How to Pose for Prom Portraits

Photos are a great way to remember different special events throughout your life. One high school memory that many will want to remember in the future is prom. Here are some tips on how to pose people for memorable prom pictures.

Instructions

Facing Each Other

1

The boy and girl should stand with their feet alternating about shoulder-width apart.

2

Place the girl's front hand on the boy's chest right below his shoulder and her back hand either around his waist or around his neck, whichever is more comfortable.

3

Place the boy's hands around the girl's waist.

4

Tilt their heads toward each other slightly and ask them to smile a natural smile. Don't let them strain.

Back to Front

5

Ask to have the the girl's feet between the boy's feet, which should be about shoulder-width apart.

6

Back the girl up to the boy so that her back is touching his chest.

7

Place the boy's hands on the girl's waist.

8

Place the girl's hands on top of the boy's hands.

9

Tilt the girl's head slightly back toward the boy and the boy's head ever so slightly toward her.

10

Have them smile naturally. A strained smile will make them look really uncomfortable.

Diagonal

11

Stand them in a slightly diagonal position so that they aren't turned completely to the side but also aren't facing straight forward.

12

Let them do what feels natural with their hands. A girl may want to bring her hands together and rest them on her front hip. Boys may want to place their hands in their pockets.

13

Have the girl stand with her feet together, and the boy stand with his feet shoulder width apart.

14

Tilt their heads slightly toward their chest and smile naturally.
