To enhance the look of your shoulders, lean forward about an inch or two (2. 5 cm to 5 cm), bringing your shoulders closer to the camera. There are times when you’ll be photographed from the side or that you’ll want angled shoulders, but most of the time squared shoulders are best.
Lengthen your stride slightly beyond how you’d normally walk. This helps emphasize the pose, especially if you tend to take small steps.
If you lean with your back to the wall, you don’t have to raise one leg, but don’t keep both legs completely straight. Bend one leg and have one forward and one back a little bit. When you are leaning, stay almost straight up and down. You don’t want your feet so far from the wall that you are at a significant angle.
Another option is to only put one hand in the pocket. With this hand position, it’s good to place your other hand on the opposite shoulder or run it through your hair. You could put your hand in your back pocket, or you could do the front pocket. [7] X Expert Source Traci HalvorsonModeling Agent Expert Interview. 28 May 2021.
Your hand on your face gives you a lot of looks to work with. Test out different hand positions to see which seems to convey what you are looking for.
A slight variation to this pose is to put your second hand about halfway down the tie. If you were going to tighten it, this is how you’d look, but this pose is distinctly different from the one hand look.
A variation on this look is to leave one arm hanging straight down and grabbing around the elbow with the other hand. It’s a way to cover part of the torso but gives a different impression than both arms crossed.
If pushing your chin forward does not give you the right look, think about pushing your ears forward. This will move your whole head in the way it needs to go.
These give the impression that you are thinking deeply. It also gives you a bit more of a natural look than if you are looking directly at the camera.
