Standing in front of the camera for the first time, or in front of the camera in general, can trigger a queasy feeling. Especially when you don't know how to move in front of the camera. You can find some posing photography tips and suggestions in the following article.
The merging of model and location
Closeups (close to the subject) is always nice. "But" if you have a beautiful location, it would be a waste not to also stage it. If you want to incorporate the surroundings as a composition, leave a little more distance and position the model in this scene.

1. Body tension for more expression
A very high level of attention should be paid to body tension. An elegant and beautiful pose is particularly effective when there is body tension. The choice of not making the model look artificial or stiff. That's a very fine line. With a little practice, this will gradually become part of your flesh and blood in your shootings.
2. Don't let wrinkles appear in the first place
Turn the upper body and shoulder pointing in the direction of the photographer more in that direction
This will release tension and reduce the wrinkles in the neck region
Or the photographer moves a little more to the side, also an option
Women with long hair can position it so that the neck is covered
3. More grace through flexion
Arms, legs and head look more bent when they are bent. It doesn't matter whether you are standing, sitting or lying down. Try the following time - practicing in front of the mirror has proven itself
Bend hands on hips and elbows slightly
Or put hands in (if available) trouser pockets (back or front)
Tilt your head a little sideways and slightly to one side
Tip your hips forward, focus on one leg
4. No more double chins
Have the photo taken above the eye line or from above. On the one hand, this makes the face a little narrower, but also the double chin is reduced
Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth
Stretch your head slightly forward
5. A lovely smile
There are days when you just don't feel good. There is no specific reason and then it happens, on that very day you have a photo shoot . What you can do to ensure that the pictures are still beautiful:
Think of nice moments, moments or funny situations
Close your eyes for a moment and open them again after about 5-10 seconds. Your eyes will appear fresher and more relaxed afterwards
Find your personal favorite smile. That takes a little practice. Try out which smile you feel most comfortable with
6. Conjure up a smaller nose
To make the nose appear smaller in a picture, face slightly away from the camera and not look directly into the camera
7. For serenity and expression
shortly before releasing, close your eyes shortly before
when opening your eyes shoulders down
Pull your shoulders back slightly so that the shoulder blades come closer together
breathe in easily
Erect your head as if someone were pulling your head up slightly, like on a ribbon
pay attention to the chin
Stretch your head slightly forward (double chin reduces double chin)
Position the model sideways. Frontal can work, but a sideways position is usually the better option
8. Don't be a copy - be yourself
Get inspiration, yes, but copy “no”! It is important to find your own style! There is always a standstill, these plateaus are completely normal - the feeling of not developing further - but with persistence, discipline and love for photography, you will develop yourself further .
First and foremost, you should like your pictures. This love for a picture, a certain situation, a certain expression can carry others away. I also keep looking for a specific expression in my pictures. It's a feeling that I let myself be guided by. I look through the pictures I have taken and when I see individual pictures I think to myself: Yes, that is the expression I was looking for!
Rules are great for orientation, but you are there and you decide if and when they should be broken!
