Some photographers might find it very difficult to properly direct a model for great poses that will enhance the model's presentation, showing his/her best face and figure, and most importantly convey the photographer's message. Here are some pose examples which can be really handy when you're shooting in a studio/outdoor with your models.

They are easy to see and make a flipchart to show the model you are trying to pose what you are after without the awkwardness of trying to do the pose yourself to show them! 

I have these printed and setup in a small flipchart that I can keep with my gear at all times, and a larger book for in the studio. 

I've broken the poses down into a few categories, use the navigation on the right:  

• Full Body
• Half Body
• Laying
• Sitting
• Two Thirds Body
