3. Sexy Army Crawl – Boudoir Poses For Beginners
With the woman on her stomach have her bring one knee up like she would to army crawl. This will help give her butt and hip more shape. This subtle butt pose is excellent for adding additional curve to a woman’s hip line.
4. The Arched The Back – Boudoir Poses For Beginners
The arched back pose is a classic way to show of the profile of woman’s body. This pose is especially well suited to large busted women as gravity will make your bust look smaller. That said, gravity will generally make your tummy flatter too. Everything has tradeoffs, but this pose is generally flattering for most women.
5. Kick Her Hip Out – Boudoir Poses For Beginners
This pose works really well for women that have a nicely defined hourglass shape. To further enhance her figure women with this body type can exaggerate their proportions by kicking their hip to the side.
This will make their hip look bigger when compared to their waist thus exaggerating her hourglass shilloutte. The hip kick out also works really well for lean women with skinny hips that need to exaggerate their hip line. Plus size women should avoid this pose and do the next pose instead.
6. Push Her Hip Back – Boudoir Poses For Beginners
Since the rear end is a common area where women store their body fat, many women want to make this area look smaller in their pictures. In this scenario making the woman’s rear look smaller will help bring her proportions more in line.
To do this have the woman put all of her weight on her back leg and have her push her hip away from the camera. This will help make it look smaller and thus help flatter her figure with better proportions. Skinny women with narrow hips should avoid this pose.
7. Booty Pose For Beginners
One feature women love to highlight is their butt. The secret to making her booty look better in pictures is to exaggerate her hip to waist ratio by pushing one butt cheek toward the camera. This will enhance her figure by making her butt look larger in relation to her waist.
8. The High Angle – Boudoir Poses For Beginners
For some larger women, finding flattering poses can be a challenge. This is because women on the extreme end of this body type have insecurities surrounding their tummy, butt and thighs. Thus, the easiest way around this predicament is to avoid the area and instead highlight her face and chest. This pose sells well for just about all body types as it put the emphasis on her face and implies her body in a flattering way.
9. On Her knees – Boudoir Poses For Beginners
Posing the woman kneeling on a bed is a nice easy pose captured either from the front or back. When you photograph her from the back, have her lower her but in-between her feet and lean forward to put extra emphasis on her butt.From the front, have her turn her hips away from you and have her shift her hip away from the camera. Both of these poses will emphasize very different parts of her body depending on what you want to highlight, and what you want to diminish.
10. Over The Shoulder – Boudoir Poses For Beginners
The over the shoulder pose is a flattering look if you want to convey that come and get me body language. It’s also a really great pose if you’re looking for boudoir poses to hide her tummy. In any case, this pose works pretty well on just about all women because it’s both slimming and seductive. Older women may have trouble with this pose due to limited neck mobility, but most women up though middle age should be able to do this without a problem.
11. Curled Up – Boudoir Poses For Beginners
If you’re photographing your client in an area that has a nice chair our couch, have her curl up on it. This pose is really casual and easy which will feel very natural to women not used to being posed. An additional benefit to this pose is that it will allow her to bring her knees up to block her tummy if necessary.
The big trick for making this pose seductive it to pair it with a revealing top that exposes her cleavage. This is important because this curled up pose will block off her natural curves on the bottom half of her body. Thus, it’s important that she display her curves at her upper body to maintain sensuality in the photo.
How Do You Pose For A Sexy Picture?
The short answer is it depends. This is because each woman will need to be posed differently for best results. The general idea behind posing is to accentuate a woman’s natural hourglass proportions with the pose.
To do this, any region of the body brought closer to the camera will get highlighted, conversely, anything pushed away will become diminished. Therefore if the woman is worried that her butt is too big, you’ll want to direct her to shift her weight to the back leg and so she can push her butt away from the camera (as showcased in pose number 6 of this post).
Alternatively, a skinny woman with narrow hips will often benefit from an exaggerated hip line. To exaggerate narrow hips, I’ll often ask the woman to kick her hip to the side (pose number 5 of this post). This hip pop can either be done straight on or from a profile angle to enhance the woman’s hip to waist ratio.
