Does anyone know what is the coolest pose to pose for a photo?

1. Standing portrait: Standing portrait is one of the most common postures in portrait photography. Standing portrait can fully display the body shape and lines of the character, with great freedom of beauty and many postures. When posing for a standing portrait, you should pay attention to the following points:

A. One leg of the subject should stand straight, and the other leg should be freely crossed or slightly raised. Do not bend the straight leg. Lift one leg to keep your body steady. Positioning the legs and feet is the prerequisite for positioning the upper body parts.

B. The subject’s head, chest, and buttocks are generally not in a straight line. Let the main line of the body form a curve or S-line.

C. The planes of the body mass formed by the head, chest, and buttocks should generally not be in one plane. For example: when the chest body is facing forward, the face should be turned to the side, and for example: when the chest is facing sideways, the buttocks should be turned to the front.

D. Generally speaking, standing postures require starting from the feet.

2. Sitting portraits: Sitting portraits have greater limitations than standing portraits, but sitting postures can form graceful curves and help eliminate the subject's nervousness. The sitting posture is based on the diagonal sitting posture at 45 degrees to the camera, and is divided into three types: diagonal sitting posture, back-facing sitting posture and side-back sitting posture. According to the angle formed by the upper and lower body, it can be divided into right-angle sitting posture, obtuse-angle sitting posture and acute-angle sitting posture. If it is subdivided by the way of crossing the legs, it can be divided into thigh-crossing posture and calf-crossing posture. Two types. When taking pictures of sitting portraits, you should pay attention to the following aspects:

A. Sitting portraits are suitable for showing static expressions, and the subject's expression should be restrained and thoughtful.

B. The treatment of the subject’s joints is the key part. In general. It’s rare to take a photo sitting in a front-facing position because your knees will be pointed towards the camera and your thighs will look stubby and clumsy.

C. The treatment of the spine of a sitting portrait is also very important. Therefore, when the subject is photographed, do not sit too solidly, but should sit slumped. The back cannot be leaned on the back of the chair. Pay attention to using the spine to support the upper body. .

D. Sitting portraits are difficult to show off the figure, so generally do not choose loose and bulky clothing. In order to better reflect the body curve and the lines of the limbs, it is best for customers to wear tighter clothing.

E. When posing in a sitting position, you must first look for the most appropriate body proportions from the camera. The sitting posture can more calmly display the modeling advantages of the upper body. It can make full use of the outer characteristic curves of the upper body to display the body shape. With the coordination of the limbs, a more complete and smooth body curve can be formed.

3. Based on the above, the simple understanding is as follows:

A. The body and head cannot be in line. When the body is in front of you, the head should be sideways or tilted; when the body is on the side, the head should be facing the camera. .

B. The arms and legs must not be balanced. For example, when taking a photo, if both hands are placed vertically, it will be dull; if both legs are upright, it will also be unnatural, so try to keep a straight, curved posture or a crossed state, so that the photo will be vivid and natural.

C. There is a lot of room for hands. They can be placed around the head, neck, shoulders, waist, chest, behind, etc., while the legs can generally only be straight, bent, lifted or crossed.
