There are many male friends around me who are not used to being photographed. It may be due to lack of experience, which makes it easy to act stiff, or they may feel embarrassed, so you must make appropriate preparations when photographing men. For example, you can use the above pictures to let them know what the shooting effect will be so that they can better control their own postures. In the creative process, allowing the subjects to participate and respond is a very suitable approach for men.
Now let’s teach you how to place the poss
It is a very natural and comfortable basic movement. Pay attention to pulling the shoulders back slightly to make the body more straight, and pay attention to (tightening) the belly.
When taking a full-body photo, bring one foot in front of the other, but note that the center of gravity should be on one of the feet, not evenly distributed, otherwise it will look strange.
Many times male models don’t know how to place their hands. There are actually only four answers: hanging hands easily, on the hips, in pockets or crossed on the chest. The point is to relax your muscles, unless you're filming a bodybuilding competition.
Eason Chans song "When someone comes to take pictures, remember to insert your pockets" is "exaggerated", but in fact this posture will make the male model feel natural and comfortable, whether it is fully inserted or half inserted.
Putting your thumbs on your pockets and wrapping your feet around them is a comprehensive posture. .
Put the ankle of one foot on top of the other. You will feel more relaxed and try shooting from a higher angle.
It is also a very comfortable position.

Placing professional-related objects such as books, computers, and other tools on the table can also increase your professional image.
This is a small change from the previous picture and is very suitable for formal portrait photos.
Shooting from behind can show the working environment, showing a serious yet friendly and welcoming attitude.
Move slightly closer to the table and turn towards the camera. Of course, you can also place appropriate objects on the table to highlight the identity of the subject.
Sit fully into the chair and sit comfortably next to each other. This is suitable for formal and corporate photography.
Basic form, try to find different angles and directions to shoot.
The change of sitting posture is very suitable for use in outdoor environments.
It is quite suitable for men and feels friendly and casual.
Lie down gently with your back against a tree or wall.
Front break, crop the photo to focus on the subject’s face, which will stand out.
Of course, the above are just the basic poses that can be done. We still need to continue to try and create better methods. The common points are to create simple backgrounds, simple clothes, simple postures and natural expressions.
