Why Your Subjects Look Stiff: Fixing Posing Problems That Actually Start With Your Lighting
I had a client cancel a rebooking last year. Not after a bad shoot, after a good one. She said she loved the images but felt “uncomfortable” during the session, and she couldn’t explain why. I spent a week thinking about that before I figured it out. She had been uncomfortable because I kept asking her to hold positions that only made sense for my light, not for her body. Every time I moved a strobe, I was silently demanding she contort herself to meet it.
