Posing and Directing Information

Genuine Emotion & Meaningful Images.

This class will teach you how to create natural, genuine and emotionally rich images while making your couples feel comfortable, and giving them a fun, memorable experience. You’ll learn how to direct in a way that allows the couple’s dynamic to come through in the images, while creating a ton of posing variety in your work. Posing is so much more than cue cards, and everything I’ve learned about it is in this class.
