How to find better poses in your next photograph.

Better Poses in Photography

In art class I learned the rules of line.

·          A vertical line makes the viewer feel solid, firmness.



·         A Horizontal line gives the feeling of rest, stillness, stagnant














·         A diagonal line feels like action and activity; the steeper the diagonal, the faster and stronger the activity.














·         S curves in Greek and Roman art demonstrate and show the female figure



So, in your next photograph, watch the lines and use them to say what you want to say.  And when in doubt, action trumps inaction.

What are your thoughts?  I would love to hear your comments
