Wifey wants me to learn to shoot portraits so I can photograph her with better angles. She is definitely slimmer than average but I often got her at awkward angles that made her look fatter than she is.

Any detailed tips on how to pose a model, typically Malaysian girls who like to pose for wall and food, and make them look having long, slender legs, taller, v-shaped face, more waist curve?

basic from i know is. angled 2/3 to body, 1 leg slightly raise, tuck stomach, 1 hand press waist.

just like modelling show.

** can use wider angle lens instead of potraits (flat look)

YouTube has tips on shooting portraits

I think you r in wrong thread. Should go to photoshop forum.

sorry what you mean by angled 2/3 to body? how about head position?

youtube. and pintrest. use these tools to get good references on how to pose your wifey.

a few simple rules i try to follow when taking photos of my own family and friends.

1. try not to take pictures of their upper arms. if must, show the whole arm. not cropped off.
2. if posing people. get them to push their chin out and tilt head down. arms spread out like video above.

Would love to see some before and after shots to see how you've grown. (:
