General Posing: As opposed to the Posing & Direction video series, Sue goes through the same General Posing with our curvy model, Jen.

Rule of 9’s: Compare and contrast the Rule of 9’s and see how different angles of the face work on different body types.

Rotation: Always remember to rotate your client to find the best angle that is the most flattering for their shape.

Pose From the Feet Up: Go through Sue’s method of posing from the feet up, curated each part of the body to create the most flattering pose.

Arms: One of the most common parts of the body that women are most insecure about is their arms. Go through different arm positions to find which one will work best for your client.

Ottoman: When laying a client down, only certain poses will work well with their body type. Watch Sue as she poses Jen on the ottoman.

Reclining Poses: Using apple boxes or a chair, go through posed you can use reclining your client into a pose that looks casual yet beautiful.
