AOP part 5: Attitude

pose model theme photographer genre Simon Q. Walden, FilmPhotoAcademy.com, sqw, FilmPhoto, photography

So this style of guidance lets me and the model move easily from genre to genre, theme to theme.

I can say "give me some attitude" and we are in a different place. Of course, each model's interpretation is different, I might want a "power" pose, they may think of an "angry" pose. So more tuning and suggestions may be needed.

There is a lot of shorthand in the industry, when both the photographer and the model have been working for a while it is easy to call out pose styles almost by the numbers. "The Funky Chicken", "The Titanic", "Pre-Raphaelite", "Snooty Cow". Don't worry, you don't need to learn them as a photographer.
