Series Summary

Photography is the practice of making images by exposing film or another medium to a timed flash of light…yet it’s so much more than that.

Photographers take pride in their work; it is purposeful, informative, and creative.

Video Transcript

" Hello, I’m Chris Conklin on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this segment we are going to be talking about flattering poses, the difference between candid and actual pose, the postures, the positions…the postures and positions that are actually appropriate for the subject that you are filming, as well as creating that vision that you set out to get. Different types of postures and poses include things like leaning and slouching movements of the body. Subjects are not mind readers. They need to know what you are thinking and what your vision is. So you need to explain to them and tell them exactly what it is that you are looking for. This applies both indoor and outdoor. What kind of backgrounds we are using, what kind of props that you have available, what kind of mood and attitude and personality that you are trying to capture. "
