Part of the struggle of a creating a great piece of artwork is posing. He will share his technique from posing one person to a large group of people.

Another struggle in creating a photograph is posing; Hanson’s signature classic 10 poses will be demonstrated. These poses are the foundation to make anybody look stately yet natural.

There are 5 principles of leg movement, the I, S, C, X, and the OX poses. These poses can interchange from a classical look to a fashion look.

Understanding these principles will enable you to handle any given lighting situation.
