How to Pose Gracefully For Cosplay Photographing ?

Here is a guest article that was submitted to me about posing for cosplay photography that I would like to share:

Thanks to Au-chan to give me this opportunity to post this cosplay artiche here. This time i wanna share some tips for cosplayers . Usually we see many cosplayers being taken photos in conventions, but how to pose gracefully and make better cosplay photos, there are some tips below.

First, do not make head and body in a line, which seems rather stiff. When body faces towards the camera, turn head left or right slightly. The photo will be more elegant and lively. In the same way, when eyes look straightly to the camera, turn your body to a certain angle to seem more vivid, dynamic and enhance the three-dimensional sense.

Second, do not parallel your arms and legs. Under any situation, do not parallel arms and legs. When arms and legs are parallel, you will seem stiff and mechanical. So, you can bend your arms or legs. What’s more, you can make them at a certain angle. So, a picture with dynamic and changeable pose is created.

Third, try your best to accent your curves on your body. For female cosplayers, they attach much importance to show their curvaceous silhouettes. The most usual way is to stand on one leg. Then, lift another leg to lean on it. Turn around the hip until it shows the slimmest look. As the waist bends down, the bust will seem rather plump. Meanwhile, put one of your hands on your chest, which offers a necessary width to the picture.

Fourth, straighten your sitting posture. Shot while sitting, you shouldn’t sit with your entire body into the chair. In this case, excrescent fat will hunch and make your legs seem cumbersome. The right posture should be to lean your body towards and sit by the side of chair. Keep chest puffed out and abdomen in. Saggy shoulders and protruding stomach are both avoided.

Fifth, keep distance from the camera. Generally speaking, it’s much better to stay in a distant place while taking a figure photo. When the camera lens is rather close to people who will be photographed, it will become malformed. This especially makes sense on camera lens with a short focal length. Thus, make sure you have chosen a proper focal length and keep a certain distance with the camera.

Sixth, pose your hands properly. Hands do not occupy a big proportion in a photo. However, improper hand posture will damage the overall beauty. Pay attention to the integrity of your hands and do not make them look like distorted, fractured or caritive. While being akimbo or putting your hands in the pocket, you had better show parts of your figures to avoid an interceptive look.

A right posture is half done. To make your cosplay experience more significant, just pay more attention to how to pose for photographing.
