The “candid/laughing” picture shows a very unfortunate view of that pretty girl’s thigh. It looks all pinkish and puckered. I can’t imagine that she would be happy with that picture.

Having worked with teenagers for 21 years as their teacher, including yearbook adviser, I have to agree with many of your comments. Teenagers love to have their picture taken, including the guys. However, the guys have to be shown as handsome, strong, athletic. Getting them to smile can be difficult, but usually a cute girl can charm them into smiling, so try to include a significant other when photographing the guy.

I was excited to see this and it was a great article but I’m with the others that are asking about guy poses. Girls have lots of poses but guys are a little more challenging. I would love to hear your advice on them.

Such a great article. Thank you so much for sharing. My first senior shots this weekend-I am more nervous for these than for newborns and toddlers. Hopefully my “senior” will listen better than the three-year-olds I usually work with!

My friend and I had the conversation about getting guys in front of the camera the other day. We thought if we got a group of them together and took turns that they would be more relaxed…even a few “buddy ” shots might be cool. Of course, hands in pockets, crossed arms, leaning over a fence on elbows not up against it with theirs backs like the girls, and if in sports or music have their equipment or instrument.

I would love to see some tips for Senior guys, too. I’ll be shooting my own son soon and need inspiration for him.
