The model’s guide to hand Posing: 3 Simple Tips for Hand Posing in Photoshoots | SALSA

Struggling with what to do with your hands during a photoshoot? Keeping them relaxed is key to achieving a natural look. Whether holding an object or focusing on nail prep, these tips will help make your poses look effortless.

When shooting, it can be difficult to know what to do with your hands. A natural look is essential for most modeling photoshoots, and stiff or awkward hand positioning can detract from the overall pose. To help, here are a few pointers on how to keep your hands looking relaxed and effortless in your photos.

Tip #1: Hold Something

If you arrive at a shoot and are unsure how to position your hands, holding onto an object, such as a purse or prop provided by the crew, can be helpful. Grabbing onto something draws attention away from your hands, making them look more natural without much effort. This is a great way to avoid overthinking hand placement during the shoot.

Tip #2: Nail Preparation

Come to the shoot with your nails in a clean, natural state. A clear gloss is acceptable unless the modeling agency or client specifies otherwise. This aligns with the guideline of wearing minimal makeup to allow the client to style you according to their vision. Arriving with your own polish might lead to requests for removal if it doesn’t match the shoot’s aesthetic.

Tip #3: Avoid Fanning Fingers

Fanning out your fingers can look unnatural unless you’re posing for a hand or nail cream advertisement. Instead, keep your fingers closer together for a more relaxed, tidy appearance that complements the overall pose.
