Use Professional Photo Books to Show Posing Options

When you became a portrait photographer, you learned a lot of different things:

  • You learned the importance of lighting to capture the mood of a photo
  • You found tips for posing kids and families and for drawing out the smile or the serious tone that the sitting called for
  • You even discovered different ways of posing your clients so that their best assets were displayed and the features they wanted hidden was out of view

But how do you put all of this to work for you when it comes to sitting down with a client and planning the shoot? How can you best express what you do to a new client when he or she doesn’t really want to be posed?

One way is to layout a professional photo book that captures a number of the poses that your past clients have chosen - along with different backgrounds and lighting options. With it, you can better explain yourself because your clients will see for themselves what you’re talking about and they can see the setup that they think will be best for their needs.

In other words, when you’re talking with your clients, a pro photo book can be used to let them see more of what you’re able to do and get them thinking about the shoot in ways that they hadn’t before - all while showing off your best work.
