[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 307509, member: 1061"] Winnah winnah, chicken dinnah! Good eye, Jack. The rules of good portraiture aren't just for the studio. [INDENT]1) Head tilt - There is a masculine and feminine version. Women tilt towards the camera, men away from. 2) Body turn - A slight turn at the waist, even when sitting, creates a more natural look. 3) Arm placement - If it bends, bend it. Straight arms look bad. Women should always do something with their hands. 4) Leg placement - When sitting, one foot should be higher than the other.[/INDENT] Some of this stuff will feel awkward to the subject. It seems odd that so much posing has to go into making a "natural" look, especially for a casual pose like this one. [/QUOTE]
