The Importance of Posing


From ancient statues and renaissance oil paintings to modern fashion and glamour photography, the great artists have always founded their idealistic depictions of the human form on the subtleties of posing. While sculptors and painters have the advantage of being able to modify imperfections in their model’s pose with the stroke of a brush or chisel, photographers must coach the performance out of their subject to pass the intended message onto the viewer.


A good photographer with a solid understanding of how certain poses accentuate or minimize areas of the body. They know how to manipulate the pose. What you don’t see, your mind fills in the rest. If the image is well lit, the facial expression is beautiful, and what you do see is attractive, your mind fills in the gaps that what isn’t clearly visible is also beautiful.
