15 Female Poses for Your Photoshoot
Don’t be scared to treat the following ideas as a starting ground: combine them and add your own twist to them!
1. Standing without Support
This is a basic female pose which is suitable both for a studio shooting and for outdoors. Have one leg of a model slightly bent and arms placed to allow the light to move easily.
2. Looking Back
Such poses for women will emphasize the model’s back and focus on her eyes and hair. Nature, architecture or even an ordinary photo booth can serve as a background in such photos.
3. Leaning Against the Wall
I like to use this pose during a fashion or commercial photo session. This is a support that a model can lean on and balance. Besides, it gives a model full freedom.
4. Facing the Wall
This kind of women poses allows you to show body curves and give an opportunity to play with angles and arms position. For a better result, use an old door, a wall with different textures and arches as support.
5. Support for Hands
Such female model poses are suitable for any model. For this, a girl needs to rest her arms on any support such as a table or high handrails. With this pose, you’ll get a very lively portrait.
6. Turning Away from the Camera
I advise using this pose if you want to make a photo more mysterious and emphasize the model’s back. I recommend doing it in the open air with an interesting background such as a forest or a sea.
7. Moving Away from the Camera
If you have a street photo session, try such female poses. Especially in places with rather narrow streets.
Walk behind a model and take a picture of her from behind but ask her to look in your direction from time to time.
8. Playing with Hair
If your model has long hair, ask her to “play” with it and fix with her hands. This will add more dynamics to your shots and emphasize such beauty.
9. Hands in Camera
These female photo poses have become quite popular lately. Many models and photographers like them. The point is that you have to capture the face of a model between her folded hands in front of the camera or simply capture them in the foreground.
10. Making Faces to the Camera
When your model is accustomed to the setting and relaxed, ask her to make some funny faces looking in the camera. Photos will be quite emotional and lively.
11. Sitting on the Stairs
It’s a great female posing idea for street photography when you want to show you model’s beautiful legs.
Also, in this case, a model can rest her hand on a stair to straighten her back and give her posture a better look.
12. Sitting with Knees Bent
I recommend capturing this pose from a half-face angle. In this way, you can emphasize a posture, arms and give some mystery to the face depending on where the model looks at.
13. Sitting in the Armchair
This photoshoot pose for girl is universal. It allows to place legs absolutely differently and gives the possibility to “play” with arms to get an organic photo. This pose greatly emphasizes legs.
14. Legs Crossed
This female photography posing idea will emphasize the model’s posture and her chest. For this, a girl needs to straighten her back and look directly into the camera.
15. Sitting on a High Surface
If you can pose your model above the eye level, this is a great chance to take several shots from a lower angle and show her from a slightly different perspective.
She can look into the distance if you’re outdoors and directly into the camera if indoors.
