Posing tips

Competition stage posing and posing for a photo are a little different…

When you are posing on stage, you are showing off you physic for the judges. In this case, symmetry and balance are important. However, when posing for a photograph, usually asymmetrical poses are more interesting and dynamic. Also, unlike stage lighting, in the photo studio I have total control of the lighting, so I can create cool lighting to highlight your physique and make an awesome and unique picture.

Personality and Posing

This is a personal photo shoot, so it’s important that your personal style and personality are represented in your photos. This can be shown in your clothing, poses, and facial expressions.

For example, if you’re a yoga instructor, then showing you in yoga clothes in different yoga poses might be suiting. Or if you are into hip-hop dancing, we can take more fun, dynamic shots with cool clothing. For women, maybe you want more sexy shots in lingerie, sexy sportswear, or a fun bikini. And if you’re a guy, we can do some really cool shots in gym wear, dress clothing, or a cool suits. Whatever fits your style!

Or maybe you just want some awesome pictures in your competition outfit. We can do whatever you like! That’s the great thing about having a personalize photoshoot!

A few last points

Of course competition poses can also look great and I often shoot many pictures with stage posing. I just want to express that in a photo session, we have a lot more flexibility to create the kind of pictures you want!

And don’t worry if you don’t have any good ideas for posing. I have lots of ideas and experience, and I’m sure we can find some really good poses that work well for you. But the most important thing is to have fun! Look forward to seeing you soon!
