Your hair, the protagonist of the photo

Portobello Road is one of those settings that allows you to stand out against the pastel and lead blues around the street. The example we present to you is one of our favorites because when you sit and relax on this beautiful facade, you can have this result. When you can feel relaxed, you achieve what we call "posing without posing." A photo with naturalness and spontaneity is one of the best results you can expect in a photo session. Playing with your hair is one of the infallible ones, the secret is that the moment you make the head movement, try to keep a smile and your eyes looking at the camera, since many times, in the inertia of movement, we tend to close the eyes and the shot is lost.

Pretty white dress Pose

Portobello Road is one of the favorite locations for those who love romantic style. From its ivy and flower-filled walls to its cobblestone floors and brick walls, this place will inspire your romantic senses. If your goal is a result similar to this, try to use your favorite dress in your favor, when you add a touch of movement and sheer fabrics to the photo, this is the result, if you want the photo to be about the dress, put your gaze on the canvas, or add an even more dreamy air, looking at the horizon or sky, not directly at the camera. Add a little more style to your photo by using a bag or hat as an accessory.

Walk away and strike a pose

A beautiful photo, the sum of the Portobello Road style, and a fun mini-session. The most important thing in any shoot, professional model or not, is to have fun while capturing that moment. This location keeps a secret ingredient, its private and lonely streets. Here you will have the opportunity to bleach your hair and be creative in your poses. Walking and smiling is one of the classics that should not be missed, this not only helps your body look much more natural in the photo. Try to relax your arms while doing it, as if you walk overthinking your pose, this will immediately be reflected in your arms and hands. A photo in a 3/4 back profile will always be favorable, both in your features as well as in the style of the pose.

Look away and smile away

For this type of photography, it is important to feel comfortable with the environment. This type of element in the photo, such as the flowerpot and a nice window, can be elements that help to achieve the photo you are looking for. Although they are quite simple elements, they help to add a feminine style to the photo. Lean your body against the wall, a very important and flattering tip is for your hips to lean slightly by slightly lifting one foot against the wall. If you want to achieve the effect that this example has, try not to raise your knee too much, because then it can easily turn into a pose with a somewhat more rough and masculine style, which works perfectly too, but if your style is something more similar to this, try to make the poses always more subtle.

Perfect pose for a Sports lifestyle photoshoot

This part is one of our favorite locations if you are looking for a more sporty or even rockstar-like result. The gray oxford wall makes any model in front stand out, if you are looking for a space in which you can show off a less romantic and more urban style, this wall will be ideal if you are looking for this variety of scenarios in a single location. This photo is an excellent example of a sporty style pose. The model is relaxed, but her body is straight despite lifting it slightly on the wall, this helps the model's confidence stand out in the frame. Remember that a hidden smile on your face will always help lift your features. Try not to lift your face too high if the cameraman is lower than you. It is very important that you level the profile of your face if you are looking for this type of result.
