Determining the best way to pose your subject—a way
that is flattering to the individual, appropriate to the
setting and clothing, and visually appealing in the overall
composition—can be one of the biggest challenges in creat-
ing a successful portrait. This is especially true when creat-
ing portraits of women, where the photographer may be
called on to create anything from a very traditional head-
and-shoulders pose to a more adventurous full-length look
straight out of the pages of a fashion magazine. Quite sim-
ply, the variations are almost limitless.
This collection is a visual sourcebook designed to address
exactly that problem. Filled with images by some of the
world’s most accomplished portrait, fashion, and commercial
photographers, it provides a resource for photographers
seeking inspiration for their own work. Stuck on what to do
with a particular client or unsure how to use a given prop?
Flip through the sample portraits, pick something you like,
then adapt it as needed to suit your tastes. Looking to spice
up your work with some new poses? Find a sample that ap-
peals to you and look for ways to implement it (or some el-
ement of it) with one of your subjects.
For ease of use, the portraits are grouped according to
how much of the subject is shown in the frame. Thus, the
book begins with head-and-shoulders portraits, followed by
portraits that introduce one or both hands into the head-
and-shoulders look. Next are waist-up portraits, featuring
images that include the head and shoulders, arms and hands,
and at least some of the subject’s torso. Moving on to three-
quarter-length portraits, the examples feature subjects shown
from the head down to mid-thigh or mid-calf. The balance
of the book features full-length images—the most complex
portraits to pose, because they include the entire body. Both
the three-quarter- and full-length portraits are subdivided
into poses for standing subjects, seated subjects, and reclin-
ing subjects.
It can be difficult to remain creative day after day, year
after year, but sometimes all you need to break through a
slump is a little spark. In this book, you’ll find a plethora of
images designed to provide just that.

This section covers the fundamental rules of traditional
posing—techniques that are illustrated in many of the
images in this book. While these rules are often intentionally
broken by contemporary photographers, most are corner-
stones for presenting the human form in a flattering way.
Types
There are three basic types of poses, each defined by how
much of the length of the subject’s body is included in the
image. When including less than the full body in the frame,
it is recommended that you avoid cropping at a joint (such
as the knee or elbow); this creates an amputated look. In-
stead, crop between joints.
Head and Shoulders Portraits (or Headshots). Por-
traits that show the subject’s head and shoulders. If the
hands are lifted to a position near the face, these may also be
included.
Waist-Up Portraits. Portraits that include the subject’s
head and shoulders along with at least some of the torso. In
portraits of women, these images are often cropped just
below the bustline or at the waist. Waist-up portraits are
sometimes considered a type of headshot.
Three-Quarter-Length Portraits. Portraits that show
the subject from the head down to the mid-thigh or mid-
calf. In some cases, one foot may be visible.
Full-Length Portraits. Portraits that show the subject
from the head down to the feet (or at least the ankles). In
some cases, only one foot may be visible.
Facial Views
Full Face View. The subject’s nose is pointed at the camera.
Seven-Eighths View. The subject’s face is turned slightly
away from the camera, but both ears are still visible.
Three-Quarters or Two-Thirds View. The subject’s
face is angled enough that the far ear is hidden from the cam-
era’s view. In this pose, the far eye will appear smaller be-
cause it is farther away from the camera than the other eye.
The head should not be turned so far that the tip of the nose
extends past the line of the cheek or the bridge of the nose
obscures the far eye.
Profile View. The subject’s head is turned 90 degrees to
the camera so that only one eye is visible.
The Shoulders
Especially in portraits of women, the subject’s shoulders
should be turned at an angle to the camera. Having the
shoulders face the camera directly makes the person look
wider than he or she really is and can yield a static composi-
tion. In women’s portraits, squaring the shoulders to the
camera can give the image a less feminine look (which is
sometimes done intentionally to create an assertive mood).
The Head
Tilting the Head. Tilting the head slightly produces diag-
onal lines that can help a pose feel more dynamic. In
women’s portraits, the head is traditionally tilted toward the
near or high shoulder, but this rule is often broken. Most
photographers agree that the best practice is to tilt the sub-
ject’s head in the direction that best suits the overall image
and most flatters the subject.
Chin Height. A medium chin height is desirable. If the
chin is too high, the subject may look conceited and her neck
may appear elongated. If the person’s chin is too low, she
may look timid and appear to have a double chin or no neck.
Eyes. In almost all portraits, the eyes are the most im-
portant part of the face. Typically, eyes look best when the
eyelids border the iris. Turning the face slightly away from
the camera and directing the subject’s eyes back toward the
camera reveals more of the white of the eye, making the eyes
look larger.
Arms
The subject’s arms should be separated at least slightly from
the waist. This creates a space that slims the appearance of

the upper body. It also creates a triangular base for the com-
position, leading the viewer’s eye up to the subject’s face.
Arms should always be articulated and never allowed to
simply hang at the subject’s sides. Simply bending the el-
bows creates appealing diagonal lines in your composition—
and placing these carefully can help direct the viewer of the
image to the subject’s face.
Most portrait photographers request that the subject
wear long-sleeved tops; even if the subject is thin, bare upper
arms rarely render attractively in portraits.
Hands
Keep the hands at an angle to the lens to avoid distorting
their size and shape. Photographing the outer edge of the
hand produces a more appealing look than showing the back
of the hand or the palm, which may look unnaturally large
(especially when close to the face). Additionally, it is usually
advised that the hands should be at different heights in the
image. This creates a diagonal line that makes the pose more
dynamic.
Wrist. Bending the wrists slightly by lifting the hand (not
allowing it to flop down) creates an appealing curve that is
particularly flattering in women’s portraits.
Fingers. Fingers look best when separated slightly. This
gives them form and definition.
Props. Hands are often easiest to pose when they have
something to do—either a prop to hold or something to rest
upon.
Chest
In portraits of women, properly rendering this area is criti-
cal. Selecting a pose that places the torso at an angle to the
camera emphasizes the shape of the chest and, depending
on the position of the main light, enhances the form-
revealing shadows on the cleavage. Turning the shoulders
square to the camera tends to flatten and de-emphasize this
area. Good posture, with the chest lifted and shoulders
dropped, is also critical to a flattering rendition.
Waist and Stomach
Separating the arms from the torso helps to slim the waist.
In seated poses, a very upright posture (almost to the point
of arching the back) will help to flatten the stomach area, as
will selecting a standing pose rather than a seated one. It is
also generally recommended that the body be angled away
from the main light. This allows the far side of the body to
fall into shadow for a slimming effect.
Legs
Whether the subject is standing or seated, the legs should
be posed independently rather than identically. Typically, one
leg is straighter and used to support the body (or in a seated
pose, to connect the subject to the floor). The other leg is
bent to create a more interesting line in the composition.
Standing. Having the subject put her weight on her back
foot shifts the body slightly away from the camera for a more
flattering appearance than having the weight distributed
evenly on both feet. Having a slight bend in the front knee
helps create a less static look.
Seated. When the subject is sitting, her legs should be at
an angle to the camera. Allowing for a small space between
the legs and the chair will slim the thighs and calves.
One Leg in Profile. In portraits of women where the
legs are bare, it is desirable to show the side of at least one
leg. This better reveals the shape of the ankle and calf.
Hips and Thighs
Most female subjects are concerned about this area. For the
slimmest appearance in a standing pose, turn the hips at an
angle to the camera and away from the main light. In a
seated pose, have the subject shift her weight onto one hip
so that more of her rear is turned away from the camera.
Feet
Feet often look distorted when the toes are pointed directly
at the camera. It is best to show the feet from an angle. In
portraits of women, the toes are often pointed (or the heels
elevated, as they would be in high-heeled shoes). This flexes
the calf muscles, creating a slimmer appearance and length-
ening the visual line of the subject’s legs.

  • 4. Determining the best way to pose your subject—a way that is flattering to the individual, appropriate to the setting and clothing, and visually appealing in the overall composition—can be one of the biggest challenges in creat- ing a successful portrait. This is especially true when creat- ing portraits of women, where the photographer may be called on to create anything from a very traditional head- and-shoulders pose to a more adventurous full-length look straight out of the pages of a fashion magazine. Quite sim- ply, the variations are almost limitless. This collection is a visual sourcebook designed to address exactly that problem. Filled with images by some of the world’s most accomplished portrait, fashion, and commercial photographers, it provides a resource for photographers seeking inspiration for their own work. Stuck on what to do with a particular client or unsure how to use a given prop? Flip through the sample portraits, pick something you like, then adapt it as needed to suit your tastes. Looking to spice up your work with some new poses? Find a sample that ap- peals to you and look for ways to implement it (or some el- ement of it) with one of your subjects. For ease of use, the portraits are grouped according to how much of the subject is shown in the frame. Thus, the book begins with head-and-shoulders portraits, followed by portraits that introduce one or both hands into the head- and-shoulders look. Next are waist-up portraits, featuring images that include the head and shoulders, arms and hands, and at least some of the subject’s torso. Moving on to three- quarter-length portraits, the examples feature subjects shown from the head down to mid-thigh or mid-calf. The balance of the book features full-length images—the most complex portraits to pose, because they include the entire body. Both the three-quarter- and full-length portraits are subdivided into poses for standing subjects, seated subjects, and reclin- ing subjects. It can be difficult to remain creative day after day, year after year, but sometimes all you need to break through a slump is a little spark. In this book, you’ll find a plethora of images designed to provide just that.

  • 124. 123 This section covers the fundamental rules of traditional posing—techniques that are illustrated in many of the images in this book. While these rules are often intentionally broken by contemporary photographers, most are corner- stones for presenting the human form in a flattering way. Types There are three basic types of poses, each defined by how much of the length of the subject’s body is included in the image. When including less than the full body in the frame, it is recommended that you avoid cropping at a joint (such as the knee or elbow); this creates an amputated look. In- stead, crop between joints. Head and Shoulders Portraits (or Headshots). Por- traits that show the subject’s head and shoulders. If the hands are lifted to a position near the face, these may also be included. Waist-Up Portraits. Portraits that include the subject’s head and shoulders along with at least some of the torso. In portraits of women, these images are often cropped just below the bustline or at the waist. Waist-up portraits are sometimes considered a type of headshot. Three-Quarter-Length Portraits. Portraits that show the subject from the head down to the mid-thigh or mid- calf. In some cases, one foot may be visible. Full-Length Portraits. Portraits that show the subject from the head down to the feet (or at least the ankles). In some cases, only one foot may be visible. Facial Views Full Face View. The subject’s nose is pointed at the camera. Seven-Eighths View. The subject’s face is turned slightly away from the camera, but both ears are still visible. Three-Quarters or Two-Thirds View. The subject’s face is angled enough that the far ear is hidden from the cam- era’s view. In this pose, the far eye will appear smaller be- cause it is farther away from the camera than the other eye. The head should not be turned so far that the tip of the nose extends past the line of the cheek or the bridge of the nose obscures the far eye. Profile View. The subject’s head is turned 90 degrees to the camera so that only one eye is visible. The Shoulders Especially in portraits of women, the subject’s shoulders should be turned at an angle to the camera. Having the shoulders face the camera directly makes the person look wider than he or she really is and can yield a static composi- tion. In women’s portraits, squaring the shoulders to the camera can give the image a less feminine look (which is sometimes done intentionally to create an assertive mood). The Head Tilting the Head. Tilting the head slightly produces diag- onal lines that can help a pose feel more dynamic. In women’s portraits, the head is traditionally tilted toward the near or high shoulder, but this rule is often broken. Most photographers agree that the best practice is to tilt the sub- ject’s head in the direction that best suits the overall image and most flatters the subject. Chin Height. A medium chin height is desirable. If the chin is too high, the subject may look conceited and her neck may appear elongated. If the person’s chin is too low, she may look timid and appear to have a double chin or no neck. Eyes. In almost all portraits, the eyes are the most im- portant part of the face. Typically, eyes look best when the eyelids border the iris. Turning the face slightly away from the camera and directing the subject’s eyes back toward the camera reveals more of the white of the eye, making the eyes look larger. Arms The subject’s arms should be separated at least slightly from the waist. This creates a space that slims the appearance of APPENDIX Posing Basics
  • 125. 124 the upper body. It also creates a triangular base for the com- position, leading the viewer’s eye up to the subject’s face. Arms should always be articulated and never allowed to simply hang at the subject’s sides. Simply bending the el- bows creates appealing diagonal lines in your composition— and placing these carefully can help direct the viewer of the image to the subject’s face. Most portrait photographers request that the subject wear long-sleeved tops; even if the subject is thin, bare upper arms rarely render attractively in portraits. Hands Keep the hands at an angle to the lens to avoid distorting their size and shape. Photographing the outer edge of the hand produces a more appealing look than showing the back of the hand or the palm, which may look unnaturally large (especially when close to the face). Additionally, it is usually advised that the hands should be at different heights in the image. This creates a diagonal line that makes the pose more dynamic. Wrist. Bending the wrists slightly by lifting the hand (not allowing it to flop down) creates an appealing curve that is particularly flattering in women’s portraits. Fingers. Fingers look best when separated slightly. This gives them form and definition. Props. Hands are often easiest to pose when they have something to do—either a prop to hold or something to rest upon. Chest In portraits of women, properly rendering this area is criti- cal. Selecting a pose that places the torso at an angle to the camera emphasizes the shape of the chest and, depending on the position of the main light, enhances the form- revealing shadows on the cleavage. Turning the shoulders square to the camera tends to flatten and de-emphasize this area. Good posture, with the chest lifted and shoulders dropped, is also critical to a flattering rendition. Waist and Stomach Separating the arms from the torso helps to slim the waist. In seated poses, a very upright posture (almost to the point of arching the back) will help to flatten the stomach area, as will selecting a standing pose rather than a seated one. It is also generally recommended that the body be angled away from the main light. This allows the far side of the body to fall into shadow for a slimming effect. Legs Whether the subject is standing or seated, the legs should be posed independently rather than identically. Typically, one leg is straighter and used to support the body (or in a seated pose, to connect the subject to the floor). The other leg is bent to create a more interesting line in the composition. Standing. Having the subject put her weight on her back foot shifts the body slightly away from the camera for a more flattering appearance than having the weight distributed evenly on both feet. Having a slight bend in the front knee helps create a less static look. Seated. When the subject is sitting, her legs should be at an angle to the camera. Allowing for a small space between the legs and the chair will slim the thighs and calves. One Leg in Profile. In portraits of women where the legs are bare, it is desirable to show the side of at least one leg. This better reveals the shape of the ankle and calf. Hips and Thighs Most female subjects are concerned about this area. For the slimmest appearance in a standing pose, turn the hips at an angle to the camera and away from the main light. In a seated pose, have the subject shift her weight onto one hip so that more of her rear is turned away from the camera. Feet Feet often look distorted when the toes are pointed directly at the camera. It is best to show the feet from an angle. In portraits of women, the toes are often pointed (or the heels elevated, as they would be in high-heeled shoes). This flexes the calf muscles, creating a slimmer appearance and length- ening the visual line of the subject’s legs.
