How to Pose and Photograph Guys who are Not Models

Posing and photographing guys is such a difficult task. They’re way less flexible, way more awkward, and just spend less time “posing”, in general. I hope this quick guide helps inspire some good pictures with your guy friends who are not models!

    This is honestly a great video topic. I have an eye for taking portraits and know what photos of people's faces can look good, however when it comes to trusting someone to do the same for me it never works out. You always need the right angles, lighting, clothing, backgrounds etc. Of course I am not photogenic and my face tends to tense up, but I believe anyone can have model like photos taken given the person taking your photo knows what they're doing.
