Today, the model bookers here at the agency got a request through for male and female hand models<\/a> needed to pose for some shots with a mobile phone.<\/p>\n

So, while we were on the subject of hands, we though we’d share this great video we stumbled on entitled ‘How to Handle Hands – Posing Techniques for Photographers and Models’.
\n
\nUploaded by award winning photographer and author Joe Edelman, the video reminds us that hands can make or break your shot in a heartbeat \u2013 something all models, nevermind hand models, need to be aware of.<\/p>\n

“Generally a woman’s hands should appear graceful. You want to achieve a soft, elegant and natural position of the hands so that they do not become a distraction.<\/p>\n

“Angled wrists and claw like fingers are things that we generally would not notice when we watch a pretty girl in person, but preserve them in a photograph and they suddenly become a distraction that will take away from your subject’s natural beauty,” Edelman explains.<\/p>\n

Models Direct suggests all our models check out the very useful video above and then get practicing those posing techniques for your hands as soon as you get a chance!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
