What You’ll Learn
People think of posing as robotic, static, and stagnant. In this masterclass, you’ll learn how to take charge, be confident, fluid, and most importantly gain trust from your subjects because they know you will make them look incredible.
I’ll take you in-depth with a couple, shooting in various settings and poses. You’ll even learn how to use your subjects’ hands as part of the story. And I’ll teach you how to pose group shots to create unique and beautiful images.
Imagine you could…
Feel confident in directing your subjects because you know they will look great. Have anyone trust you because you can make them look better with posing. Understand corrective posing so even the most self-conscious person will trust you.
