POSE is not a Dirty 4 letter word!

" We don't want to be Posed."

Im sure you've heard this before or even said it to your photographer. I usually ask them, "do you want to look your best?" and of course the answer is always YES. Thats why they come to a professional to be photographed. What people really are saying is they want to look relaxed and natural. Posing is a huge part of making that happen. You have to know what works for all body types, heights and both for men and women. Posing groups for family portraits, posing to slenderize areas we don't want to draw attention to, posing to show a mood or personality. So YES, you do want to be posed, but you just don't want to look stiff and awkward or unnatural. 

We had our first instruction class on posing women this week! We had a great hands-on workshop and I know everyone picked up some tips that they will use to improve their photography skills!  Our next posing class is for posing MEN and Groups! Check out the class registrations if you wish to join us! I also have a private group on Facebook for my classes and workshops....if your not there and wish to me added send me a request. PHOTOBYLISA Classes and Workshops is the group name.
