Standing headshot poses? I’m taking some corporate headshots that will be standing waist up. A pose that I typically lean towards is arms crossed, but they want the subjects to appear friendly and approachable, so I was wondering what other poses do you guys utilize?

( www.reddit.com )

Consistent Headshot Composition

( www.reddit.com )

Consistent Headshot Composition I’m helping a friend with a small photography project and could use some advice. They are looking for headshots (really informal) for 8-10 people, to all be published on a webpage. I’ll just use my iPhone for this.
