Guy Model Poses Biography

Get the guy in his element. Meaning, against cars, motorcycles, dirt bikes.. the stereo-typical props for - guys.. Heavy equipment, tools, construction (any kind). Have shirt off if he is good and buff. Skateboards, bicycles, up against a pin ball or stand up video game machine.Spray bottle with water, make him look sweaty in some shots. Gloves, different hats from construction hard hats to motorcycle, gansta' dews...
Temp tattoos.. Not large colorful things but all black and mostly Celtic ruins. Use talc powder to tone them down and not look glossy.Angles. Get lighting to show off his chest and abs. How about his back and back side..? A lot of guys fancy their butt too, and you girls look...! In a controlled lighting area use low key lighting to further enhance his arms, chest, stomach... etc..! Black background, single side light, body oil.. You get the idea. Maybe YOU apply the oil..?!The list is actually endless and with costume rentals in most cities you have a large supply of "looks" you can cultivate.
Face looks. Now were getting into harder areas. You may suggest things, like lasers coming out of his eyes or such, but HE is going to have to dig deep with-in him self and become an actor, with your prompting him.
For faces to fit poses you may have to say things like think of winning a million bucks. Think of your dog dieing. Think of what it would be like to be Einstein.. Now you, as the photographer better be ready to snap and snap fast because sometimes the best look is the one they give letting the question sink in and you get the face in action as they ponder the question. The "next" face usually given is the exaggerated face of them now trying to - look - that way... Understand..?My brother is an aspiring actor/model. He's really, really handsome, slim, nice angled jaw, manly eyebrows (it's thick, but it's manly thick) and he looks great in pictures. But he lacks experience with the poses. I initially taught him to stare into the camera with emotion. Like he's staring right into your soul. It works great on him. But now.. I'm wondering if there are more tips. Ladies: What makes a guy look hot in pics?? And guys, any tips on how to achieve the following looks: boyish look, boy-next door, bad boy/misunderstood look, player look...Following the previous article on posing when photographing female subjects (update: see below for a complete set of posing guides for kids, couples and more), let’s look at some starting points with men photography. Men are usually less comfortable in process of being photographed, so it’s important to get him to be at ease with the process in order to get good results.It is always a good idea to prepare before the photo shoot. Just one more peace of advice – involve your subject in the process! He will feel more confident knowing the plan, what he has to “do” and what kind of outcome is expected. Showing this kind of posing cheat sheet to your model is indeed a very good way to prepare your subject for a photo shoot and make him feel more relaxed and confident at the same time.
So, let’s look at some sample poses for men.
1. Very simple pose for a man’s portrait: An upper body shot with crossed arms. Two things to take care of: Shoulders should be pulled back a little, stomach muscles kept in check.
2. Crossed arms works very well in full height shots as well. In addition, ask him to cross one leg in front of the other. But make sure the body weight is not supported equal on both legs, otherwise that would look just awkward!
3. A recurring question from your subject might be “Where shall I put my hands?” The solutions is actually quite simple. There are four places to keep in mind (mixed in any combination utilizing both hands). #1. Loosely by the side. #2. On the hips. #3. In the pockets. #4. Both hands crossed on the chest. And in addition – hands should always be relaxed, which means no muscle pressure, except you are photographing a bodybuilder
4. A casual pose for an uprightly standing man. Men indeed have a problem with placing their hands, by keeping them fully or partly in the side pockets, you have a sure way to achieve natural and relaxed pose.
5. Just a slight variation to the previous pose. Some piece of clothing over the shoulder, merely a thumb in the pocket, and legs crossed work very well.
6. For a sitting pose, putting the ankle of one leg onto the knee of the other looks relaxed and natural. Shoot slightly from above.
7. Leaning against a wall is just another variant for upright posing.
8. The sideways way of leaning against the same wall. Works very well for both casual and formal shots.
9. Very simple pose for a formal portrait. Items held in the hand (e.g. a laptop, books, or even tools) can work as insignia that point at the subject’s occupation.

Critics Review Genre: Nonfiction Reviewed by Kevin R. Tipple The author examines and explains how the beauty of the human body can be captured through different types of cameras by photographers of different proficiency levels. Detailed information includes sections on composition, posing, photographers, and focusing the mind for each shoot. This book is for the model who is in the beginning, intermediate and advanced stages (or levels) striving to make a career out of modeling. (Introduction, Page 1) In this recent release from Xlibris, male model Jason Aaron Baca recounts his first days as a model all the way to his current status when the book was published. Through pictures and small sections of accompanying text, he touches on his experiences with various photographers and various locations. Some of the anecdotes are amusing while others reflect his early painful naivetĂ© about the business. Through the ages we learn his reactions and experiences as well as the personal preferences of some photographers in terms of posing their subjects. Some wanted to take different than the norm type of shots where, for example, one wanted to photograph him falling off a couch while holding a wine cooler. Others wanted a more traditional shot. Then there are the explanations of where the author tells of having a hard time because he was sleepy, hungry, or whatever. In so doing, he recounts his journey to his ultimate goal of appearing in Playgirl Magazine. While interesting, the work never comes re motely close to reaching any of the goals noted in the introduction. We never learn the promised detailed information cited in the introduction. Instead, this work comes across as more of a pictorial scrapbook look at the past bundled with a promotional marketing tool for the present. While that is perfectly acceptable, the book does very little to help other models and instead serves more as a recorded history of one male model´s experiences. Inherently, that does have value on some level but falls very short of the expectations set by the introduction. Mini biography Jason began his short film career in Nash Bridges in 1996. He continued acting and residing in the Bay Area before moving on to modeling. He was discovered by a photographer on location for "I Know what you did Last Summer" where he had been doubling for Freddie Prinze Jr. Jason went on to pose for some of today´s top magazines including Industry , Men´s Workout, Men´s Fitness, YMLA Magazine, Hong Kong Silk, Joe Boxer Int., For Women UK, InStyle Magazine, Playgirl and many others. He has been linked to actress Jennifer Love Hewitt as well as a former Miss Florida.In a world of fashion that has been dominated by women--from the British Twiggy of the 1960s to the multi-ethnic Naomi Campbell of today--Tyson Beckford was not only the first black male "supermodel," he was the first male supermodel. As Scott Poulson-Bryant wrote in Vibe, "Fabulous females like Christy [Turlington], Linda [Evangelista] and Naomi [Campbell] used to epitomize the world of high fashion. That was until a brother bum-rushed the menswear show." In fact Beckford has become big enough that he is now primarily known as Tyson. Ralph Lauren, one of the biggest fashion designers and clothing manufacturers of the 1980s and 1990s, attributes Tyson's success to his "all-American look with a dramatic edge. He conveys power, style and intelligence in a very exciting way."Tyson's current wealth and high visibility are not the result of a privileged background. He was born in the Bronx to parents of Jamaican descent. He points out that the exotic cast to his features comes from a Chinese grandparent. Soon after he was born, his mother took the family back to Jamaica where they stayed until he was seven. Coming back to New York City, they first lived upstate before returning to Harlem, where Tyson still maintains a residence.
Bethann Hardison, Tyson's agent, credits his mother with a large part of Tyson's success, saying that she raised him to be unusually sensitive. His mother worked for a time as a fashion model. Realizing her son's extraordinary charisma from a young age, she dragged him with her from one runway show to another. Despite his mother's influence, he was not immune to the usual tensions of growing up poor in the ghetto. Never disowning his past, he admits that he lived a wild life, sometimes running with a dangerous crowd and often courting trouble. He even spent a night in jail for stealing a car, though the charges were reduced.
