Foundation Posing Client Run-Through
Before a couples portrait session, it is worth going over the foundation poses with the couple so that directing them later will move more quickly and effortlessly. This will allow you to capture more looks in less time, and hopefully deliver more photos. The run-through should not take more than five minutes, so the time it takes is definitely worth the time it saves.
Social Interaction Tip: Be sure to ask the couple if they are okay with you touching them before placing your hands on them to help them move into a particular pose.

how do you deal with height issues?
Hi I would Like to find out what Ano. you use when shooting in the v pose
These videos are amazingly helpful and I am truly enjoying them. Thank you.
I noticed that they are generally geared for average height couples who are also hae similar stature. What types of poses would you recommend for couples where there is a significant or unusual size difference?
For example, I am 5’3″ and slim, while my husband is 6’5″ and built more like a linebacker. Most of these poses would probably not work in our situation.
I also know a couple where the woman is probably 8″ TALLER than the man. I’m guessing they do not want this accentuated, but a top down/bottom up would have the reverse effect when both are in the same photo.
Thanks in advance.
