You want to know how to pose naturally and get all the right angles in your branding photos, right? You’re investing in your business, and want to look your best in the images. However, sometimes, it’s just plain awkward. Here are three ways you can feel more comfortable in your posing and ultimately, build trust with your clients.

1. Pose Naturally Utilize your surroundings

Camille’s branding shoot was shot in a model home. We utilized the railing, counter tops, a bed, chairs, a wall, you name it! Anytime you can rest your hands as you normally would on something in your surroundings, the photos will come across as welcoming, warm, and inviting. Also, notice how we used furniture in different ways. Just by turning a chair around, we get a totally different look from sitting in a chair as normal.

2. Pose Naturally with your product

As a Doterra Wellness Advocate, we took pictures of Camille holding the oils, applying the oils, pouring the oils and mixing the oils! If you sell a physical product, think of creative ways you can interact with it.

3. Give your hands something to do

Whether it’s flipping through a magazine, drinking a cup of coffee, or typing on your laptop, giving your hands something to do takes the pressure off!

Now that you are aware of a few ways to pose naturally, learn what to do with your hands in this post!
