Posing and Pinterest

The word that drives fear and dread even into the most seasoned of camera-ready female entrepreneurs.

We are bombarded with images on Pinterest and Influencers on social media with these effortless poses, pouting lips and Diana esq fluttering eyes.

It’s all smoke and mirrors.

There I said it, it’s an illusion created by the creative directors or photographers to get the best out of their subjects all of whom are MODELS and do this for a living. It’s the way they can sell their art and their photography by using people who know how to create the shapes with their bodies and faces and know their best angles and which is their “best side”.

Don’t be fooled into thinking you will get exactly what you put on your brand shoot mood board because frankly it won’t happen.

You and I, we aren’t these women. We have our beautiful quirks and boobs and wobbly bits and things we love and things we hate and to be honest this is what makes us incredible.

Mood boards are a great starting point and I get all my wonderful clients to choose the things they like or that inspires them which in turn gives me ideas. I will always try my best to bring to life what you have envisaged on them, but I work with how I see you and how your body/face works best in particular situations. Because what may work for one person won’t for another.

So, when you are putting your brand shoot board together forget the over-done posing images because it’s my job to guide you the best way that suits you and your body. I’ll be the one leading the way and yes it will feel weird and scaring but I can promise you this, you’ll feel empowered and bold, these models have nothing on you!!!
