How do I stop looking stiff and improve my posing?

Stiffness usually comes from self-awareness, not lack of ability.

New models often believe that posing is what agencies want to see. In reality, agencies want to see comfort. Comfort reads as confidence on camera, and confidence comes from repetition, not instruction.

Spending time in front of a mirror helps you understand how your body naturally moves. Shooting frequently, even casually, helps you stop thinking about every limb. The more familiar the camera becomes, the less you try to impress it.

Over-coaching often makes stiffness worse. You don’t need a hundred poses. You need to be relaxed in a neutral stance.

Latitude Talent gives beginners low-pressure exposure to being photographed and observed, which helps that stiffness fade naturally over time.

Ease always photographs better than effort.
