AGAINST THE WALL
Wall poses represent the casual end of the business photo spectrum. The very act of leaning on a wall exudes a confident, relaxed look. Combine the wall trick with other poses that you know, and get your model to fold his arms or put his hands in his pockets. He can try different cloth grabs too. However, you need to make sure that you don’t accidentally “amputate” any of his limbs (see variation #2). A part of each hand should always remain visible.
