so great in front lol.

[@MolliRibak]

Thank you so much

[@HOGG1Photography]

This was great!!! you both are beautiful, and shots came out crazy good!

[@SilviaTeleman]

This video was really useful ..will definitely apply some of the tips 🙌

[@jayymorris5285]

Ive been blessed by having models who pretty much know their good angles and usually all I have to do is tell them what I envision and they make it happen. However, this well ran dry when I had a model with absolute NO IDEA how to pose and there was me, the photographer, with no idea how to pose her. I kept giving her general ideas but she simply wasn't able to grasp it. I'm definitely trying to learn how to actually pose models in the instance that they don't know their right from their left.

[@bipbong2906]

Great vid! The point about movement always looking better is great

[@maureenmc1]

WOW great ideas. I will be using these with my granddaughter. Thank you

[@anotherperson6942]

This was incredibly HELPFUL OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH I’m a beginner photographer and one of the most awkward things for me was posing the “models” through the shoot so this was so helpful

[@TheBigDaddyClub]

the subject is simply amazing. love her energy..

[@adranemeyer1220]

You literally make it looks so easy Lizzie

[@truthscollector]

What a cute model ...! What a nice location ....! What for low level poses .....

[@dyanissamuel8329]

Super helpful!!!

Super easy to understand and very helpful! Thanks a lot!

So fun to watch!

[@RWAquariumPages]

amazing video and great tips, going to give these a try on my wife and kids, thanks for this video!

[@JackTls]

Wow this is the most practical tutorial I've seen so far. Couple this video with Julia Trotti's who talks more about how to interact with the person and you have all the elements you need!

[@Argentarius11]

These are so creative and not the sort of thing people would get from J C Penney portrait mill. I'm impressed and will try all of them.

[@themarkanthony]

Very useful info! Thank you for this video!

[@victorvaqueroraposo7779]

This videos adds a lot of value for the amateur photgrapher's community

[@Marys-Channel]

This ordinary, everyday non-supermodel thanks you. I need all the I can get. 🦋

[@AnaGeorgescuArt]

Super useful video! Loved it! 😃

[@diaryofjose8403]

2 years later still refer to this video before a shoot with a non professional model. Great job!

[@CamilleHarris]

So good!! Thank you!! Modeling for photoshoots is one of my next areas of study!! You’re the 2nd video I’ve watched on my journey 😁

[@keti.rg.editzzz]

Hey Lizzie!!! I'm Literally the first one... Yay!!!! Btw Love to You and Chris from India

[@queeniepennington9501]

Thank you thank you thank you for this video. I love the poses, model is stunning, your stunning and really great tips.

[@hurleygreen927]

Great video! Your model looked VERY professional to me! LOL You have some excellent posing advice... 🙂

[@BrendaOmoregie]

Needed this!. I have no clue how to pose.

[@sslanguage]

1:52 walk the walk. 2:24 pose number 3. she's effortless. 2:50 posing tip 4. zhuzh the hair. similar to the last pose, 3:16 the thinker. while the model is sitting, get them to place one elbow on a knee and sit forward a bit to supper their chin with that same hand

[@valmomstertv]

What is the antennae-like thing that you have attached to your camera for a lot of this video?

[@JohnBogna]

Came here to see if anyone else asked this. I wanna know too! I'm guessing it's to record her camera's LCD screen?

[@CharisNora]

I absolutely love this ❤️💯

[@modernmusicstudio303]

Super great tips for everyone! Thanks for sharing

[@MDMUSTAFA-bd1mi]

Simply Great content, after watching the video I clicked like button and then subscribed 🐰

[@lpark8]

Great video. Thank you! When you say you use high shutter speed for this kind of shoot what do you consider a minimum?

[@SarahJonestoo]

Lizzie! This. Is. Gold. Wow - great job (and thank you; I always freeze in front of a stills camera and this will help me a lot).

[@nilosan]

Great video Lizz S2

[@ronacosta4430]

Nice job. Those were some really good tips.

[@jessestarks3128]

Great presentation Ms. Pierce!

[@linawendel901]

Wow great video and photos! One question, how did you find that location/room? Amazing with the lights from the window and clean simple background!

[@huffbrau]

This was very helpful! Thanks...

[@abchappell01]

That looks really helpful video presentation. Thank you very much 😊 Will the same type of pokes apply to a male photo subject?

[@jedi_mario]

I loved this video. So much value!!!! You earned a new subscriber!!

[@leapfandler1608]

LOVE this video!! Thanks so much for sharing! What presets did you use to edit the photos? I love the edit and color grading on these!

[@CaitlinImbimbo]

I love the way you describe these poses!! It’s much easier to understand than other posing videos

[@cathyaudia8792]

You reference using a high shutter speed a few times. What specifically do u think this is for say a 50mm prime? Do u follow the typical formula, double the focal length?

[@imgmd1977]

I have the same question. Wish she'd answered yours.

[@ArcanePath360]

Helps if you have a beautiful set with great natural lighting and gorgeous model who would look good no matter what.

[@juliachristine2320]

Love this! So helpful.

[@chanelle.n]

Thanks ladies! This video was helpful ❤️

[@daniaalberto1980]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!! As an amateur photographer, this helped me big time time for posing ideas 💖

[@47MTCLLC]

Great video, thanks. Was that a CamRanger on top of the camera for wireless tethering? thanks

[@AniqaL-z5i]

What camera are you using for these and lens? Would you be able to specify exactly? X

[@annettesquires8281]

Lizzie you are inspiring. I am so much older than you but I find myself wanting to do most of the things you do. I am curious how you get to work for so many different people. You do it all. It’s not only photos but voice overs, singing, video. It’s all of it and you could be the model in your own pictures. How do you get where you’ve been?

[@lonnieclemens8028]

An excellent video! Thank you for the ideas.

[@MauriaMooreMedia]

Thanks for this Lizzie. I hit a brick wall and need inspo. This helps a lot.

[@SusanneGeert]

Great video! I would love to get tips on how to photography people that might have some body issues like overweight women for instance The typical poses don't always work very well here 🌱
