Today I bring you no more and no less than 60 examples of poses for photos of men.
And it is that portraits are one of the creative branches with the most followers in photography.
If we combine the social being that we are with our photographic passion, it is very possible that the portrait will catch your attention.
Although the woman has been the clear protagonist for many years of all kinds of works of art, the figure of the man has made its way into photography.
It is increasingly common to see male poses, not only advertising certain brands, but also individual sessions.
Male portraiture is booming, so if you don't know where to go and you like this type of photography, it may be an idea to explore :).
Therefore, in this article I will show you 60 posesof man so that you have the inspiration you need for your photos:
- Standing
- supported
- Seated
- Jumping
MALE STANDING POSES
It is up to you to determine what kind of image you want and what you want your models to convey.
The most common images convey strength, decision or success. They are topical themes associated with the figure of man that are still being exploited with enthusiasm today.
It is up to you to decide if you want to express other feelings such as indecision, sadness, tenderness, fear, etc.
Dare to explore everything that is out of the usual topic associated with the male sex.
You can do it through the pose, the look, the expression and the light.
Standing man poses are the most common, but allow you to be creative with background, lighting, body position, gaze, clothing, or gesture.
SUPPORTED MAN POSES
The poses where the man appears leaning on some surface are more relaxed poses.
They have the power not only to relax the model but also to convey it in the image.
If your model is nervous, doubts how to position herself or you don't know how to tell her, you can start with these types of images to break the ice, they are more comfortable and that is not only noticeable, but is also transmitted to your images.
SITTING MAN POSES
Another way to represent the male figure is to sit your model down.
As in the portraits in which we have a point of support, in this case, sitting your model offers you more relaxed images.
BEST POSES FOR PHOTOS OF MEN FROM BEHIND
Face portraits are not the only ones, even if it seems a bit strange ? .
You can also look for different portraits like these with the models' backs turned.
This type of portrait seeks to suggest rather than show, and can be an interesting option for male poses.
If you have a muscular back, it can help you convey strength, but it can also lead you to convey dreams, nostalgia, etc.
JUMPING MAN POSES
If your model is young, energetic, sporty or all three at the same time, you can choose to make them jump and thus capture their vitality, their favorite sport, their joy, etc.
