- Avoid Awkward Poses by making yourself comfortable
During shooting, the model and photographer should feel comfortable with the topic/ subject. If a model and photographer are unknown to each other it’s always better to have a few minutes of conversation with each other.
Remember, all these starter conversations need not be a personal one and both parties should talk in such a way that everyone feels relaxed. This will help you as a model to pose for your photographer in a better way.

- Pose for Simple Portrait at the start
Start your shoot with some simple portrait shots these will help both you and the photographer to get used to the settings around. These initial portrait shots will act as a warm-up before you dive deep. It will also make you as a model and photographer confident about the next proceedings.
- Pose with different actions such as: Walking, Sitting or Standing

Remember, if you are going for a high fashion campaign these poses won’t work. High fashion poses need loads of skill and practice.
- Play a role as a model- Team up with photographer
Sometimes, simple directions aren’t enough to help your subject understand you. When that happens, you can ask them to play a role, instead. Sometimes, understanding of themes will be difficult as a model at that point photographer can come to her/ his rescue by asking to do a certain task or play a role. Asking a model to portray a certain situation like being angry with something or pleasure in doing something can help a lot.
- Try to Pose for a Natural Look
A natural look works best as body formation is crucial for poses. As a model, you can angle your body toward the camera to add some dimensions. Leaning on back foot can also help to avoid stiffness.
