No, not yet, okay, standing poses one o one first thing we're going to do is this pose here, and I love this. I think this was so beautiful, particularly with links you're going to crop to, I'm going to say mid thigh and you're going to be below her eye line shooting up on here because you can she's long she's lane, she's beautiful and this is going to make her look really modeling her hands instantly where at the back keep your hips like this. So there and there most of the fashion images, the elbows directly back this is how you know she's a model because the amount of space between there and there because it's incredible and when you see those six foot girls that a forty five kilos, one hundred pounds and they've got all that length and all that, you can see why they put them in those poses so straight away, everybody fans out here like this with the album, and I want her elbows like that because what I want is to be able to see through the okay, so I've got to get here is square as I can that's more fashion, ok, a little bit higher on the legs. Otherwise it's about the league's not about the dress and now what I want to do is I wanted to lean back with your shoulders now this is probably one of the most significant poses and let's put our hands here like that so thumbs tune your thumbs they're there to go now straight away the first thing you've got to do is see that they're calm and we want to make sure that that their comedy the symmetrical or out of there okay now I want you to lean back cassidy so however you adjust your feet I don't care how you stand as long as you can lean back with your shoulders okay and you don't want to collect the bum so you want to keep your booty out and lean your shoulders back so what this does slims you torso straight away okay because you're a beautiful shoulder in the front and take it and then push your chin straightforward it's about it being straightforward long ten long, longer down, down, down long, long, long, long yes that that its authority alright okay from here don't move until we nail it we haven't now that okay so at the moment even though you can see her leaning she looks like she's just going at this right in the photograph there's not much movement I always say to people push your hip out over extended this far as it goes over extend the hip like you've got to push them past what they think they're capable of doing and use it hurts but it's like doing yoga I can't engage your core and breathe in and cassidy as you breathe in, you're going to push back into the position with your chin forward and down and really gorgeous self pretty look on your face yeah did you get it? No okay, I think the heads the thing is I can always tell where it is from the front but I can tell from the sides of the first thing I'm going to do is watch this I'm going to drop this handout because this hand doesn't need to be in there I'm going to be here I'm going to create space and I'm going to go and stand behind felix because I'm not seeing the post from the front can I see three here? I need to see it ok cassidy lean on back too high you should be shooting up on her she's a fashion model and you need to come in a bit closer so now you can move up to me shooting high, then she can come into the light I can't come into the light come on to the lord come into the light okay like that yeah, yeah then go down to that there we go yeah can't suddenly changes in the frame all right, so soon as you see that now we've got to get the sound back. Cassidy now I've got to get you to lean back. That's a go long chin, push it forward and down, down, down, down. I just I think the hair should come away from this side of the face. Okay? And maybe what I could do is come up a little bit higher in your crop. Felix, I can't even do this if you like. I think cats, can you just go like this? Just get your head back on the other side on this side. Yeah, I think it needs that shape in the face. There is beautiful. And that long neck. Remember? Perfect. Ok, now very slowly.
