I FEEL LIKE I NEED TO BE PAYING FOR THIS
nice girl photographer
Great video! Posing… Sorry, directing, is one of the most challenging aspects of portraiture for me. And since all of my "models" are friends and family, this is perfect for me. Can't wait to try out these tips.
What kind of camera are you shooting with ?
Sweet vdo guys. Thanks
I just wanted to take a minute to say, Mango Street is an AMAZING page! I’m in film school now for Directing, and your page has bridged the gap on sooooooooo many things I’m learning. And for that I say THANK YOU!
Also, your chemistry and teaching style is fun creative, and straight to the point which I love and a appreciate.
Keep up the great work, and if you’re ever in Chicago and need some extra hands, or if you need some extra hands wherever, let me know I’d love to soak up the knowledge!
0:35 that shot is so nice I really love it
must be nice to have friends.
Just can't take this rich daddy's girl, bimbo, pretending to know about real photography seriously at all.
Wow very cool short with great tips! Thanks!
“ here I told her our parents had her by accident “ 😂😂

great video. simple but very helpful
I wish I knew how to apply these tips to self portrait photography. I have no friends who'd take pictures of me because I'm always the photographer so self portraits are the only way I can have some good pictures of myself.
Notes
1. Straight lines for more brashness, masculinity and S-curves for femininity
2. Direct instead of pose. Give your model directions and instruction, give her a role to play or an emotion to depict. It's easier for newbees and it makes them feel more of an equal.
3. Capture motion. Tell your subject to portray an action (eg mess with your hair, walk in place, jump), so the portrait can come to life. Capture the photo mid-action.
All my friends are poser so im good
My friend is black….
Here I told her my parents had her on accident….SAVAGE 🤣🤣
I AM FRICKING IN LOVE WITH THE WAY YOU EDIT YOUR PHOTOS

went back to watch old videos in this channel…I miss those type of videos Mango street used to do. Their recent videos just does not interest me at all. RIP Mango street 2017-2017 :/
Almost every video I see on how to pose people for portraits they are all on the skinny side. Can you do a video for the best way to pose someone who is thicker?
