Posing is something that can make or break a portrait.

  • Do it badly and your subject looks awkward and the resulting image is spoiled (and quickly deleted).
  • Do it well and your subject will be at ease and their true character will shine through.

As a portrait photographer (at any skill level) it’s your job to make sure the people in your viewfinder are positioned perfectly and comfortable in front of the camera.

Experienced portrait photographers all have a set of ‘go to’ poses for any situation and have their own ‘way’ of ensuring the people in their portraits are as relaxed and natural possible. Over years and years they’ve experimented, learned what works, what doesn’t. The problem is that this wisdom often sits in the back of their mind, hidden from view…

Not anymore!

Today you’re about to get your hands on the posing secrets of  super talented portrait photographer Gina Milicia.  With more than 25 years experience taking stunning pictures of people, she’s going to share with you the portrait posing tips and tricks  she’s used on royalty, rockstars and supermodels.

We’re not talking here about wildly unnatural poses, we talking about natural poses you can use with anyone, at any time.

What you’ll discover in this eBook

Gina often talks about giving your portraits heart and soul and from the very first chapter you’ll discover she’s put both in every single page of this eBook. Everything she knows about posing is right there at your fingertips

Best of all it’s actionable, it’s inspiring and will help you become  a much better portrait photographer, no matter what your level of experience.
