- Unnatural, sometimes outrageous poses
- Had different effects on male and female viewers
- Often childlike poses; touching mouths - so common in modern photography: Suggestive - vulnerable poses - sexualised
- Why are all poses 'aimed' at men (submissive, attractive, sexual) despite the media/adverts/products being for women?
- Some say models pose like this to indicate their awareness and control over men and male attention; they know they are being watched
- Male and female power levels
- Photographers are often male - objectifying models
What we did: posed for photos (copying professional shots) and directed models
Why: To practice communicating with models in order to perfect the desired photo
How I felt: Posing - awkward, uncomfortable, silly; but still enjoyable. Didn't like the end photo!
Directing - More in control, enjoyable, found it difficult to copy image and to get models to cooperate
How my partner felt: found it hard to understand what I, as the director, meant; difficult to pose and hold still, felt uncomfortable
Changes for next time: better lighting! More time, more confidence, clearer instructions
