To be a better photographer, when photographing anyone who isn’t a model, you need to remember what it feels like to stand in front of a camera. It’s important to make your subject feel comfortable, especially for full body portraits, regardless of whether it’s an individual, a couple or a group of people.

Hi! I'm Jane Allan, professional portrait photographer and founder of The Lens Lounge - photography tutorials and online courses. Here to help you create the photos you dream of by sharing everything I've learned.

So once your subject is in position, you could simply give the shirt a little tug to even out the folds. Ask them first – never touch a person in front of your lens without their permission. If it’s your family, that’s different of course.

Any of these portrait lengths can be applied to posing somebody from the front, the side the back or an over the shoulder angle.

When I pose a subject for full body poses I start from the feet up, because I find people are less likely to move their feet while concentrating on, for example, hand placement, than the other way around.

That said, I tend to shoot from a kneeling position most of the time, because this puts my camera at my subject’s waist height, which is a flattering camera angle for full body photography.

To make this look as natural as possible in standing poses for women I always ask them which is their shopping queue leg. In other words, if they’re standing in a queue at the till, which is the leg they stand on. Whichever they say is their usual load bearing leg is the one that should be the “back leg”.

Portrait photography on the other hand is about showing a person at their best, so it’s more focused on posing the entire body and camera angles.

The opposite camera angle is to get up high and shoot down on your subject. This places the viewer in a position of power, so completely changes the feeling of the photo. You won’t see politicians photographed from this camera angle.

With a 105mm lens you’d have to be a fair bit away from your subject to capture a full length portrait, which makes directing more difficult and breaks the connection between you and your subject. It’s easily overcome, however, you just need to work a bit harder at your personal skills.

A wide aperture works well to blur the background in full body pictures, which will reduce distractions in the background and isolate the subject.

Hi Jane, I am back rereading your information on posing and camera angles. I have made a note to myself on your tips on camera angles. I have been asked by a friend to take photos of her daughter in her formal dress. I have a 50mm lens and had hoped to purchase another lens sigma 18-35 mm but no one seems to have it in stock.. My other lens are kit lens 18-55 and 18-135 mm. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

Again, this should feel natural. Your subject shouldn’t feel contorted as their discomfort will show very clearly in a full length portrait.

While both styles of photography apply to full body portraits, the difference is that lifestyle photography is more about conveying emotion. There’s always a lot of movement involved in lifestyle photo shoots so it’s not about getting exactly the right poses.

So, a 50mm would make a good lens for full body pictures, especially with a wide aperture of F1.4 or F1.8 if you want to blur the background.

If using a 35mm lens for full body portraits, make sure that the subject is towards the center of the of the image. Elements at the edge of the frame will be distorted by the wide angle lens.

That’s a lot of stuff to get right before you take the shot, but you can’t take too long. So, no pressure, but get it all right and do it fast. Seconds pass very slowly for anyone in front of the lens so you have to keep a shoot moving to keep the energy up for good photos.

thanks so much for the tips on how to look your best in full-body poses. My partner’s little sister is doing high school senior photos this year and she wants to do all sorts of shoots including props and outfit changes. We’ve been looking into finding a photographer that would fit well with her so they both can have a good time during the shoots.

With headshots or three quarter photographs there’s less of a person to pose. Much easier! With full body photography, not only do you need to work on making your subject feel comfortable, so that their facial expressions are relaxed and happy, you also have to pay attention to their whole body. So full body photos are more work for portrait photographers.

So, with those camera setting considerations aside, you also need to be aware that your choice of focal length affects the appearance of your subject. Let’s take a look at the best focal length for full body portraits…

I’m standard height for a woman, which I think puts me at an advantage for capturing full body photos. If you’re tall, full length photography becomes a bit of a workout for your thighs, because camera angle plays a big role in the appearance of your subject.

Let’s first focus on the subject before we move onto your position, camera angle and the technical aspects of how to take full body pictures.

All you need to do is make sure that the distance between you and your subject is less than the distance between your subject and the background.

Also, sometimes you want detail in the background of photos, especially if the background is relevant to the subject, like in an environmental portrait.

Hair can be particularly difficult in photos, especially when somebody is nervous as nervous people shift a lot. You might have got them into the perfect full body pose and you’re ready to go and they look down and back up at you dislodging their hair again. Or a gust of wind wafts up a tuft of hair.

The reason I mention lenses for full body portraits last is because the above considerations impact your choice of lens focal length first. For example, if you want to blur the background, using a wide angle, like 35mm, won’t work well for you, especially at apertures narrower than F4.

Lying on the ground photographing up towards your subject puts your camera at roughly knee height of your subject. It creates a very dynamic photo, putting the subject in position of power over the viewer and changes the usual perspective.

Obviously, when it comes to hip placement it’s different for posing women and men. Popping the hip to one side is another essential technique for creating the S curve for full body portraits of women.

You’ll notice how your shoulder on the load bearing side drops slightly, making your pose asymmetrical. Exaggerate this slightly, maybe raise the other shoulder slightly and you’ve got the basis of a good full body pose.

Don’t give them a chance to have to ask the question. Before you even pick up your camera let them know that you’ll direct them into great poses and they don’t have to think about a thing.

But more than that, add to the picture by actively thinking through your background and foreground. Use the space to make the image more interesting.

As I mentioned at the beginning, with full body portraits there’s a lot more work for the photographer, and that includes scanning your subject for anything out of place.

So the following full body posing tips are mainly portrait photography techniques, rather than lifestyle photography techniques, and also apply to modelling photo shoots.

To be honest, I do this for three quarter shots, as well as headshots, because feet placement makes a difference to a person’s body shape and appearance.

Now we’re at the part that concerns so many subjects posing for full body pictures. Men in particular need something to do with their hands when posing for photos.

I don’t like to blur the background in photos completely, so I don’t go for very wide apertures. Turns out I shoot at F4 a lot of the time. Nothing wrong with photographers that do use wide apertures, it’s just not my style.

I also believe that you should learn to work with what you have – it’s a great way to stretch your knowledge of portrait photography techniques.

Aside from personal style, a blurry background isn’t solely dependent on wide apertures. So if you don’t have a lens that goes wider than f5.6, but you want a blurry background, don’t despair.

It’s all the little details that count. As people move, their clothing shifts and while we don’t notice these things in normal life, when you take a photo it freezes the moment. A rucked up shirt can be very unflattering in photos and also distracting.

Again, bending one knee creates shape. For women this is a great way to start creating a flattering S shape, which is both flattering for women and more interesting from a composition point of view.

The first question most people ask is “What should I do with my hands?”, followed by “Where should I look?”. So you need to pre-empt their questions by giving clear, confident direction for portrait photography poses.

This is why waist height is the most common camera angle for full body portraits. So, make sure you change it up a bit to incorporate other angles for variety.

TASER weapons, classified as Conducted Energy Weapons (CEWs) are used by law enforcement as electrical, non-lethal weapons. A CEW's long distance method of deployment launches two barbed probes that embed into the target, before electricity is cycled from one probe to the other. The resulting muscle contractions help incapacitate the intended target. Currently, there is no research on the accuracy of variability of CEW probe spread in determining the distance of the shooter. Thus, in this study, a method of distance determination for TASER models X26P, X2, and TASER 7 was established to help estimate the relative locations of individuals during crime scene reconstruction. Each of four probe cartridge types were launched for six repetitions towards vertical cardboard targets from three different distances (n = 72). The probe spread on the targets was measured for each cartridge and plotted against CEW-To-Target (CTT) distance. Linear regression trendlines and standard deviations were generated for each cartridge type. Results demonstrated probe spread distances to be proportional to probe launch angles, and greater CTT distances resulted in greater standard deviation. Standard error of the estimate was calculated for all four linear regression equations and their ability to predict CTT distance when given probe spread measurements. The mean standard error values appeared acceptable for the X2 (0.460 m), TASER 7 CQ (0.273 m), and X26P (0.322 m) CEW models, while the mean error calculated for the TASER 7 Standoff model (0.846 m) was considerably greater. We expect our findings will help establish a reliable method of distance determination for CEWs, and perhaps with a larger sample size, more thoroughly examine the accuracy of the linear regression equations. CEW distance determination has the potential to provide support in contextualizing crime scene reconstruction with further research. By providing distance estimations alongside a standardized guide of error allowance, it would be possible to induce how far apart individuals were at the time a CEW was fired, within the calculated window of deviation, and in a statistical degree of confidence.

However, when photographing from a higher point fo view with a 35mm lens, angling the camera down will make the head seem larger than normal, especially in relation to the rest of the body – creating a lollipop effect.

When weight’s shifted to one foot, as opposed to being equally on both feet, it creates shape and the subject appears more relaxed than if they’re standing firmly planted on both feet.

Also, I love good news, so if my portrait photography posing tips have helped you to understand full body photography, share that too.

I once spent a ridiculous amount of time closing the best man’s zipper in Photoshop. Obviously, when photographing a wedding you can’t stop the speech to tell the person their zipper is down, but during a portrait photoshoot, you absolutely can and should.

The more of a person you include in a photo, the more the background and foreground is visible in pictures. So, for outdoor photography, you need to be careful when selecting a location to avoid distractions in the background and foreground.

This applies to both indoor photography and outdoor photography. Neither one is better than the other – they’re just different and they both have their place.

Just one word of warning on posing before we move on. Watch out for foreshortening when posing as this can cause a subject’s body or limbs to look shorter than they are. And pay careful attention to posing hands in photos.

My family tease me that they don’t need to worry about something being out of place, because I’ll point it out before they’ve had a chance to notice. They have no idea how often I don’t actually say anything. This is the downside of doing portrait photography for years – I never stop scanning!
