Posing is a science I don't possess :)
I have done a few portraits but apart from a couple of brilliant exceptions, nothing to be proud of!
I like your setup. Simple but classic, can't fail with that :)

The key is to demonstrate the poses yourself. It is even more hilarious if you're directing and glamour shoot, or an elegant bride, and you're a 6 foot 4 bearded man like me, trying to make myself angular and "s" shaped to look like a stunning runway model.
It always gets laughs, and I never get onto the actual runway.
Not that I'd want to, anyhoo...
And I always asked myself how such photos are obtained... a good model dances through a series of shots - then good photos are obtained, was my guess.... but it turns out that good hints and instructions are the real key?! 😜
Oh, absolutely; there's real model training, and for photographers who do not expect this "creature" of modelling, who they themselves have also studied the fine arts and know about what works in an image against what doesn't; is a complete different beast entirely.
Today I educated myself abit more about the real world, which is a good thing 😏
It is a fantastic feeling. :)
especially if you try to demonstrate something to someone in high heels and you are not even sure if that can be done :D
The pain of this is real. My mortality rate for shoes is luckily zero, but I'm sure if I tried to wear some heels, I would certainly break them.
i think i don't even understand the concept of it. a lot of the times when i try to explain something they look at me "how the f you think i can do that" :)
The same thing happens at the physiotherapist, or the gym. "Contort your body like this"
:D
😂
yap, it always feels like an up hill battle :D
