Pilipino Posing

"Grandpa,
can you
tell me a
few basic
rules about
bookbooks
and taking
pictures?"
"Ok, my
little poser
of questions
....rule #1..
show the
side of your
hand. Can
you see
how this
model is
attempting
to do this?
It would've
been a little
better if she
showed an
outstretched
hand and not
a curled one.
Tip #2...Tilt
your head.
If you tilt
your head,
you give the
illusion of
one earring
being a bit
heavier than
the other
earring.....
this allows
onlookers
to admire
your tilted
head. And
rule # 3....
show off any
skills you may
or may not
have...once
again, see
our model
here is very
flexible.....
she shows
that in her
picture.
There is
another one
....rule # 4....but our model here doesn't use it....it's the pose
where you're standing with one foot pointing at the photographer
and the other food directly behind the front foot but pointing
45 degrees to the side. This gives the illusion of a figure 8......
This pose is a favorite of the 'Over Forty' set. Our model here
is clearly below forty...so that pose would not apply."
"WOW Grandpa....you know so much about photography and
posing....how is that possible?"
"Like I said many times....Barbizon - Class of '74'."
