Easy Posing Tips for Headshot Photography

When starting your session, remember that letting lose and enjoying the present moment can really make a difference regarding how you might feel about the final photos. First, make sure to relax your shoulders and don’t forget to breathe; it’s supposed to be fun so do your best to stay out of your head (this is something I deal with too and can help you through).

1. Stand at an angle from the camera in order to avoid too “boxy” of a stance
2. Put weigh on your back leg and pop front leg/knee out
3. Imagine a string coming from your head pulling you up straight and cross your arms while looking at camera with a serious face
4. Be mindful of keeping space between your arms and body (this helps not to hide your body, also avoids being “boxy”)
5. Place hands softly in pockets (or on hips) and walk towards camera like you’re walking a tight rope
6. Cross your arms and lean forward, towards the camera
7. BONUS TIP: Bring along some essentials for your business (such as laptop, business cards, accessories, etc)
