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 !

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@dorean_fotografos]

Lizzie, great ideas, awesome model, thank you

[@lisz6728]

I loved the video!!

[@bala1000mina]

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

[@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.

[@beeldenvanbelle318]

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

[@leapfandler1608]

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

[@IzHarris]

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

[@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

[@MolliRibak]

Thank you so much

[@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 😁

[@AmandaWeldon]

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

[@bobbykryan]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@dyanissamuel8329]

Super helpful!!!

[@dbsouza1]

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

[@themarkanthony]

Very useful info! Thank you for this video!

[@nhyiraholiver3308]

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

[@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!

[@huiedinwiddie7294]

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

[@hisgurkness4338]

[@HOGG1Photography]

[@arianator5358]

All poses are lit😍🔥 I truly appreciate it❤

[@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 :)

[@viktoriatihhina3166]

[@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!

[@shiftourwayscollective]

So fun to watch!

[@leapfandler1608]

Nice job. Those were some really good tips.

[@jedi_mario]

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

[@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

[@NicolasOttawa]

Thank you Lizzie. Super helpful!

[@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 🌱

[@abchappell01]

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

[@daniaalberto1980]

[@3girlsland952]

So so helpful video jst wow.. thank u fr tips ☺😊

[@lpark8]

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

[@amysaemisch7171]

Thank you for the great tips. Appreciate that you are not so technical-just straight to the point and with examples! Can't wait to try them out! You mentioned high shutter speed. Wondering also, if you are shooting in Single shot or Continuous in order to maintain focus with the model's movement?

[@J_bui]

Great tips! When you're using a high shutter, are you using at least 1/200, 1/500, or more?

[@fengwang3389]

Inspiring and practical. Thanks!
