THE ULTIMATE

Posing Guide for Lifestyle Personal Brand Photography

Get out of your head and be inspired with the Lifestyle Posing Guide for your next Personal Branding Photoshoot

Ever been on a shoot and completely run out of ideas on what to do next with your client?

I have... and it can be really hard to pull yourself out of the funk, right?

You find yourself going back to one note posing and end up with a collection of images that all look kinda the same, just in different locations!

If you are new to Personal Branding Photography or even if you have been at it a while

You need to mix it up for you and for your clients so your posing (and ultimately your images) don't feel stale.

Go Way Beyond a Headshot. . .

Personal Branding is one of the biggest growing genres in photography right now and it can be so much fun to create images with your clients you know will help them to share all of the amazing things that they do.

But it is important to note this goes way beyond static headshot and traditional portrait posing.

We are hired to showcase all the parts of a business owner's personality and lifestyle, as well as them at work and in action.

They want you to help them look authentic, connected & down to Earth, but CEO and all boss lady/man at the same time!

Avoid Hitting-The-Wall And Stay On Track to Deliver a WOW Collection

Sometimes in one shoot, you are are required to create a whole suite of images that look like they could have been taken across a whole year... in just one session!

Plus be the clothing stylist, lighting technician, props coordinator, location scout, driver, weather analyst... these are all the many hats you can find yourself wearing during a photoshoot.

So it's no wonder sometimes you can completely hit a wall and run out of ideas of what poses to get your clients into to add variety & dynamic range to their final collection.

I've found that posing is the number one thing that freaks many photographers out when it comes to making the switch into Personal Branding.

The Perfect Launchpad to Create Lifestyle Images That Feel Natural to the Space You Are In

In the Ultimate Posing Guide I share examples of how to give your clients specific activities to do.

Then you can achieve variety and dynamic range for them to retell and share their own stories in their marketing, socials and promotions.

They are all intended to go to work and get a specific reaction from the viewer when used correctly within your clients websites, social media and other marketing material!

All of the poses in the guide though are intended to help to free you up creatively so you can serve your clients better, and in turn increase your sales dramatically.
