hey guys it's Daniel here from DLM model lifestyle I'm here with photographer Nikita I'll add a link in the description so you can check out her photos today in this video I'm gonna show you how to do male model poses for men I thought it's better to do it while we're doing the photo shoot so then you can see how it looks like in real life so let's start of the basics so what is male poses? well it's just you basically facing the camera and showing your best angles to get a good shot now the
first thing that you need to get used to is people in the background whether you're in location shoots or in the studio there's going to be some people looking at you all the time so you have to get used to this there's a lot of factors that comes into posing it's not just you it's the type of lights the type of photographer it's the location that you are playing with it's the clothes that you have on the hairstyle that you have it's a lot of things but today is just the basics so we are just
working on the basic modeling poses and what you want to do is you want to remember these angles the front angle left 45 and right 45 these are your main three angles your left side might be better or for some your right side might be better it depends on your angles but mostly you use these three angles where you look directly to the camera 45 degrees to the left and 45 to the right the second thing that you need to remember is that not everybody is so natural in front of the camera for some it
is very natural to pose in front of the camera and for some it takes a little bit of practice so don't be too hard on yourself just get used to it and then once you get those three angles down there are three different poses main poses just standing just normal standing pose and then you have walking poses as well so you can play around with it a little bit the third tip that I can give you is you add these different angles which is different kind of poses so whether you're walking or you're standing or
if you're sitting down do it in all these different angles of course there are more so you can look at the camera where Nikita is and look totally 90 degrees and add something interesting but I'll talk a lot about those kind of things later on in some other videos subscribe if you want to check those out anyway let's get back to the basic beginner male model poses so you walk stand a little bit keep different directions alright so one thing that you need to remember is the direction and angle of your face it's very important
your body has these three angles right but with your face you can look everywhere like you will look in real life so let's do a few where I just stand left 45 degrees direction look at how many different poses I can do by just changing my face and a little bit of my body you also need to remember the type of Photographer that you shoot with some shoot very fast so you need to move while they shoot and normally you hear it click sound and then you know the photo is done so you change some
photographers take a long time to focus and others they do it fast so you can just keep on moving and they get their shots in play around with your hands play with your face expressions look far look near look to the camera and play with your body you see your body and your face they play together they work together to get a good picture with the type of clothes that you have on another thing that you need to remember is if the photographer comes closer to you it usually is just upper body shot but if
they're a little bit further away you know it's a full body shot so when Nikita is close like this you have to remember to play with your expressions and keep your upper body in different directions like this it doesn't matter how you look here from this part here down sometimes you can move a lot and keep these interesting poses working with the clothes and with your hands but sometimes just normal basic poses is really good just standing and looking at different directions so there's a lot of different hand poses that you can do if the
photographer's close to you like this bring your hands up a little bit play around so these are upper body shots but if the Photographer wants to do full length shots play around with your legs do some walking poses do the type of poses that looks natural and normal don't fake them don't do this kind of weird poses just be normal and natural remember the angles, I am playing around with just these 3 angels all the time Left 45 to the camera what makes a model really good if you have big variety of model poses now
you need to learn how to pose in different directions different facial expressions with different clothes the best tip is natural is best I'm going to pose for you just natural poses without even putting my hands in my pockets or really using them I'm just gonna use the angles 45 degrees to the left to the camera 45 degrees to the right walking and standing post that's it look how that's done alright guys there you have it now you know how to do male modeling poses for beginners but before you go I just want to give a
