Brilliant thanks. Will take a look now.Hi Mark did you try the "posing ideas" app? There's lots of examples for male models on that.
Brilliant thanks. Will take a look now.
Do you know who the app is by? Seems to be several
Like any portrait.. ask yourself what you're trying to convey & take it from there.
Something which can work is to find some gestures which your model tends to do anyway - either by observing or just asking them - and turning those into poses.
fwiw I've been trying to put some of this into practice..

The stuff on lighting & retouching for different face & body shapes is useful but I find that unless the poses are something that a subject would do anyway they can look terribly forced.
In other words.. what @Nick Owen said
I've got the male one. The one on men is interesting but not terribly useful so I probably won't bother with the one on women, especially since there's a lot more free material on posing women.Do you have this book, specifically the female one? I've been looking at it. Thanks, Mandy
Male portraits are indeed thin on the ground. Is that because the majority of photographers are men?
Men are too shy - or too ugly in front of camera for anyone to share the photos they did take
In a model group on FB I advertised for anyone wanting to shoot with me, 9 replied, 1 was male. I booked with him but he canceled and didn't reappoint. Females are just so much easier
