Males are possibly the hardest people to photograph in the world because they have no sense of what pose they should be pulling. Some men like to go with the ‘Hollywood’ pose – the pose they saw Leonardo Di Caprio’s face on the Oscar’s red carpet – and others are just that intimidated by the camera that they pull a pose which is somewhere in between happiness and dread. As a wedding photographer this can be a problem. When you photograph a wedding it is your job to make sure that every photo you take of a person at the wedding is a good one and something the wedding party can look back on in a couple of weeks and rejoice at their special day. If you have some silly man trying to pull a ‘blue steel’ pose at a wedding then this can be a very difficult job. But how do you change the pose of a man to make sure the wedding photos are the best they can be?  Well it’s hard but like any man they can be trained, in this case trained not to fear the camera and not to try and look like a beautiful Hollywood actor. Both examples are not going to be good for wedding photographer.
