Featured Review:
“It was definitely a good match. I am trying to set up my own home studio and it is the second course I take with her. I love how clearly she explain things with German accent and easy going smiling kind manners. I am learning a lot cause when I don’t have a professional model but a couple, or a mum or kids or families, it is not so easy for me to pose them 🙂 this course helps to still get the images you want” – Alexandra Grippa
Hi and Welcome to our course The Ultimate Posing Flow For Portrait Photographers!
This is Part 2 of our posing series “Posing Like A Pro” – join us in the photography studio for live sessions where we put everything you learned in Part 1 into practice! Or if you already have a little experience, then jump right in here.
BONUS: Includes PDF sheets with almost 1500 poses for you to download and take to your shoots! Also: Closed Captions are available!
In our photo studio we have led over 50 photography workshops so far, specializing in creating conceptual photoshoots. And knowing how to pose a model or client is a big part of a successful shoot. I realized that most of my students were really savvy about photography techniques and new technology but started to freeze when they had to pose the model.
One of the most important skills that you will need to develop as a portrait photographer is being able to direct your subjects into the right pose. It will make your model or client feel natural, and your photography session will flow.
At the end of this course, you will know how to pose your clients and models for the most flattering pictures. If you watched my tutorial ‘posing like a pro’ or if you have already learned the foundations of posing for portrait photography, this course takes those lessons even further by bringing you into my studio where you can watch how I put it all together into a real shoot to create the ‘posing flow’.
To give you a real life experience, I will show you how I work with a model versus a couple that never stood in front of the camera. None of the shoots are rehearsed with the exception that I briefed our model Rebecca to bring some different wardrobe items for variety. This means you will see realistic posing problems and questions that your client or model might have, and how I communicate with them to bring them into the right pose.
The entire tutorial is shot from my point of view, so you are more than just a fly on the wall – you see everything almost exactly as if you were behind the camera! Each time I take a shot, the image is overlaid so you can see the result straight away. There is no post production on them – they are ‘SOOC’ – straight out of camera with the exception that they are cropped in ACR. Sometimes I’ve also adjusted the white balance because different styles of image look best when they are warmer or cooler in tone.
In this course you will learn:
-
How to pose models and clients – females, males, and couples.
-
Standing vs sitting poses, and tips for slimming bigger clients
-
How to quickly create different styles to offer more variety and enhanced sales: from headshots, beauty, dreamy, fashion, edgy, and more.
-
Getting creative with concepts such as my trademark ‘lying on the floor’ setup
-
How to modify your communication style for experienced models vs regular clients
-
How to create an amazing experience and have fun while still getting the shot
One point to keep in mind as I will be covering a lot of detail that may seem impossible to get right all the time: don’t worry about the perfect pose, because it’s hard even for “super-pros” to achieve a “100%” perfect result – and if in doubt it’s always ‘Emotions Over Posing”. However if you are interested in knowing why a client maybe didn’t buy certain images due to things they didn’t like about themselves then our tutorial will tell you all about how you can best flatter your client.
This course is for the beginner to intermediate portrait photographer who is looking for a practical hands on approach to learning how to create a posing flow so that they will never run out of ideas again!
So if you are interested in seeing me in action, go ahead and watch some previews! Or if you want to develop your posing flow to the highest standard: Enroll now and let’s get started in creating your best pictures ever! See you soon!
P.S : Closed Captions are available, so you can either listen or read (or both) to my posing instructions! Have fun!
Who this course is for:
- The beginner to intermediate photographer who wants to expand their portrait skills

Angela Ostlund –
I really enjoyed this course. I watched the first part of Posing Like a Pro, which gave a lot of information but did not really show much in practice (if you do not know much about posing, this first part is essential to watch first). This course is all about putting it all together and using that information in a hands-on way. I am a beginner at studio photography, but have watched a lot of tutorials and webinars about posing, so I knew a fair amount already (conceptually anyway). This course was incredibly useful to me because I could watch these concepts in practice to help cement it all in my brain. Reading about posing and watching people talk about it is not the same as watching the shoot in action. I loved the creative shots too (the window shots and the ones with the colored gels).

Thomas Jobs –
Course is very helpful but doesn’t work sometimes on the iPad. When coming back to the course the screen is sometimes black while still hearing the voice part. Had to restart the course too often because of that.

everything explained in a simplified way with examples…Liked the lighting part too and the summarization at the end.
Ron Whitaker –
Fantastic course. I’m enjoying every minute! Sandy is wonderful! I’m not off to take her vintage photography course!
Scott CJ McKelvie –
Very informative with a lot of great examples seeing first hand how couples are shot and even a model, showing the contrasting difference and the possibilities of poses that show what to do and what not to do. The course thus far has been fantastic and already feel a lot more knowledgeable on the subject than when I began the course material.

It’s really good to see & hear the photographer (Sandy) in action and listen to her giving constant directions to her clients. I originally thought that by just ~ ‘Watching her do her thang!’ ~ That, that would’ve been a complete waste of time! However, now having watched & listened to her, I can honestly say that yes, you soon get used to it and not only that but it gives you a much better idea of how we should be interacting with our model.
Edwin Rogers –
I mainly work with female models so the first part of the course was very informative. The couples and male model posing did not interest me all that much although I did watch most of it and skipped through the rest of it.
The lighting set up was the same throughout the course and would have liked to see more creative set ups with
several more lights added then comparing the results on how each set up looked. Overall an enjoyable course but room for improvement. The bonus posing Pdf resource was very good.
