How to become a professional portrait photography model

How to be a professional portrait photography model and how to shoot fashionable and artistic photography works?

Practice posing through the mirror

Children are the best tool for you to learn how to pose. When looking in the mirror, always imagine how the photographer will shoot and which part of the body will be closest to the lens, which will greatly affect the effect.

There is a gap between the limbs and the body.

On the one hand, it can avoid squeezing out the fat on the limbs, on the other hand, it can create a slimmer visual effect through sufficient body width.

Learn more about light.

Find the main light source and learn how to pose. When your arm is lifted directly to the main light source, the strong contrast will make your arm too bright, and your elbow may block the light, so pull your elbow back a little.

Beware of phototaxis instinct

Don't think that only insects tend to shine, and people may get closer and closer to the light source unconsciously, so if the light source has been set, try to keep it fixed or pay attention to whether you are getting closer and closer.

Slender neck

This is not a natural action, so many people will ignore it, but the effect is very remarkable. Practice in front of the mirror, relax your head and pull it back, let your head lean forward a little, and you will find that your neck will lose weight soon! If you go into another movie and let your chin face the camera, the outline lines will become more prominent and much more beautiful.

Make a fake waist

You can shrink the hand placed on your waist inward to create a slimmer effect, and the gesture looks elegant. If you stand with your feet slightly crossed, there will be an S-shaped curve.

Watch your fingers.

Don't keep your fingers straight and tight together, but keep your fingers slightly bent and relaxed; Besides, don't show the back of your hand, because it's big and ugly. On the contrary, if you show the side of your hand, you will feel much slimmer and smaller.
