THE “NO GOOD” POSE

image

This pose owes its name to the fact that it consists of a whole bunch of posing taboos. However, taken together they can be used to create an attractive look. Positioning the arms so close to the model’s body makes her appear broader than she actually is. Her raised shoulders shorten her neck and make things worse. The saving grace is that all these “errors” inevitably draw the viewer’s attention to the model’s clothing, and that is why this pose is a winner after all.
