The Feminine Pose. The feminine pose is one in which the head is turned and tipped to the high shoulder. The body is then tipped forward at the waist, leaning slightly in the opposite direction from the way the face is turned. The position of the shoulders remains in a fixed relationship with the position of the head, regardless of the angle at which you are photographing the face. “Once you pose and light someone in a feminine pose,” says Monte, “you can leave the subject alone and simply move the camera position to photograph a full-face view, a two-thirds view, and a profile.”

The feminine pose creates a very elegant look for slim women. “However,” notes Monte, “it does not work for heavier women, because the tip of the head toward the high shoulder can create folds around the jawline.” Other than for the profile, you should also avoid the feminine pose for men. The best way to do this is to make certain that the male subject’s body is turned toward the camera enough that he will not have to turn his head back in the opposite direction from his body to look into the lens.
