The face of a model posing is her fortune.  Usually, it is the face that most people this of as the most vital part of a good fashion shot.  However, this is not entirely accurate.  Every part of the model, from face to feet, work together to create the clean lines that make up the composition of the shot.  Nothing should detract from the final shot, but a poorly placed foot or an awkwardly cocked ankle can draw the eye, thus ruining a great shot.

The ankle can be a very expressive tool in foot posing.  It acts as that pivot point for the foot, allowing it to roll in and out as well as up and down.  Moving the ankle itself from side to side is a common foot pose.  The best way to view this is from the front where the foot, ankle and leg can be clearly seen.  The starting point for the ankle is in a straight line directly over the toes.  From there, it can “cock” in toward the other foot or “cock” out, away from the other foot.

Photographers and models refer to the movement of the ankle as “rolling.”  When the photographer tells the posing model to roll her ankle in, he means for her to roll it toward her other foot.  When he says to roll it out, he means for her to roll it away from her other foot.  There are many points between the two extremes of the rolled out and in ankle, each bears its own conveyance of attitudes.  The wise model knows, though, that too much of an angle breaks the line and interrupts the flow of the lines of the leg.

The universally ultra feminine foot pose is that of the ankle rolled in, or cocked toward the other foot.  This pose lends a very graceful curve, a nice line that conveys sophistication, elegance and femininity.  The basic foot pose and its modifications are often seen in fashion photography using this technique.  In the basic foot pose, one foot (the cocked foot) is placed slightly in front of the other with the heel of the forward foot placed at the arch of the rear foot.  The rear foot is turned out slightly.  When the right foot leads in this pose, models sometimes call it a “right hemisphere.”  When the left foot leads, it is called a “left hemisphere.”  Modifications of this pose include sliding the front foot forward or to the side a few inches.

When the model keeps the ankle straight, so that the leg posing is directly in line with the foot, she can convey strength, haughtiness and arrogance.  In the fashion world, this is a very strong foot pose and is generally used when the overall feel is less feminine or androgynous.  It may even be considered a masculine pose, but when an overly feminine style is not desired, many female commercial models will employ it.

A rolled out ankle, or ankle that is cocked out, usually lends an air of immaturity.  A casual pose, it is also used quite a bit in high fashion shots when the goal it to achieve a chic or funky impact.  This pose is best done sparingly, though because it is not appropriate for many types of shots.  Depending on the tone of the set, the image you want to convey and the garment you are modeling, you may opt for this foot pose.

The foot is also a strong posing tool in that is moves in an arc, much like a fan.  Ankle and foot placement are integral to a good shot, regardless of whether the model is sitting or standing.  When she is standing, she is usually in the basic fashion pose, a right hemisphere or left hemisphere, where her weight is supported on one foot and the other foot is placed to the front or side.  In a right hemisphere, the right foot is slightly in front of the left foot, with the right heel positioned very close to the left inner arch.  By cocking the ankle at various degrees and moving the right foot forward or to the side, the basic pose can be modified.  A left hemisphere, of course, is simply the left foot placed in the front and the right foot in the rear.  The toes of the forward foot may be angled at various degrees to the body, either straight ahead, to the side slightly or even at a 90 degree angle out.

In modeling, the right hemisphere and left hemisphere are very basic poses, a beginning modeling stance for walking on the catwalk and for other poses.  However, another universally neutral foot position places the feet side by side.  From that position, the toes can be placed in a wide range of angles along the arc, from pointing in to pointing all the way out.  This position, though, is not generally used often in the fashion world.

While the foot has a wide range of motion, allowing it to move 90 degrees in either direction, it is rarely used at the extreme angles.  Most of the time, the foot of a model is slightly fanned out or in the neutral position, pointing straight ahead.

When the toes are pointing inward, the effect is awkward and pigeon toed, usually associated with playfulness, bashfulness and childishness.  It can also indicate inexperience and naivity.

Fanning the foot outward at the extreme angle denotes a casual attitude or lack of sophistication.  A popular teen model pose, it is used to convey a nonchalant attitude or rocker image.

The model must understand how each part of her body works to convey a particular tone, mood or image and how just one misplaced foot or awkwardly cocked ankle can throw off the entire shot.  She should have a very good grasp of posing and controlling the various parts of her body so that the lines she creates are clean and unbroken, which is what the photographers want.

Portraiture can be very rewarding. It’s a chance to show the best side (literally) of someone, and create a photo that communicates something unique.

The first rule of good portrait photography is LOOK at your subject.

This sounds obvious but take a browse through all the shots you have of your family and friends and see if they don’t have a sameness about them. Cut off head and shoulder shots, uncomfortable posing, goofy expressions, mug shots, empty staring, frozen smiles..?

Each person has some unique quality that deserves photographing. It doesn’t have to be perfect skin, a remodeled nose, pouting mouth, stunning eyes. But it should be some quality that best communicates the person’s individuality.

Sound difficult? It isn’t if you follow some basic tips.

Don’t Use Direct Flash.

Flash is light at its most boring. On rare occasions it can really lift a shot into dazzling life, but most of the time using available light is better. A flash firing removes any relaxed atmosphere you may have built up with your subject and gives the shot a bland look.

Use a Telephoto Lens. 105-135mm is usually best.

Wide angle lenses are definitely out.

Use Vertical Compostion.

Tilt the camera to one side. A portrait usually includes the head and upper torso and sometimes the hands. These work best in a vertical format. Framing horizontally wastes space on each side of your subject and can ruin the “feel” of the image.

Dress Your Subject Up if Possible.

If this is to be almost a formal portrait photo you may be able to suggest what clothes. Solid, dark or light colors work best. Stripes, checks, swirls, and patterns confuse the viewer’s eye. Strong colors can can overwhelm the skin tones. A scoop or vee cut is usually better than a round cut. For a man or older woman, cover the shoulders, for a young woman leave them bare.

Try to use whatever available light you have to create a good effect.

Position the person where the light is soft and coming mainly from one direction. This can give a moody feel and usually gets the eyes more attention. You can use a reflector on the shadowed side to ‘bounce the light’ if the contrast between highlight and shadow is too strong. You can make a simple reflector using aluminum foil on a sheet of cardboard.

Pick the Person’s ‘best side’.

People really do have one. Have one shoulder slightly turned towards the camera favoring one side. Try that particular pose another way and work out which one is best.

Let the Person Sit Down.

This helps put them at ease by haviing somewhere to “be” and assists you in being able to direct them more easily. Give the person directions.

In a portrait photo, you’re dealing with minor movements and shifts of position and angle. Try to shoot slightly above the person to make the eyes open more. Lower the shoulder closest to the camera, get the head straight or at an engaging angle. Lower the chin a little.

Some people look better when they smile but some do not. You can get more interesting expressions and nuances without a smile. Ask your subject to think about something they like. This will highlight the eyes and accentuate the mouth lines.

If you have included the hands in the shot, make sure you check them. Hands can sometimes look awkward or even ugly. A fist that is lightly closed is usually neutral. Let the hands rest on a knee or in the lap and see what you have. Cut them off later if they don’t work.

If you’re shooting candid portraits the same tips apply but in these shots you have to move around to get the best angle.

The way a model’s arms are posed can be integral to the shot.  It can make it great or it can serve as a distraction and take away from the impact of the shot.  While the legs may receive more attention, the arms can deliver impact by deepening expression, creating an artistic tone and lending balance.

The model’s arms should receive adequate attention when posing because poorly posed arms can wreck an otherwise great shot.

When posing arms, you need to pay close attention to not only how they are positioned, but how they look in the shot.  Sometimes the model posing may have no clue how to position her arms, and the frames of the shot offer a limited posing area.

While this may sound difficult, in reality it isn’t.   I can be a challenge, but when you break down the arms into three segments, upper arm, forearm and hand, you can make the task a bit more manageable.

Try to imagine the arm as a flattened shape, causing them to appear as if they are cut from cardboard, like a paperdoll if you will.  Separate this flattened arm shape into three segments, joining the upper arm to the body at the shoulder, the upper arm to the forearm at the elbow and the forearm to the hand at the wrist.  Each segment rotates up and down, but never forward and back.

If the arms did actually only move up and down as opposed to away from the camera and toward it, there would never be a problem with posing them for the camera.

The human arm can not duplicate this flat, one dimensional concept.  They are three dimensional, flesh and bone.  They are not cardboard, not a paperdoll.  However, the basic motion represented in the illustration is quite correct.  The crux of the movement of the arm should be maintained within the up, down, side to side motion while limiting the movement toward and away from the lens.

The lens does not see as the human eye does.  The eye is somewhat forgiving and compensates for variations in depth within an area.  The lens, however, does not operate in that manner.  If the aperture is not adjusted to compensate for the various depths within a shot, then an arm that is too close to the lens while the body is at a normal range, will appear enormous, shortened or at some settings the arm will be in focus while the rest of the shot is not.  Likewise, if the arm is positioned too far away from the lens, it can appear very small or distorted. 

It is important to keep this in mind as you shoot.  This tendency is not impossible to work with, just something that you will have to sharpen your skills to contend with.  It is the nature of the beast and you can’t change it so you might as well learn how to play the game.  While some of the more artistic approaches to photography manipulate this quality, using the distortions and odd perspectives as a creative tool, this is usually not the case for commercial or glamour photography.  The sharp photographer and model will have a working understanding of the boundaries that the camera sets and they will know how to work around that.

The boundaries of the posing area are rather shallow, but quite wide.  This means that the model has a great deal of freedom for side to side motion, but limited range for forward and back motion of the arms.  She can swing her arms at her side in a casual, resting position, raise her arms so that the meet overhead or cross her body at various levels from the waist to the collarbone.

This shows that the restrictions are not as confining as you may think.  Each arm actually has quite a bit of freedom to move within the limitations set by the lens.  While the movement of the upper arm and forearm are somewhat limited in regards to depth, there are still many, many attractive, interesting positions that are available to each arm.

While the hand is a part of the three points of the arm, there is a great deal that goes into hand posing.  For that reason, this discussion will focus on the upper arm and forearm.

Upper Arm.  Positions of the upper arm are defined by the elbow.  The elbow acts as a reference point for the position of the arm. With the body facing front, move the upper arm out so that the elbow is at a 90 degree angle from the body, the upper arm is parallel to the bottom of the frame.  The upper arm can also move up so that the elbow is at the top of the frame, in toward the center of the body and down again.

Imagine the arm moving on a large clock so that when moving the right arm, up is in the 12 position, out is in the 3 position, down is in the 6 position and across the body is in the 9 position.  But just like a clock, there are many different positions in between.

The normal position of the upper arm is hanging down from the shoulder.  This is often the starting point.  However, there are many different options for poses, you just have to remember a few simple rules.  Too much of a bend at the elbow can give sharp angles that look hard and unnatural.  Also, if the forearm compresses the upper arm, it can give an unnatural look to the shape of the arm.  It can also make the arm look larger that is really is.  This can also happen if the arm is pressed to the side, against the face or even against the body.

Forearm.  Positions of the forearm are defined by the wrist and its relative position to the elbow.  With the elbow acting as a pivot point, it is usually a good practice to set the upper arm, then the forearm.

The normal position of the forearm is just like that of the upper arm, hanging down at the side.  Also like the upper arm, the forearm has the same four basic positions.  Different upper arm and forearm positions can be combined to create interesting model pose.  For instance, you can position the upper arm so that it is parallel to the model’s side with the elbow pointing to the bottom of the frame, while the forearm is positioned across the model’s body, meaning that the elbow is bent at a 90 degree angle.

Great shots depend on great posing.  The sharp photographer and posing model will understand these concepts and know how to best use the camera’s limitations to their advantage.  Often just a minute change in a position can make all the difference.  Don’t be afraid to experiment and try different poses in order to get that great shot.

The Nikon D90 is an outstanding middle-range DSLR camera. Below are some essential Nikon D90 accessories:

One of the best lenses for Nikon is the Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom-Nikkor Lens. Get the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G AF-S if you prefer high end lenses. The Tokina AF 12-24mm f/4 AT-X Pro DX (IF) would be a great wide angle lens.

The Nikon Speedlight SB-600 is a compact flash that features impressive functionality. The LCD is easy to view and has six buttons that make the external flash’s operation simpler. Each button is backlit and is simple to understand.

Circular polarizer is probably the best filters for your Nikon D90; they add a ‘wow’ factor on the photos. They cut polarized lights, which hit on the camera lenses. These circular filters can minimize unnecessary reflect ions caused by non-metallic surfaces such as glass or water.

The Nikon EN-EL3e Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery is one most important Nikon D90 accessories. Ensure optimum rechargeable battery life by using the regular complete charge of a battery before recharging it. A newly charged spare battery enables this and offers uninterrupted photography.

What is the right SDHC/SD memory card for the Nikon D90? Consider getting Kingston, SanDisk, or Lexar. It is best to buy two 8G memory cards, which you will need when shooting HD videos.

A good bag for your Nikon D90 is the CF-D80 Semi-Soft Case. This bag appears and feels like soft, real glove leather, for a very reasonable price. If you need a backpack for your camera, go for the good-looking Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather Backpack; but if you want a nice shoulder bag, buy the Lowepro Rezo 170AW.

The Manfrotto 322RC2 and the Manfrotto 190XPROB 3 Section Aluminum Pro Tripod are good tripods. These tripods are getting raves from consumers at Amazon. The 322RC2 and the 190XPROB are great tripods for your Nikon D90.

Lastly, the best remote control for the Nikon D90 is the Wireless Remote Control ML-L3. What I like about this smooth remote is that it can directly activate the shutter without disrupting the Nikon D90. The ML-L3 is ideal for subjects that are difficult to approach or for reducing the vibrations.

Most of the time home photography is sufficient to record what is important enough to be remembered. But once in a lifetime events such as weddings deserve the extra touch of a professional photographer. There are plenty to choose from. How do you know which one is right for your special day?  Below are seven principles to aid you in that choice.

1. Availability. If you are wealthy, you may be able to hire the best New York photographer to capture your California wedding. However, most people will want to hire someone more locally, someone whose transportation costs will be more reasonable. For example, a couple in Virginia would choose someone specializing in Virginia Beach wedding photography. Also, since photographers are especially busy on Saturdays, will he/she be available on your big day?

2. Skill. What is the reputation of the photographer? Do you have testimonials available? Can you view samples of their work? After all, photographing  a wedding is more than just clicking and shooting. They need good equipment and skill. What will be the pixel range of the digital pictures? The more pixels, in general, the larger the file size but also the better the resolution. When enlarged they will still have the same clarity.

3. Personality. Imagine yourself working with them for several hours, planning your special day. Would they be good to work with? Do you think they would be pushy or would they try to work with your budget and wishes? Would they want to run the show or would they fit into your plans? Would they work well with any children in the wedding party?

4. Price. The average cost of a wedding in the U.S. now is over $20,000. Though you don’t want to blow your budget on pictures, you do want the quality of a professional. What is your maximum budget for pictures? Do they have options within this amount that include all you have in mind?

5. Service. How soon will others be able to see the pictures? How soon will you receive the ordered prints? If enlargements were ordered, when would they be available? Since digital is instant, is the option of displaying ceremony pictures during the reception available?

6. Options. A wide variety of options should be available. For example, if you so desire, is the photographer available during the rehearsal? Are they willing and available when you want the main photographic event to take place? Are they OK letting relatives take their own pictures while they are setting up shots? What creative suggestions do they offer? Can others print pictures off their website?

7. Integrity. Does the photographer deliver on the promises made? Is the photographer known for being on time and at the right place where they are expected? Are all the parts of the package you choose delivered as promised? Do they have other things planned that day or will they be there as long as you expect them to be?

You won’t want to reply on an amateur to photograph something as important as your wedding. If you follow these principles, you will probably not be disappointed with the person you choose. And if you’re close enough to need a Virginia Beach photographer, look up Expressions Photography. Their friendly and professional expertise will capture all the memories of your special day.

It’s interesting how sometimes older technologies or art forms take on an even greater value value when they are made obsolete by the new and modern.  This is certainly true of black and white photography.  When color photography came on the scene, it seemed the days of black and white in both video and photography were over forever. 

But that was certainly not the case.  Over the last decade with have seen black and white picture evolve in both genres.  In fact, it is not at all unusual any more to see a very modern movie filmed entirely in black and white.  It is also common to visit a fine art museum and find a photographic art display that uses black and white extensively.  Black and white has some artistic and emotional qualities that are just not possible to achieve in color photography.

Probably the strongest quality that grabs the viewer a black and white photo is its emotional power.  Even if the photo is just of an old barn or an antique car, there is an emotional appeal that is difficult to analyze in words but universal to all of us as we look at a black and white shot.  That is why black and white photos almost instantly take on an artistic look.  So if you are evolving your artistic photography style and portfolio, including some experimentation with black and white will do a lot to improve your work.

Black and white also focuses the eye on the emotional center of the piece.  More than likely the optimal subject matter is the human face.  In even a tranquil expression, the viewer can see such a vast range of expression in the eyes, the tilt of the head, the subtle wrinkles or peculiarities of the face and the focus of the gaze. 

Black and white almost always invites the viewer to want to know about the story behind the picture.  If it’s a landscape, “What happened here?” is the question that often springs to the mind of the viewer and the longer they gaze at the photo, the more their imagination fills in the details.  If you are viewing the face of a serene or melancholy girl, it is almost impossible not to wonder what she is dreaming about or what of life’s issues is weighing on her mind.

Along with the emotional power and the way black and white compels the viewer to search for meaning, black and white carries with it a tremendous romantic power that touches the heart in a powerful way.  That romance can easily translate over to the sensual or even the erotic without having to become pornographic to achieve that effect.  Shots that are trying to evoke the power of sensuality and romance do well when they involve moisture or a water scene such as the beach.  Despite the lack of color, these colors appeal to the five senses in ways that color can never hope to achieve.

You can experiment with black and white and gather the responses of friends and family to learn how to utilize the subtle but powerful artistic nuances that seem to come with black and white photography almost unconsciously.  The digital portrait camera has invited in an enire new age of black and white photography.  You see the form used even in otherwise non artistic settings like wedding portfolios or anniversary pictures.  That is because of that emotional and romantic power that black and white conveys. 

If you have not started to experiment with black and white shots, it’s worth the time to learn how to capture the powerful images this type of photography can make possible.  Along with the creative use of light and framing, black and white gives itself well to editing that you can do with Photoshop to bring out the emotional center of each shot.  Before long, you may actually find your self seeing black and white shots in a color world.  Your awareness of what will make a great moment in this format will become acute and you will be ready to capture those moments spontaneously, which is always the best kind of photography.

Photography studio equipment consists of many different items, however one of the most crucial items of photography equipment are lighting kits.Move scenes, still photography, and even video production are enhanced greatly by the use of a proper lighting kit. 

Here we have to distinguish between two basic types of photographic lighting, whether for digital or film.Flash, strobe lighting and continuous lighting.Both halogen and fluorescent photo lighting kits are continuous lighting sources, so you can be sure that the photo shoot or movie scene is brightly lit until you switch them off. 

Strobe lighting kits or flash lighting kits are suitable for use in a variety of photographic situations and the bulbs have very long lives, about 10,000 flashes.If you have a standard commercial camera, they are not made to be used with a flash lighting kit. 

In this instance, for new photographers that may not wish to purchase specific cameras but require a photo lighting kit, a cool fluorescent lighting kit or halogen lighting kit would be a suitable alternative. 

Lighting is critical to all film and video productions whether it is photo lighting for a pro studio or home or in a dramatic movie or stage scene.Without an appropriate source of proper lighting, one may not be able to capture the warmth in photos, or to be able to see an impressive acting performance or be able to tell the difference between the colors of pink and red.

The quality of the photography studio equipment that is being used for scenes or photos will have a direct affect on the outcome.Photography photo lighting kits can be affordable, many sites make this difficult to find for the consumer though and charge too much.Photographer's wanting value for their hard earned dollar is not something they should have to search for to find with regard to photography equipment.  To start or build their own home photo studio or professional studio. 

Photographic studio lighting for glamour, portrait, fashion or product photography business.Being able to produce your own professional quality photos can be done if you are using a good quality digital or film camera along with an affordable photo lighting kit.

In physical stores, the cost of photo lighting can be highly priced. Many choose to shop online instead because of the great deals that can be found so readily.We offer a great selection of fluorescent lighting kits at various prices and wattages to choose from for your budget.Standard, focusable and wattage output controlled halogen light kits provide a great selection for the specific type of lighting source that photographer's may need. Many also consider flash or strobe lighting kits as well for their home or studio. 

All photo lighting kits on sale in our store come with a standard full one year warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee.Photography studio equipment can be found at wildly varying pricing, some stores charge what the manufacturer suggest for pricing while others do not.  However when we decide to sell items for less than their suggested price, the sale price is shown in your cart.
