Looking for glamour photography poses that’ll give stunning results?
In this article, I’m going to share glamour pose ideas. You’ll find a pose or two for every model – and you can also have fun tweaking the ideas to fit your subject’s interests.
Now, some of the ideas below are nude poses – after all, posing for nudes is a part of glamour photography. But if nudes don’t interest you, that’s completely okay; feel free to skip past.
So, without further ado, let me share the poses you can use for your glamour portraits, starting with:
1. Lying down sideways
This is a good starting pose for intimate glamour shots. It works well in different settings and with different surfaces; for instance, your model might lie on a bed, on the ground, in the grass, or on a sandy beach.
Make sure you get a nice head turn and pay careful attention to the position of your model’s hands.
2. Lying down at an angle
This is a variation on the previous glamour pose, and one that works well with all body types.
Simply ask your model to lie on the ground with their far elbow propping up their head and shoulders. Make sure they angle themselves toward the camera so that their feet are farther from the camera than their head.
3. Lying parallel to the camera with the legs up
This is a lovely pose with a more playful result. Ask the model to keep her upper body lifted, with her head tilted toward the camera and directed slightly down.
Make sure your model’s legs are up – and make sure her toes are pointed over her back.
And for the best results, shoot from a low angle.
