The Art Of Posing

Why New Models Miss It While Trying To Enter The Industry

The art of posing is more than just posing. Many new and upcoming models fall into a rut by trying to pose. They think so hard at posing that their poses look unnatrual. When poses look posed they become plastic and uninviting.

The model must come armed with unique poise and emotional fortitude. In reality modeling is much like acting. Each pose is about making an emotion or circumstance look glamorous.

The only way this will happen is for the model to understand how to embue specific emotions on the face and with the body.
