I'm Joe. I teach photography at the School of Visual Arts in New York. We're going to talk about posing techniques for women.
First the things that you shouldn't do.
Show up with your hair nice and not puffed up all over the place.
If you can get out on a cool day with a little cool breeze going, that makes a difference. Moist is nobody's good look.
Dress nice. You don't necessarily have to wear an evening gown for a casual outdoor portrait, but a tee-shirt with a logo or a pattern on it is probably not going to work great for you.
Poses that don't work. I don't understand why people put their hand under their chin. This is ridiculous. You're hiding half your face and most of your body.
And wow, that's really, that's the worst thing I've ever. Oh, wow. Clearly our model is really into looking bad.
Try not to photograph people from below their eye line.
Another thing I see people do a lot is tuck their chin in really far, as though somehow by bending their chin down enough they will hide the fact, their assumption that there's an extra chin under there for everybody to see.
Smiling is better in a picture than frowning or the fashion look. We've all seen t.v. shows where everybody in the picture looks like this. That's not a good look for anybody.
Try to photograph people from above their eye line.
Something I see women do sometimes and I don't know what finishing school they learned it in, see if you can do this, is they smile and then press their tongue up against the back of their teeth so that the tongue is smooshing out between their teeth. Where did they learn to do that? Your poor photographer is going to have a devil of a time retouching the tongue out of your mouth and you're going to end up with extra long teeth as a result.
Just smile. Let the photographer do the rest.
Little whiffs of hair sticking out from the side, they're distracting and they're not anybody's best look.
Talk to your subject. Keep them engaged, keep them paying attention to you. If you stand there silently and just take pictures and take pictures and take pictures, they're going to get very self-conscious.
Keep your eyes on the lens. Looking off into space makes everybody wonder what you're looking at. When you're looking at the lens, you're looking at the person at the other side of the picture. That's better.
Smiling people look good. It doesn't matter how big or small they are. It doesn't matter if they're a hideous, misshapen troll. Happy people look good. So keep them happy and keep them smiling and keep them paying attention to you.
I want you to keep your eyes on the lens while we're taking your picture.
Right and left is always your right and left, and if I ask you to turn a little to the right or a little to the left, don't translate for me, just do your own thing.
This is turning your head and this is tilting your head. Let me see you turn your head one inch to the left. You turned your head all the way to the next state. This is an inch.
I'm going to ask you to make small amounts of movement. Okay? All right.
Keep your eyes on me. Let me see that smile. Arrrrrrrr.
Get a little above your subject. Everybody looks better when you look at them from above.
Roll your left shoulder back just a tad. A little more. From your waist, turn more to your left. There you go. Turn your head a little bit to the right. Very nice.

The Gameboys Story (2011) w/ English Subtitles
The Gameboys are some of the best young blues musicians I've heard in a long time! They're brothers from The Canary Islands - Sven, aged 8; Kay, aged 11; and Lars, aged 12.Their parents, Antonio and Miranda, have done an outstanding job of raising happy and talented children, and I always say that a real parent's worth can be seen in their kids. Besides the boy's musical talent, a lesson could be learned by all of us on how these remarkable children are being raised.
so, please help me to share The Gameboys music!
Remember - keeping the heart and soul of music as an art form is up to us - please show your love and appreciation on all their social networking sites!
