First of all, let's remember when you take photos of people your goal is to capture their best self. Which means you need to bring out - some people are natural at posing for photos - most of us are not at all! So here are the tips:
#1 - Whatever is closest to your camera is biggest - it's even more accentuated with a wide angle lens. So make sure you don't put the wrong body part first. Use it to make people look good. (ex. bigger body parts further from the camera)
#2 - For women you most likely want to bring out their S curve - looks very feminine and slims people :) To do so simply tell women to put their weight on their back leg (in ref to the camera). This simple trick changes everything.
#3 - For posing men: ask them to get busy with their hands. Hands in pocket, jacket, chin etc... looks better than with arms hanging on the side.
#4 - Stand tall - imagine you're being held by a string from the crown of your head. Will make you look stronger, more confident & taller on photos.
#5 - Chin forward and down to get rid of the double chin / too much skin )
#6 - Get people moving - ask for people to move in your shots to create dynamism and a more lifestyle-ish natural look. Also helps people who are not comfortable in front of the camera.
#7 - Have fun - seriously - have fun with the people you shoot - your shots will bring out people's personality.

Hope you enjoyed those 7 tips to pose people on camera! See you in the next video!
