Shoot: Same-Sex Couple Poses
we're going to talk about same sex couples. Um, uh, um I get this question all the time, and I have several answers for everybody. Okay? How do you photograph the same sex couple? Different or the same or what do you do? All right, So here's my five guidelines. First of all, see couples posing. It's the same. I mean, the guidelines are the same, but really, what it comes down to is if there's clearly a couple's dynamic analysed. So, for example, if the couple is really touchy feely do really touchy feely poses. If they don't look so touchy Feeling start off with less touchy feely poses, and then you can get a little bit more romantic. Um, okay, So the big question that I get is what happens if there isn't clear generals and so specifically today, like, there's not someone that you look at and say, Oh, I know how to pose them. So really, just don't go for the really like you would with a couple. Don't go for, like, hand on hip, hand on shoulder. Okay, go for the poses where there's not ...
clearly feminine masculine movement. So what I would say if you're struggling to determine the dynamics, pose kind of like friends but have more points of contact. Always have the head's tilted together. Follow the couples, posing guidelines, analyzed a couple of dynamics. What was kind of together like friends and more romantic, very eye contact. The same thing is before it, tilting heads, closing eyes, looking at camera, looking down at one subject, the other person size close eyes open. Look, be the whole thing around in a circle on. And then, of course, still avoid the flat feet. So that doesn't mean that I'm saying, Of course, you know somebody has got to be. I felt like if you like that, I just mean again two people side by side doing this, there's there's no dynamic to it, so keep that in mind as well

Samantha Riegels
This is a great course for a quick reminder of things to keep in mind when headed out for a particular shoot. It's bullet points. General principals. If you are new to posing, you'll want a more in-depth course where she has live models and is positioning them rather than just talking about posing techniques. But for a Fast Class, I think this is perfect. Wonderful job, as always Lindsay!
