Portrait Photography How To

Photographer Julia Trotti's fans have been asking her to do a video on how to pose males who are not models for portrait photos for some time, and this year she finally delivered. And, no surprise since there's been a big demand, the tutorial was her most popular of the year, garnering over a million views on YouTube, and counting.

Shot on location in Warsaw, Poland with her non-model, Karel, Trotti shares her tips while demonstrating a variety of poses.

"The first thing when it comes to posing males, especially, is I feel like the hands are usually the most awkward part of the body to move around and to pose," she explains. "So, it's okay to get a few photos with hands just by your side but I think something really important is to have some poses in mind to do with your hands."
