POSING FLOW: SITTING ON A CHAIR

When it comes to portrait sessions, incorporating chair poses can be a game-changer for adding variety and creativity to your shots. Not only does it introduce depth and context to the portraits, but it also offers endless possibilities for showcasing emotion and personality. By experimenting with the model’s posture and positioning, you can create anything from a relaxed, introspective mood to a bold, glamorous look. Furthermore, seated poses are perfect for highlighting natural curves, especially in maternity and boudoir photography, where they add a sense of intimacy and warmth. To take your portraits even further, consider playing with different angles and lighting setups — these small adjustments can dramatically transform the final result, making the images visually striking and unforgettable.

POSING TIPS

Here are some tips to remember when you pose your models sitting on the CHAIR – check the posing flow below:

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.
