Transitional Posing

Transitional posing is shooting in a series of subtle soft movements that create a series of fluid images.

After teaching dozens of workshops using my Transitional Posing method and hearing from my students that posing was the most important thing they wanted to learn, I decided it was time for a guidebook.

Transitional Posing sounds like a complicated concept, but it really an easy method. The idea is to keep your clients moving, and not realizing that they are really posing. No one likes posing. No one likes being posed. Posed portraits carry with them the image of being stiff, reserved, and formal. Also, a little stuffy and out of date.

Everyone wants the casual images that make them look natural, relaxed and beautiful. But our natural, relaxed selves are not photogenic or visually pleasing. When we are relaxed, our shoulders are usually hunched, our chins pull back and we develop bad posture. Bellies bulge and thighs inflate; little flaws become obvious.

So is that what people want when they say they want natural, un-posed images? Of course not. They want to see their amazing sculpted figures, defined chins and toned thighs. So you as the photographer need to do that for them. And I’m not talking about plastic surgery, Botox, or Photoshop. I’m talking about posing.

In this guide I will show you simple posing transitions for pregnancy portraits. You will see how you can start with one pose and then slowly evolve it into a series of poses all through a continual process of movements and adjustments.
