"Just slay" is as elusive for me as the "be sexy" is for others lol. I'm like, trying to conjure SLAY but instead I get helpless and existential depression at the state of the world. So it's more like "siiiiiiiigh" than "slay" 😅

This is the most useful and informed advice on posing I've seen. I particularly love that unlike most posing guides, the advice wasn't about looking prettier or thinner. It was about creating interesting images while bringing a more genuine expression of our mood or feeling. Thanks so much for sharing ETA: Also, it seems every male photographer translates "sexy expression" for women as "squint your eyes and partially open your mouth." That's the Meagan Fox pose (that woman has her moutj open in so many photos I began to wonder if she had a condition that prevented her from fully closing her mouth). That right there is up there with the peace sign pose as the most overused. And it also frames female sexuality under the literal male gaze, instead of tapping into what makes that particular woman feel sexy. Like maybe one woman feels sexy when she feels strong, so showing a feeling of strength is going to bring that sexy out of her. I appreciate that you didnt use traditional or sexist ideas of posing "sexy."

I just want to say I love what you do when it comes to expressions. Yes, it might be more ideal to have a more specific guide- but lets be honest: when people (even successfully) mimic an expression and vibe, but don't fully mean or feel it, you can see it in their eyes. You can feel it. *But* when people express what they genuinely feel, we are able to connect to them and even feel drawn to them- because it's REAL. *What you do is go straight to the core of that person, and make them manifest what is real to them.* THIS goes perfectly with what you do and and your brand because it genuinely brings out that person as an individual. Another example: What I express as "feeling sexy" (to me) may be expressed completely differently by someone else. But when you get a good picture of us both doing it genuinely, you can tell what it is despite the differences. You do that for people, and I think that's important in this obsessively "Self expressive" yet fake Insta culture on the internet where everyone feels the need to be someone else and yet "be themself". Seriously, man. What you and your team does is *WAY* beyond impressive. I'm poor as heck at the moment but I plan to work my butt off to one day get a photoshoot with you guys. I have a photoshoot planned since a year ago and I think you guys are the *perfect* people to make it come to life. I also want to use it to let people to see what you do and let the positive effect ripple out. *Keep it up my guy. You have all my support!* P.S. Me who doesn't (currently) use Insta or TikTok at the intro after "What are you doing on KZitem?": 👁👄👁💧💧💧

Yours is hands down the best and gives real tips instead of BE NATURAL or MAKE TRIANGLES!!! This is so basic (in a good way) and understandable, especially with the examples. And posing points - GODSEND. Now I will be making triangles AND sinuses. Not to mention your presence is so cool I actually want to listen to you. Great video!

But as soon as it comes time to take new head shots, I tense up and become stiff and unnatural. I have been working on posing by myself for a few months and I find myself employing some of these techniques but seeing you break them down is very helpful. Also, I did a spit take when the puppy told you to be sexy. Fantastic

I've liked, commented and subscribed because you asked and because you come across so natural. You asked us to be natural and you give us a great example of that authenticity. So many people try to copy what they think is "natural" because they see it work for other people. All that does is make everyone look and sound the same. The harder we try to find our true selves, the easier it is to express it on camera, and that's when people start to connect with us.

Thank you so much, David! I have never seen posing explained so well. I'm a fashion model working in Paris, and I'm often asked by my friend to "teach them" how to pose, and I never know what to tell them! This really helps. Sometimes ago I was invited by Coco Rocha to follow her online class on posing and I admit I did feel like the posing explanation didn't make much sense because it lacked this coherence of 7 posing points! Not saying she's not great at teaching posing, Coco has nothing to prove, it's probably due to the short time we have in the online class to cover so many topics. A few weeks ago I had a photographer (and he was a pro not one of these creepy guys with camera) tell me "be sexy" "be sensual" and you're depiction of a reaction was my exact reaction! Despite all my years of experience modeling I just froze and felt as unsexy as ever! Thank you for bringing that up, David! Also... how come you're so gorgeous? Like seriously you're a model ;) Thank you for the awesome and such caring content you bring out in this world!

Hey David! I'm a big fan of your work, and I constantly reference you to my friends as a positive force in the photography community. I love how on TikTok and Instagram instead of replying to a hate comment, you refreame their perspective, making it into a lesson with no "bad guy." However on KZitem I think your video titles send a mixed signal. I didn't click on this out of a positive feeling, but out of fear of judgement from you and others, that I might be making a mistake. I love your work, and appreciate everything you've done and are doing to help people. You and your team are wonderful, have a fantastic day :)
