A compilation of portraits are often taken of students in their senior year of school. The portraits are usually posed, and they should reflect each subject's style and personality. Before you begin setting up poses, ask each subject if she wants a more creative gallery, with a few tilted angles, or if she prefers a more classic look with straight and posed portraits. Also ask your subject if she wants to wear any specific clothes, or include any specific props to incorporate in the poses.
Outdoors
An outdoor setting provides a useful and natural backdrop to create poses for your subjects. You can have you subjects lean on trees, sit or lean on walls, run through fields or sit in sand, depending on the style that each subject wants to create in his senior picture gallery. Make sure to pose your subject in natural positions, and allow elements like wind and sun to help you create a thoughtful composition. The best portraits will come from the sun at the photographers back, so make sure you position your subjects so that they are facing the sun.
Props
Make poses with the help of props. The props should reflect each subject's interests or personality. A girl who likes horses, for example, can pose on or alongside her horse or in the barn among the hay and the wood posts. A boy who likes skateboarding, for example, can be posed while holding a skateboard or sitting casually with the skate park environment in the background. Allow your subjects to show you what they are interested in, and this will allow them to pose more naturally in the settings that are comfortable to them.
Body Position
The body position of your subjects' bodies will have a lot to do with how natural a pose looks for a portrait. Make sure that limbs are slightly bent to make a more natural look, and have subjects put a little more weight on one leg if they are standing to make the stance look more natural. You can position your subjects so that they lean on hands, or even gaze away from the direction of the camera. Think about what natural positions people put their bodies in --- usually bearing weight on an object or a dominant limb, rather than in a rigid and straight stance.
Angles
Sometimes camera angles can make all the difference in how your subjects come across in their senior picture galleries. Try not to shoot your subjects straight on, since this is often not as flattering, especially to larger subjects. Use side camera angles, and try to take a bit of an elevated position on your subjects, rather than a lower position, to make a more flattering and angular look to their faces. Pose your subjects so they gaze at the camera at an angle, or have them glance away from the camera.
