How to pose as a model

The model's movements include free step, pretty step, tiptoe, overlapping step and inner eight steps.

1, free step

This step is a common standing posture. The center of gravity of the figure's upper body is on the upright leg, and the other leg will move to the outside of the body. The action is simple. This position is actually very similar to lunge, except that the knees are bent. This simple shape makes the figure pose a perfect S-shape, and the figure curve is well displayed.

2. Jolib

In portraits, the most commonly used way to show thin legs is graceful dance steps. In the field of wedding photography and portrait photography, this posture of lifting legs with one leg has been widely used and recognized, because the legs will not be deformed and fat due to cross extrusion, and the curves of the legs will also be shown from the side. This step is one of the most commonly used steps in photography, and it is also one of the necessary knowledge for photographers.

3, toe tip

If you want to show the dignified and elegant posture of women, you have to use tiptoe movements, especially wearing dresses and cheongsam. Some women wear this kind of clothing, and shooting in a standard standing position will look dull, which can also be said to be a kind of stupid standing. Try to bend one leg with toes pointing to the ground, change their shape and bend it 90 degrees vertically.

4, superposition step

People put their feet in a straight line and keep their toes in a straight line, so that one leg will naturally bend and look elegant and slender. It is also very suitable for taking wedding photos and portraits. This step is one of the simplest steps and one of the postures that must be learned.

5. Eight steps

The slender feeling of legs should be expressed not only by changing the posture of legs, but also by adjusting the position of feet, including the internal eight-character adjustment. However, it should be noted that the toes are eight characters, not the legs. If you make a mistake, it's really ugly, and the angle can be adjusted at will. Standing in eight steps is one of the ways to avoid boredom.
