Erin Manning’s Top 5 Posing and Directing Photo Tips Some people are really uncomfortable in front of the camera—they aren’t sure what they’re supposed to do, and they’re afraid they’ll look bad. This can result in stiff, unnatural looking photographs. It’s your job as the photographer to help your subjects feel comfortable and relax. You can do this by talking, interacting, giving them direction and encouragement. When you are photographing people, you are in a relationship, whether it lasts for a few minutes, a few hours, or a lifetime. Following are five tips that can help you direct your subject and capture natural-looking portraits. Tip 1 Have your subjects make a three-quarter turn to camera and shift their weight to the back leg. This position gives the body shape, dimension and makes them look slimmer. Tip 2 Create a sense of movement in your photograph. Direct your subjects to shift their weight back and forth from one foot to the other. Tip 3 Most people are uncomfortable in front of the camera. Help them out by giving them direction. Tell them they look great, give them feedback and interact. The positive energy will show in your photographs. Tip 4 A real expression is always better than a fake one. To alleviate a frozen, unnatural smile, try my Pufferfish technique for relaxing your subjects face. Do it together! Puff out your cheeks, hold, then blow it out. This exercise relaxes your face, and the goofy look is enough to make anyone laugh. Tip 5 Portraits are …

@dumblueydblond Thank you. Glad to hear that, as my objective is to explain things in such a way that even beginners can immediately accomplish more complex tasks in Photoshop.
This is my first time using photoshop, and this video was so easy to follow, it was clear and I loved it!! Thank you!!!
hey… i cudnt understand……… d step… aftr selecting d brush tool… plz.. tell me.. soon
Thank you very much you made everything just so easy to understand
Wonderful easy explanation. I took a photoshop class a year ago and had forgotten how to do this completely, but you gave an excellent refresher and I’m confident it would be a good first lesson for someone as well! Thanks!
thanks much
Thank you for your kind words—YOU are my target audience!
the way you explain is great. Even a kinder garden would understand. This is truly the best photoshop tutorial I’ve ever watched! My photo went out perfectly. I seen someone using the same idea as you suggested but he didn’t explain it well so I looked for where the black and white is in CS2 (he had CS 3) for 30 mins
thanks for being so patient to explain this to us all! and good luck with everything.
Isnt this method a little complicated for a beginner tutorial. just Duplicate, De-saturate and Mask if you are going for a beginner tutorial.
thanks for the great tutorial
ty amazing and easy to follow like a newbie like me just starting out…ty again for taking the time.
1st off I have photoshop 7.0 How do you get the layers column over Im new at this
you’re a good instructor
You certainly could do it that way, but it’s certainly not any easier–just another way to do it. In fact if you use the eraser, then you can’t change your mind, like you can with a mask. The results would look the same, but using the eraser limits editability.
Wouldn’t it be easier (and quicker) to make a black and white layer on top of the color, then erase the part of the layer you want in color?
