This is the classic symmetric pose, note arms are at same angles and hands same distance from centre
of the body. The crossed feet give an element of naturalism (not to be confused with naturism) and the distant stare (only attempt
this if you have been practicing for over a year at modelling) adds an element of mystery.
This pose, keeping the vacant stare, is tricky to master, but will get you some catalogue work.
The leg cross is more dramatic and the other way round, showing us the versatility of this past star.
The limp hand (practice this alone in the bedroom) may help you get work in Attitude.
This is a more advanced pose, standing erect facing almost away from the lens. It takes great skill
to get the face at he right angle to drag the viewer to wonder what is so interesting just out
of shot. It helps having a mate looking the same direction in the back ground, but make sure you
cannot see their face, or you may have to split the fee. A raised leg, resting on some object, and
reverse arch of the back add to the intrigue.
This fun pose has many uses, including modelling for a garden gnome sitting at a pond fishing.
You MUST ALWAYS keep your balance, failure to do this could end you getting seriously hurt.
Remember a silly smile is good, but not needed for a gnome factory, as they have beards.
Here a student, no name, tries the Gnome pose, and fails... Still it takes a few years to become
a master modeller like Gary. (never mind Paul) oops soz mate.
