How to Pose Men Who Are Not Models

Australian fashion, portrait, and lifestyle photographer Julia Trotti made this helpful 11.5-minute video that provides tips and tricks for photographing men who don’t have any experience with posing and modeling.

“Sometimes when taking standing photos of males, photos can look a little too straight and kind of square,” Trotti says. Leaning up against walls “can cause a really nice shape to the body that’s not quite straight.”

“These posing tips are great for general portrait sessions, groom portraits at a wedding, engagement shoots and senior portraits,” Trotti says.
