POSING FLOW: SITTING ON A CHAIR

When it comes to portrait sessions, having models sit on a chair is like hitting the jackpot for variety! It’s a fantastic way to add depth and context to the shots. By playing around with the model’s posture and placement, you can bring out different vibes and feelings, whether it’s a laid-back, thoughtful mood or a more confident, glam look. Plus, sitting poses can really highlight those natural curves, especially in maternity or boudoir shoots, giving the photos a cozy, intimate feel. And don’t forget to get creative with angles and lighting – they can totally transform the vibe of the portraits, making them pop and stand out in all the right ways!

Here are some tips to remember when you pose your models sitting on the CHAIR:

1. Arch the Back: Encourage the model to gently arch her back to showcase her baby bump. This creates a flattering curve and emphasizes her pregnancy silhouette.
2. Soft Hands: Remind the model to keep her hands relaxed and gentle. Avoid clenched fists, which can appear tense in photos. Soft hand placements add a delicate touch to the pose.
3. Straight Toes: Keep the model’s toes pointed or straightened to elongate the legs and maintain a graceful posture. This contributes to a more elegant and flattering pose.
