Photo Inspiration: Poses

I was particularly inspired by this shot by the way that the model is standing. She is sticking her bum out to the side and bending her leg. This allows shape, which would not be achieved if she kept both legs straight. Her arms both look triangle shaped. One hand is on her neck, with the other one on her hip. This creates a 'S' shape, by the way that it goes from one hand to the other. This has inspired me to create and think of shapes that could be made for my models initials as I think this would be a very good idea for a pose. It would also look fun. It has also inspired me to prehaps use a pose like this for just one of my models so that it would be an individual pose, as I think it would look over the top if they were all to pose like this. Also, it would look like their arms are all over the place.

I love the way that the model is kicking her leg back behind her in this photo. I also like the way how her head is kind of swung back, and she is smiling. It makes the photo look very lively and energetic which I think would be ideal for my magazine because of the band and the models that I have chosen. I also like the way that she has a tie for a belt, which she is holding onto. This gives her something to do with her hands so that it doesn't look as though her hands are just hanging down beside her body. I think this would be a good pose to use for one of the models, instead of everyone doing the same pose. This is because due to the fact that it is a band, it would mean they would all be very cramped together as there is quite a lot of room needed to achieve this pose because of the way that the foot kicks out behind. However, it would be a really good pose to use for one of the models, especially the one thats on the end. It has also inspired me to experiment by thinking of doing a photo with the both models on the end to kick their legs out so the photo looks symmetrical.

For this example, I was inspired by the way that the model is holding both her hands against her face. She is very faintly just touching her face, which gives a kind of elegant effect. The way her body is positioned adds shape, by the way that she is sticking her bum to the side. This brings out the curves. I also like the way that her hair is blowing to give that windswept look. I think this would be a very original pose to use for one of my models. As well as being inspired by the pose, it has also give me inspiration to create a windswept effect for my models. This could be done by using an air fan. However, it might not work without being done professionally because the fan might not be strong enough to work. However, it could be done outside, but that means i'd have to rely on the weather for it to be a windy day which might take up valuable time.

I was inspired by this photo by the way that the model is standing. She is standing to the side, with her hand against the wall. She is tilting her head slightly so that she can have eye contact and look at the camera. She also has her hand on her hip. This accentuates her curves, whilst giving somewhere to place her hand, rather than it just hanging down beside her body. She is in high-heels. This makes her look taller. It also makes her legs look longer, which again accentuates her body. She has her feet spread evenly apart and is standing up straight to bring out her posture. I think this would look very effective if I were to do this with my models all in a line behind one another.
