"Posing Curvy Women - No Photoshop Required"

March 19th, 2014
I've put the title in quotes because that is how it was sent to me by MCP Actions - trust me, I am not being sexist here (if they ever do the same for "curvy" men then I shall have no qualms about posting that)

A lot of it seems like common sense.

Cheers

This is awesome!! Thank you Paul. I personally feel if you are into photographing people you should honestly feel that every person is beautiful. Our job is showing that beauty to world!

That was great. Thanks

Great article! Makes sense once it's pointed out. Thanks for sharing!

Not a woman alive who wouldn't appreciate these tips - curvy or not!

Thanks for that!

I got this article this morning too...we must subscribe to the same lists and email services! :)

It is a great article...and to Dawn's @acloserlookpbd comment, I see everyone as beautiful. I am a people photographer, and you have to believe that everyone has a spark of something. I love getting silly, making people laugh, and then capturing them right before they go back into their "pose". To me, people are most "alive" when they are laughing!

@thomastoth Agreed about catching folks before they try to "act naturally". Not all of us are models and can turn it on when required.

How to pose a curvy woman ... Hide her behind a high fence ?! The first picture in this article is kind of a weird choice, but the actual article is a good read and the tips apply to all body sizes and both genders. Good stuff!

Thank you! I'm going to break out the wireless trigger & tripod so I can test these out on myself before trying them on clients.

@janim I had the same reaction to that first shot! :-)
March 19th, 2014
@l2lumom I'd love to see the results.

I wish the chap that did our promotional shots for work has read this.... :0)

As a curvy woman myself I appreciate this article. I even briefly considered trying it out with a selfie - but then I thought better of it.
March 19th, 2014
Nice...they look awesome!

I learned a lot of this on CreativeLive but this is a super article and so nice to have a static run-down to refer to. Thanks for the link Paul.

@janim lol - that'll be my choice for the next selfie - higher fence in fact....
