How to Master Commercial Poses?

Modeling for a catalog requires basic posing suggestions, without exaggeration. A simple knee bend, a hand on the hip or a step to the side will usually suffice. It is very important not to distract attention from the clothes when trying to strike different poses.

Keep your physique as straight as possible to avoid sitting and slouching positions that will not support the garment well and may cause unwanted ripples. Poses enriched with shoulders thrown back and head tilt will be appreciated in catalog product / campaign shots. In addition to neutral expressions, happy, smiling facial expressions are also used by professional photographers in this field. Below, we have compiled some rescue pose suggestions with sample images:

Stand slightly diagonally, bring your hair to the right, touch your hair with your right arm and look at the camera.

Cross your arms loosely at the waist, stand sideways with your left knee slightly bent and tilt your head to the left.
