Does photography posing coaching exist for adults?
If so please, please, please help me find it š
I photograph appallingly. Itās a running joke in my house. I look absolutely awful. Everyone calls me Chandler (friends reference, iykyk). The frustrating thing is I donāt think I look quite this bad in real life so I think itās a technique problem rather than just a my face and body problem?
Iām at a stage in my career where Iām attending a lot of industry events and every single tagged photo of me is mortifying. I look like a very old, fat (often) shiny thumb that has just emerged from under a bridge and scuttled into the event to interact with real humans. I am at the point of wanting to dive under the nearest table whenever a photographer approaches.
Iāve tried practising poses at home in the mirror and I cannot get it right. I look alright in about 20% of them. Then when thereās a camera on me for real I turn into this: š¬šš½
Does photography posing coaching actually exist for adults? Not modelling, or for influencers, just āhow to stand like a normal human woman when a camera points at youā coaching. Ideally in person rather than a YouTube rabbit hole. Iām in London, UK.
If it matters: itās mostly standing receptions and networking events, so group and candid shots rather than formal portraits. Though a LinkedIn headshot that doesnāt make me look like Iāve recently wrestled a badger and scared it off with my face would also be a bonus.
Iām desperate for help. Tbh it would also be nice for my personal life. Both my kids are agency signed models, my husband was signed in his 20s⦠and then thereās me. I hide away whenever anyone tries to take a photo of us all or when they do, I have a little cry in secret afterwards because Iāve ruined a lovely photo of my family by being in it. Iād love to have one or two photos from my kidsā childhood where it doesnāt look like a crazed thumb lady who has infiltrated a nice, normal family.
Any recommendations or advice genuinely appreciated. I am desperate and canāt quite describe how down this is getting me.
Thank you so much.
