Teen Model Posing Tips

I've often seen young girls who are just starting out with modeling, unsure about how to pose.  It doesn't have to be some crazy pose, rather you should look natural.

I recommend sitting or standing in a natural position and then stretching your body out.  For example if you were sitting in front of the television, you may slouch.  A simple way to turn that into a great pose is to stretch and angle.  Notice in the modeling photo below, she is leaning and stretching but in a very natural teen way.

When getting your modeling headshots you want to make sure not to slouch, but rather stretch your body and elongate.  Your modeling or headshot photographer should also guide you if you are new.

Many of your modeling photos will be close ups of your face and eyes.  These are model headshots which the agent may also use to submit you for commercials.  I find a lot of new models tilt the head up or sideways but it's actually better to drop your chin down a bit and or straighten your face towards the camera so your face is clearly seen.  If your head is tilted to high, it will be about your neck and if you drop your chin down a little it will open up and show off your eyes more.  Try it in the mirror.  Notice in the models headshot below her eyes and face are the focus.  She has her chin down a bit and it makes for a great modeling or actor headshot.

Keeping the chin down a little bit in a modeling pose makes for a stronger headshot.  Young teen model smiling actor and model headshot.

When you ask someone to smile for the camera, often they automatically put their head up...it feels more natural.  However, the headshot or photo will be much stronger if you drop your chin down a little bit even and look up with your eyes.  Even if the photographer is a little bit above, it often works better to drop the chin down.  The teen model in the above headshot is doing a fabulous pose, keeping the chin slightly down when smiling for the camera.

Work with your headshot photographer during the photo session to get the right angle and pose which works best with your face.  They will assist you to look your best.

Young Stars

Have to give a big shout out to this up and coming young star, actress Elle Paris Legaspi who is starring in the remake of the 90's hit drama "Party of Five".  Elle will be playing the role of Valentina Buendia which airs on Freeform and produced by Sony Pictures.

Elle was a blast to photograph for her acting headshots and not surprisingly is such a professional to work with.  It's such a pleasure working with this young celebrity actress.  Here are a few shots from her last acting headshot session we did.

recent acting headshots with three kids.

I often work with families who have several kids in the business. When there is more then one child in the family who is acting,  they all need headshots.

It can be expensive to get headshots for two or three kids in one day, but I offer a sibling discount, if all kids are photographed together.  And it can be a bit of work for mom, to get the kids all together, get their wardrobe ready and then spend several hours at the shoot getting the kids headshots.  However...

...spending the time to do three kids headshots on the same day, saves money, because I offer a discount for sibling headshot sessions.  And even though it seems to be a bit of work, it's a lot of fun with the mom or dad and the kids all working together for the same purpose...to get great kids headshots.   And on top of getting each child's individual headshots, we usually do a sibling shot for the agent to use.  These three kids did a recent acting headshot session and it was a great opportunity for the youngest child to learn from her big sisters on being photographed for their acting headshots.

These kids headshots are from a  recent headshot session with three beautiful girls with gorgeous blue eyes and curly hair who are all signed with a top talent agency in Los Angeles.  These are just a few of the headshots from their acting headshot photo session which we did at the studio in North Hollywood.  Mom is thrilled because they not only have new headshots, but she has some great photos for her walls.
