Half-body model shots are often used in commercial and catalog photography in Hong Kong. The model must know how to pose his/her upper body, hands and head while paying attention to the posture. It is important to pose lively and naturally while having a good sense of body movement, which will prevent you from looking stiff. Do slight body movements and changes every few seconds. When you do that, the photographer will capture a variety of different poses, where each one will look different and natural.
Even a slight change of posture, hand movement or a change in facial expression will be considered a new pose. With experience these poses will feel natural to you and you will be able to pull them off correctly every time in your shoots in Hong Kong. The role of the models is to work with their bodies in the way they stand, pose, in facial expressions and their hands. Professionals on both sides of the lens know how to stand and turn to hide the flaws of the figure and emphasize the advantages.
