Webinar 3 – Elements Of Posing

Presenters: Kevin Wilson, Martin Grahame-Dunn & Uzair Kharawala
This webinar is all about the art of posing. Most photographers struggle with posing and this can make or break the image. The other important factor in posing your subjects is to communicate with them in a manner they understand and also feel comfortable to pose in. Remember, they are not professional models, so you need to make them feel good and natural and how to educate your clients. Kevin & Martin discuss & showcase some simple and highly effective ways to pose your subject. This session includes weddings & portrait photography.

Many couples say they want things natural, well in many cases what they are really saying is, we want it to look natural. So, intervention usually has to happen.
