Posing Your Hands and Eyes
I could write a book on how to pose hands and eyes… it’s the photographers job to not just “memorize” poses, but to learn how to “build” a pose for our brides and grooms. But here a few pointers so you’ll know what to do on your wedding day.
Posing Your Hands and Eyes
Frame The Face
Photographers who don't know how to pose the hands and arms often give brides and grooms what is called the “floating head” (what you don't want). It's when you have a close up shot of the face, but no hands and arms in the photo.
You can use hands and fingers to lead attention to where you want with a close up. In this portrait I wanted to lead attention to Adriana's eyes and lips. So I gently directed her hands naturally in this position.
As you can see, this portrait does not look forced or rigid even though the hands are in a place that you would not expect. This can enhance a close up portrait in a really beautiful way.
