I'm gonna have you put your hand on your thigh. So in this case, leg up, that lunge is going to be the same. Actually, let's do the same leg up, but I'm gonna have him turn away from camera more. Alright, so for this next pose, let's do the. If this is the pose that you choose, remember, varying your light, changing the angles, is gonna draw attention to different parts of the body. (camera clicking) (camera clicking) Great. (camera clicking) And then I'm gonna have you look your head this direction. And bring your hands, just, this way just a little. Shoulders, turn a little bit more that way. So that's why I keep, generally, having him bring them back towards camera just a bit. You control the broadness or the dominance of the subject in the frame by their shoulders. So if you look at the shoulders, he looks much narrower. The other reason I'm having him turn back towards camera, is if he turns totally to this side, I'll have you turn to your left more, just keep going right there. It'll also have him narrow a little bit at the waist. So by having him lean his torso towards the camera, it'll make him look a little bit broader, a little bit wider. Now one of the reasons I'm having him lean his torso towards me, is whatever is closest to the camera appears largest. (camera clicking) (camera clicking) And I'm gonna have you lean back that way just a little bit and then lean your torso towards me. So let me grab this shot first for my essential pose #1. I've got triangles created by his torso, and then also I've created the triangle from his knee.
So this is going to be something that you would see over and over again in a sculpture. And lean your torso back towards me just a little bit. So first, can you try to lean out on your knee just little bit? Great. And I'm gonna make triangles, or stronger lines, with the arms there. So for the first shot, I'm gonna have you turn your torso towards me. So I'm trying to keep that in mind as well. If he kinda hunches in to something too much, it makes the subject look a little bit weaker. The first pose I'm gonna have you do, I'm gonna have you lean out a little bit, and the whole time I'm focusing on having good posture and elongation. I usually bend whatever leg is closest to the camera and that helps to center your subject. And I'm gonna have you put your right knee up. However, raising one foot out, leaning out, puts the feet and the knees at different levels, and hence a more interesting photograph. So just standing to the side, doesn't make for an interesting pose. Now one of the things I talked about when posing women, that any time there are two of anything, feet, legs, knees, arms, anything, if you put them at differing angles, one higher or one lower, it makes for a more dramatic shot. If I just have him standing there, it's not quite as dramatic, it's that lunge that will give me that.
And so this will give me more dramatic, dynamic angles with the legs. Alright, so for this first pose, what I'm gonna have him do, is I'm gonna have him lean out and lunge. So I'm going to cover five different poses that I use most often. So those are the types of things you want to be thinking about when you're photographing the male nude form. Triangles created by the positions of the arms. So most of these poses, as you look at them, you will see right angles to the arms, or more drama. Unlike what you'll see when you're photographing the female nude form, where you're focusing more on curves and line and arch. And as I look at the Greek sculpture, one of the things you'll see over and over again, is you see structures and you see triangles. When I'm choosing these poses, one of the reasons I've selected them is, a lot of my inspiration has come from Greek sculpture.
But I thought it would be useful to give you a couple of the poses that I use most often when photographing the male nude form.
The lighting that you've chosen, and it's actually an interplay in between the light, the pose, and your concept. The physique of your subject, like the build of their body. Now the poses that you choose for your particular shoot may vary from these, because in a shoot, it's going to depend on a couple of things. So now we're going to talk about some go-to, or classical, men's poses. Classic Poses for Nude Male (contains nudity)
