Male models together with female models make for great images in the modeling industry. It is important that male models know how to pose properly with a female model in order to get the best photos during a shoot.Instructions:-
1.Posing with a female model comes with the territory for a male model. If you don't have the chemistry, it will appear on camera. Every great male model knows how to pose with a female model. If you're new to the process, don't worry, it really is easier than it looks if you know what to do.
2.The better you get to know the female model before and during the shoot, the better your photos will turn out and the more comfortable you'll be while posing. If the model you're posing with is already experienced, she won't even give it a second thought. Ask her about her modeling experiences and if she's used to modeling with a male model. That will help you learn her comfort zone.
3.Avoid looking like you're posing. Couple shots with a male and female model should look like the photographer captured the moment without the two of you being aware, unless you're looking at the camera of course. Look into her eyes and hold her like she's the woman of your dreams.
4.At a loss for poses? Start experimenting. Sometimes action shots look great if done the right way. Try leading her by the hand and walking towards the camera. Think of the cute little gestures guys do to their girlfriends: kissing her hand, holding her chin in your fingers, throwing your arms around her, etc. Even the smallest gestures can carry the picture.
5.Here are examples of poses you can try on your next shoot:
1) You looking at the camera while the she is looking at you.
2) You looking at her while she's looking at the camera.
3) Both of you looking at each other.
4) Both of you looking away from the camera.
5) Both of you looking at the camera.
6.The key for male models posing with female models is to know how to switch up the mood and attitude. Be sure you can easily make the transition from manly man, to romantic sweetheart. You and your female modeling partner should be able to pose as one and not two entirely separate entities. Don't leave her out of your poses and to change things up, smile or laugh.
