Before We Start.
Pockets
Empty them!
Where to look
Not at the camera, unless you hear “look at the camera”! Focus on her. Focus on him.
Movement
Photos look way more dynamic when there is motion. So walk, hug, sway, kiss, laugh, dance. It doesn’t have to be big motions every time, but your photos will come to life if you keep moving.
Hands
If you don’t know what to do with your hands; hands on partner. And let’s take it one step further. It’s all about the hands. Hands add intimacy and drama to the photos so keep your hands close to his chest, close to her face. Pull on his collar as you bring him in closer. Brush the hair out of her face as you bring her in closer.
Adore Him; Adore Her
The more you admire each other and think about how much you love each other, the more we’re going to see it in the photos.
Not completely comfortable in front of the camera?
This list is made up of prompts, which means less posing and more interacting. It’s about coming up with things you and your partner can do, instead of pose, while in front of the camera. And maybe you can even forget that your photographer is there!
