I dont understand how you are so natural at teaching it is just amazing to watch your ability to communicate the most difficult things elegantly and succinctly. Thank you for everything
Lindsay, you look absolutely wonderful! This short, but very insightful tutorial is what every portrait photographer needs, well, at least I know I do! Hope to see you soon!
Many of us always need to refresh these basic hand posing hints, and your teaching is always, be it on demand or in person is always just so enjoyable and more importantly, doable.
A great review of hands. I shoot a lot of dancers and I have to get them to relax hands especially in peak action shots. I love your videos and your whole style of teaching...thank you.
That's one of the biggest mistakes even the Pros do is mess up the hands. All of these are great, I have even missed the stray finger. LOL Great video Lindsay.
Simply masterful, I am always touched by your work, and laugh at those who critique your teaching, seriously , you sharing your amazing gifts with us for free, I feel blessed, thank you from deep in my heart, I send colleagues always to your channel...
thanks for the solutions that have been looking for so long! I learn so much from you and I am a huge fan of your educational videos. What you do is art! I have a question, what is the title of the music in the video? Greetings from North Germany, Michael
I seldom shoot portraits, but when I do, this little voice from New York will now on be in the back of my mind cautioning me when it comes to hand positioning! :0)
Tip #5 Do you think that tip would apply to guys as well?? Seems like a more feminine pose with the hands, but I think the flip side might make more of a masculine look?
One the most humorous couples portrait errors of the hand is the individual placing the arm behind the other individual and having just the fingers peeking around from behind. It reminds one of the old B-rated horror movie of the disembodied killer hand of the murdered concert pianist.

Awesome video!! As always! :) Do you have any advice for the following problem?: Fixing bad makeups and lipsticks? I am always struggling with this, are there any tipps to get rid of too much lipstick, strange shapes because of the badly applied lipstick, or bad contouring? That all happens regularly and i desperatly need a way to fix this
Familiarize yourself with the clone stamp tool and the retouching tools that Photoshop offers. You have to get accustomed to touching up these areas as if you were applying or removing makeup in reality. It's hard to give advice on this without really showing someone how to do it. But retouching is really onlly thing I can recommend getting stronger at in order to help fix things in post. The real best way to do this is to make sure things are the way you want in person. Don't be afraid to tell the MUA they need to fix something. Don't rely on "I'll fix it in post".
Does not hurt to have a stunning model who knows what you are trying to say/demonstrate. Have you ever had one who could not give you good hands, no matter what you said? Or the rare reverse, one who could not give you bad hands for a demo? Unless you micro-managed the hands. This last is usually a classically trained dancer.
Hi Greg! There should be a link in the video description (I'll double check, maybe there isn't lol) but you can get them here: lindsayadler.photo/posinghands
To me the main question is: Why have the hands in a portrait at all? Naturally you don't have your hands in or at your face, unless your fixing your hair, have a good scratch etc.
Maybe it's because I'm a street photographer and I like people to look natural in pictures, but I kind of like some of the 'wrong' ones better. I understand why they are wrong obviously. It's just that I'm a little tired of seeing women on magazine covers who are caressing their own face like if it's the baby Jesus.
