Posing, framing and producing content that converts and retains.
Was asked recently by one of the top sites to review their site. So did so in terms of the content. Also by a couple of the up and coming sites. The reviews I did and still doing were sent to the owners so they could improve their content.
So here's some basic tips for shooters to improve the appeal of their content.
Posing for stills. There are 26 basic solo poses. Shoot them while the model is dressed, undressing and naked will give easily double the number of shots to 52. Making her turn 45 degrees to the left or right for each of them will double it again 104. Shooting her looking at the camera and away will add another 20 shots. Shooting some with half body will add a few more. Shooting close ups a few more. The shooter moving from side to side of his key lights will change the back ground and add a few more. In fact shooting a set of 200 different poses/images is easy if you know how.
So shooting a set with the same pose over and over again is unforgivable and amateur in the terms of the shooter not having a clue.
The same goes for girl/girl and boy/girl. The poses are different, the need for variation is paramount.
To solve this is easy. What ever niche you're shooting make up a posing book. Two folders of clear plastic pages in which can be inserted 2 pictures back to back. Arranged in progression from start to finish. These folders can bought at any good stationary store. Or you could store the images on a lap top and display them with ACDSee.
