The Five Foundation Poses for Couples Portraits
After studying thousands of images and analyzing the poses, we found that approximately 97% of the poses stemmed from five basic positions of the feet and body. From these foundation poses, you can make micro adjustments to create a wide variety of looks and establish different levels of intimacy. One of the biggest benefits of using the foundation posing system with your couples is how easy it makes communicating with the couple to get into and cycle through poses.
The Foundation (feet):
- V-up (hinge)
- Closed
