Exercise - varying the pose

I've cut out several images from magazines that demonstrate different poses, positions and poses that suggest confidence, attitude, silliness, seduction, stress and emotions

I attempted to copy the poses I found in the magazines with my daugher

The magazine cutting on the left shows a pose that involves the subject in a turned away pose, looking back over the shoulder with the hand on the hip, adding the other hand to the side of the face. This is probably quite a grown up pose and one that could possibly be best suited to subjects over a certain age.

This magazine clipping is very posed, the intention behind the pose is a happy and fun, this isn't a pose to adopt easily, I needed to encourage Sophie to relax and pose how she felt comfortable.

This magazine clipping shows the subject with hands on hips, a tilted body and a non-smiling head on a tilt. I reminded Sophie to adopt an expression showing attitude, which I think she managed quite well
What I learned from this exercise was that the posture, limb positions, head position and facial expression demonstrate the 'feel' of the image and reflect what is being described or advertised.
