WOW! Great feedback everyone So, hand position (something I stuggle with..
and a million other things) With his hand being displayed would the image be more forceful/confident? Or, would the back of the hand/s draw unwanted attention? Steve is a realtor... not sure if this helps with the posing... I think (could be wrong) you would want a less agressive look to the shots?
Good stuff!
Thanks for the great comments all.

You aren\'t necessarily looking for \"aggressive\" in all kinds of business portraits, but you certainly want confidence. Any photo that you\'re going to use for marketing should convey a sense of calm confidence, or assertiveness. You don\'t want to make him look like a UFC fighter on his card or site, unless he is one and your photos will be used to promote him as such... but surely you do, in this case, want to have your images promote him as a confident realtor.
Does that make better sense? I didn\'t mean to come across like you\'ve got to prove his manhood, or make him look aggressive. My point is that for business promotion I\'d think you\'d want to present him as confident in himself and what he does. Just my $.02... Maybe I\'m wrong, but that\'s how I\'d approach the shoot.
