I’m calling it ‘Portrait Yoga’
Well, not really….but it sounds good and kinda gives you an idea of what a session is like with me.
I had a Yoga instructor come in one day for some profile photos.
She said I’d be great as a yoga instructor because of how I direct in my photoshoots.
Maybe there’s another career opportunity further down the track…or not.
Tall through your torso….
Chin forward…
Slide your elbow back….
Great, now
Kick your hip out…that’s right
A little more…perfect
So, the poses may not feel very natural at all,
But trust me,
You will look more natural than if I left it up to you to work it out on your own.
All my clients will understand what I’m talking about here.
You see, when we usually see a camera,
We tend to pull our heads back ( ekk double chin, that usually isn’t there)
Then we tilt our head back ( ahhh nice nostrils – not a good look)
Now we really do look a little strange and awkward.
Not what you want and not what I want to give you.
What I do want is…
I want to see you stand tall.
I want to see you hold yourself in a way that shows you believe in yourself.
I want you to work those curves you’ve been given and be proud of them.
I want your eyes looking straight into the camera because you’re not afraid of connecting.
I want to see your confidence grow throughout your session.
I want you to walk away feeling like you’ve learnt something new about yourself.
I want you to be able to look at your portraits with only kind words to say about yourself.
This is something every women deserves to feel.
