This guide is for someone…
… looking to gain confidence in your shooting style.
… wanting help posing teen clients (of any personality type, from shy to outgoing).
… getting your portrait clients relaxed in front of the camera.
…. learning tips and tricks to take your poses to the next level.

Just read through Posing & Moore in its entirety in one sitting. Wow, I can’t wait to go back and read it again! In fact, it wouldn’t hurt to read it over before each senior session to give me the confidence boost I need before I get out there and shoot. And now I’m armed with tips on giving my CLIENTS a confidence boost, too. One thing that makes this posing guide stand out above than the others I have seen is that it focuses more on the natural flow of setting up & capturing the perfect shot. It’s not just “have her put one hand here and one hand there.” The guide really goes into detail about how to get your clients to fall into the pose you want naturally. The resulting poses then seem candid… in a good way. – [Katie Cawood]

It’s true.  The Posing & MOORE guide is THE posing guide you teen and senior photographers have been waiting for!  Created by Seattle and LA based fashion and senior photographer, Michelle Moore, this guide is so much more than a “posing guide”.  It delves into working with teens, getting them relaxed in front of the camera and helps you find your shooting style so you too, can get those amazing relaxed and natural looking poses that Michelle Moore is famous for!!

Michelle’s guide reveals so much about her shooting style but very easily translates to any teen or senior photographer business.  The Posing & Moore guide is a nearly 70 page workshop in a book that teaches you how to relate to teen clients, and get the most natural expressions and poses from any personality type!

Included in the guide are:

Gear Basics

Location Basics

Your Personal Shooting Style

Client Preparation

Putting It All Together

Details

Sale & Product Information

The “MM” Must Have Shot List

On top of that, the guide is FULL of inspirational EYE CANDY.

After printing and binding my copy I put some of my newfound skills, techniques, and poses to the test for two different shoots, a senior and model session.  I couldn’t be more pleased with how much more relaxed my subjects were in front of the camera right away utilizing some really basic and easy to recall techniques Michelle suggests in the detailed guide.  I wrapped the second session in less than an hour with less shots fired and the same number of keeper images (thank you Michelle for the flow posing tips) with confidence that I’d gotten the shots that both I and my clients wanted and were marketable.
