p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Recommend an online posing course?


Title says it all, can anyone recommend a good online posing course? There are a few on CreativeLive, but I am just wanting to know if anyone here has any recommendations for something that they have taken.

I'm looking particularly for portrait (single person) and couples. This is an area where I've been needing to up my game and I'd love to be able to try a video course.

Thanks in advance!

30 days with Sue Bryce from creative live will cover everything you need to know.
Best course I ever invested in, hands down.

But Roberto Valenzuela's e- book on posing is worth a read also.

Thanks for the input. I watched the sample video from Roberto Valenzuela's CL class and I really like how he breaks things down. I may give that one a go. I haven't seen any of the ICE Society videos yet, but I'll take a look.

At one point there was a pretty long video of a Jerry Ghionis couples posing seminar available for free on Youtube. Search for it.

This is actually not the one I was thinking of so I guess he has multiple of these long videos online for free.

I found aspects of these interesting (they are listed in no particular order)

Hanson Fong
How to look good (liked his quirky sense of humour)



Jeff Smith
Posing for Portrait Photography: A Head to Toe Guide



Frank Dispensa
Classical Posing & Portrait Lighting



Jerry Ghionis
1)
Posing Everyone



2)
In Camera Artistry: Using Any Light Source (more general but very interesting)




A search on youtube using terms such as "posing photography" will bring up a ton of videos, lots of shorter stuff. The ones I have quoted a substantial in length, but then have time to give detail.

On my list to try out (not viewed yet, so they could be good or hopeless) are

David Terry
The Perfect Pose



Jason Lanier
How to Pose a Man using natural light

Jerry Ghionis videos on kelby training. $20 bucks a month to watch them and more. Very traditional hands on, though, if that's what you're looking for. I'll second what others have said re. Valenzuela's courses and books, excellent - but very tough to master with real people.

I've watched a ton of these, and the problem with all of them is that I simply cannot retain the information.

Lighting, technique, gear, editing - golden, watch once, and I'm good. Videos on posing? In one ear and out the other.

I think I have the same problem. Realistically, I don't expect to work exactly like any of the people in these videos, but I do hope to retain some elements and improve from it. I'm booked solid until a week off in July, so I am going to try and watch something every week and put parts of it into use that week. I may even have to re-watch some.
