There's some poses that I've just never been a fan of, arms high in the air is one, and this squatting down thing that a lot of models do. I can't even explain why as I know a lot of people seem to like it. Maybe its the way I frame my shots but it rarely looks right.
However Laura is an exception to this. During the shoot she went to get into this pose and I told her outright I wasn't a fan of that pose and it probably wouldn't look right. She laughed and asked if we could try anyway as it would only take a moment. I figured it was no harm..... and this is the result.
Whatever way she held her body posture, or whatever way she managed to do it differently I dont know.... but what I do know is she absolutely rocked it and looked amazing.
Stuff like that reminds me I should break away from my own "rules" sometimes. Even if something didnt work before that doesn't mean it wont work if trying it on a new shoot with new people 😀
