As a professional wedding photographer for two decades, I've photographed thousands and thousands of weddings. Now, wedding photography is a great educator because you have to work and think quickly and produce the demanded results every time.
Posing is something that can not only make a couple look amazing, help you tell a better story with your camera, but it also saves time.
Being able to look at a couple, know how to pose them, get them in position in seconds, and then show them a shot is certainly satisfying, plus, it brings instant trust between you and your subjects.
I hope this video gives you some of the tools you need to do just that! Enjoy!
come for the title, stayed for the humor, learned from the content. bravo.

True. And I don't even photograph people lol
Same
@@nancyboy9883 hahahahahaha
Good
"she looks great, and he's just standing there doing nothing"
thats just every boyfriend in a photo ever
OMG yes XD
Well I bet she doesn’t know anything else weheras he can be anyone in this world like pilot artist businessman engineer and so on
@@lukalukin4177 I *SINCERELY* hope you aren't saying what I think you're saying.
@@satirevampire2038 LOL i think hes gone of the edge i believe
because , he is bored and not interested in her anymore
Absolutely insanely well-done. I've been a full time professional wedding photographer for 11 years now (and I hate to toot my own horn but I'm pretty darned good), but even I learned a lot from this. Much of it I was doing unconsciously but once you are aware of what you are doing and have a full understanding of it, it is a game changer. Jerry, this is top notch stuff my man and you very, very, very much know what you're doing.
WOW. EVEN you learned something? My god that's insane
I loved watching those two model together! Jacob kept smiling and laughing, and she just looked stunning no matter how he had her pose
It was cool to really get a sense of how much _work_ modeling is, these two were both so on top of their game. They interpreted and followed every direction, they could snap right back into poses immediately after a break, and they were the perfect mix of fun and professional. I was really impressed with everyone, esp once you find out they are in 100° weather!
I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my November wedding a very beautiful day. I watched your videos and then I made my husband watch them. We got hitched in Las Vegas as part of Las Vegas Marries military and I wish you could have been my photographer. Everything you taught me in these videos was priceless because there was no time for the photographer to pose us so these tips were extremely helpful. It helped us get some beautiful candid shots but looking our best. I'm extremely grateful to you and every time I look at my wedding photos I will think of you. Thank you so much for all you do
"If it's not adding something it's probably taking away." - very wise, applicable for many things in life
i love the way you explain things and break it down. helps to understand the logic behind the poses and apply it to other poses we might come up with on our own
fantastic, thank you!
Listening to an enthusiastic nerd is always a fascinating thing to do. Even if I'm okay with my smartphone shots.
Agreed, listening to anyone who is passionate about anything is great!
any
Seeing ur dp guess your a nerd too
@@kudurrumaqlu 🤨
They're both so, so, so pretty. Enjoying the chemistry!
I have been a part time photographer for a long time. I have posing books of all kinds. I learned more from this video than all of my books together. Great teacher and photographer!
I love people at the top of their class teaching with passion. Great job.
I love the easy flow of energy you created, and how well the models responded to that. Their lightness and willingness to be a little silly kept the whole shoot organic. Gorgeous.
You sir, have this down to an art. That was one of the most worth while youtube videos about photography I have ever seen.
This guy was a master at the posing and photos. I never thought so much could go into photos until I saw it all.
Not a photographer but this was fascinating. Took two years of Art History and it was great learning about the intricacies of different artworks: where your eye is drawn to first and why, how different characters are portrayed to exude certain emotions etc. So fascinating to know it can happen with photography too, almost like an amazing live-action dance between ‘actors’ and canvas. Truly, truly awesome.
Also shocked that this guy has less than 100k subscribers. By the quality of the video alone, I assumed he had at least 1 mil
Ludwig and QT
hahah i thought the same thing when i saw the thumbnail
Trippy
I'm finding you everywhere mate 😂😂😂 also any plans for an ak47 vid ???
what r u twitch frogs doing here.. go back to LSF PepeLaugh
NoHesi K’.
damn those models are pros bro they did all his instructions like on the first try
probably they are professional indeed and so they know all the poses.
I know, it's almost as if it's their job or something
Lol you don't say....
yup
Read what you wrote again xD
So simple yet so awesome. I learnt a lot in the first 10 minutes. Adjusting for silhouette and angles are so important. Thanks Jerry.
You're very welcome!

@@fitfirst4468 bruh
I didn't think I would enjoy this video so much when I clicked it. This is amazing!
Fascinating tutorial. Even though I'm not a photographer, I enjoyed watching this, and I learned so much from it. Makes me want to buy a good camera and take up photography as a hobby.
this man is amazingly original and talented. He will make everyone confident and amazing after the shot.
I don't even do photography of people yet but this was awesome to watch. Watched the posing and lighting videos, your delivery and way you explain is so easy to follow and helpful. Love the posing progression especially, one change at a time, each one makes a difference.
This guy is so much talent. The more i watch the more i learn.
Jerry is a master at his craft and he’s giving so much info in this simple clip. 🙌🏼
14:53 - 15:00 HAHAHAHA xD
Love your humor. It makes everything run smoothly and melts the ice between them and you with the perfection of a pro such as yourself.
Great work overall and nice tips, as always, Jerry.
Bless you!
this is literally a masterclass. thank you for good quality content!
“This was better than a semester in college”
If u are this good at your job u dont want a steady paycheck, u want it to reflect your efforts for each photoshoot.
Yes right buddy
omg. this. a full year of photography and I am learning more on a 20 mins youtube video
hahahaha cok i
hahaha so funny
Yesterday I spent two hours watching your classes before a shoot and right away I could really tell the difference in my pictures. What you are doing here is just amazing. Keep it up!
Very professional models, and what a great display of how a professional photographer looks at things.
insane detail
My favorite photographer/educator ❤
thanks so much!
This is so well explained and easy to understand. 27 minutes doesnt feel long. Instant like and subscribe.
YT algorithm got me here I don't even know why. I never even searched anything remotely similar to photography let alone couples. I did enjoy the video though. Learned some good stuff. Now I can bugger some of my friends who are into photography.
Have you watched any ludwig/QtCinderella videos?
@@Qcnordique Who and who? I don't think so.
Same. I can't imagine what the combo of things are that got me here. Documentary/science stuff?
Models are very professional, the photographer is above amazing! Very great explanation.priceless!
They are streamers lol.
You just proved that posing is an art and a must to learn for portrait photography ! Great job 👏
I photograph couples for 5 years and I still struggle from time to time. This video is just pure gold. The knowledge, the details- its just top level, world class. Thank you
Amazing work! It's so helpful to see the progression of how the photo get’s better and better based on the body language.
"You don't have to be the best, you just have to be better than last week," is the best quote I ever heard!!
I enjoyed this video, and I’m not even a photographer. Mr. Ghionis sounds like such a photography geek, and it transfers well, making his educational content engaging and understandable. The models seem so professional, too! Love the quips and the laughs he brought out of them as well.
U r my hero. I love your videos and have improved my photography skills a lot using your techniques.
Wow!! that's so great to hear!! Thanks for watching!
I love the technicalities of this just what I wanted thank you !!
awesome!
You are so straightforward and giving easy to understand directions. I would love to have photos taken by you. Maybe for once I would look like I am photogenic 😊 I need to learn how to pose.
I LOVE HOW DETAIL THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I NEED
Me who will never photograph couples: "Amazing, I learned a lot from this!"
true. but u know, you could also be the couple
@@lmao12391 Don't give me hope
when you need to go as a couple, dont forget to send this video to your photograph before.
@@becauseimbatman1391 Cuz you're batman?
@@becauseimbatman1391 never doubt yourself bro. The only limitation to what you can do is what you think you can do.
Professionals DO make all the difference. Right instruction, perfect follow. Great models. On my next photo shoot, he can be my stand in.
This was so much more fascinating than i expected
After watching this, i am almost sure that you invented couple poses. This was so beautiful to watch, so much to learn
I will binge your channel
wow, thanks alot!
Dude, this is quality material. Subscribed!
Good tips but I would like to see how this kind of a perfectionist directing would work with a real couple on a real photoshoot!
Post shoot possible on the day shoot not possible
Depends. Engagement pics- easy because you have more time. Wedding? Very tough because everyone wants a piece of the couple.
He does this with real couples on his website. However, it’s subscriptions based. Works well w real couples.
I think you missed the point. No one gets perfect shots every time, if you got one or two tips out of this it will no do doubt improve your couples game. If you had a follow up video to this on how to shoot real people I would watch it.
been shooting since 2009, one thing I have learned over the years is sometimes letting the bride and groom be natural is more beneficial than trying to make them pose
like models.
Not the kind of video I normally watch.
VERY education! Thank you for explaining so well.
imaging caring enough of what people think to need to watch a video on how to pose for photos, this work needs new hope
I'm not a photographer and I'm not really interested in being one but I've learned so much from this video, I think I could just do pretty good personal photos for friends. Great video!
Another excellent tutorial video Jerry! It’s great to watch the subjects move around in the camera live view as they position themselves according to your posing directions. Really enjoying getting a glimpse of your workflow to the final image in this series of videos👌 Greetings & thanks from Melbourne 👋
Glad you enjoyed it
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Jerry.
Super video. And also, thanks to the models, they were flawless. Good instructions, helpful tips, and visual aids! Thanks, Jerry!
Unexpectedly, I had a great time watching this video. Very well done! Thanks!
This video was on my recommended for some time now. I've finally watched it and well, it was worth it! :)
Damn I accidentally tapped on this video. I found it funny at first but, dude knows so much real and practical stuff for photography. Subscribed.
I nailed every step, now I just need the couple part
Just about the best, concise posing video from a photographer I've seen in ages.
Thank you for the professional lesson! The models were charming and did a perfect job, just like you of course!
Why is this so satisfying to watch?!
I know right 😂
because of the blonde
This is getting addictive... : )
👨💻
Very
1 month ago, here in Vegas, was around 115 🥵 so props to him for wearing that turtleneck and suit…. Great video!!
No a/c in the studio?
I love how they are still holding each other while Jerry is giving advice. Very wholesome moment
You don't have to be the best, you simply have to be better than last week.
Thanks Jerry!
🙂 Funnily enough I’ve said to my Husband we really need to take some more photographs together. We mainly take selfie’s or indoor pics so boring my Husband told me give this a try. I’ve already learnt from so many of my mistakes from the first five minutes of watching this video. Thank you am gonna save this on my list we must give it a try 🥰🙂
i feel like these models (esp Jacob since this is his what, 5th or 6th session with Jerry?) are quietly amazed by Jerry's knowledge and are learning and tryna absorb everything the same time as we are
Exactly what I’ve been looking for in a tutorial. Amazing job ! Thank you
Great to hear!!
Jeez, this guy really knows what's he's talking about and the skill to convey it to other people. A true master of his craft
Great video and seen just in time for me covering my daughter's wedding on Saturday!
Amazing lesson, appreciate sharing this. Hoping for more lessons. Really love the your personal poses.
This was super interesting to watch! Lots of great tips even for me to keep in mind when I'm being photographed. Thanks!
11:42 "jacob looks like he has a double chin."
11:45 *couple giggles at the chin comment*
i loved that part so much lol
This content is grade A, fantastic delivery! The models are great, the lady is just wow, killer body/dress combo
standing in a wedding next week and this can up in my recommended, probably the only time since i joined youtube that a video actually came up that helped me for an approaching date
What a great teacher. I dont' give a damn about photography but I'll be coming back here for teaching craft. Photography's great too though!
Have been wanting to do a photoshoot of my sister and her husband for a while now. This has been recommended to me just in time. Thank you for this great tutorial!!
Wow, this is in short time a really professional process for amazing photos (with amazing models btw)
Excellent instruction, and the imagery kept up to tell the story well of what you were saying. (That’s harder than many know.). All good to know stuff, and I have been shooting for over fifty years.
Really fantastic job with a keen eye for progression. The details of a true pro show in the final product!
Amazing content and poses, totally like artistic figure and meaningful gesture on each pose. Furthermore the direction is on point in which pose supposedly better than the other and mistake that you should avoid. The direction is clear enough that the models know that the photographer directing to their best intention for better shot.
"How to Pose a Couple"
-1st step : Being photogenic
...hum Okay, nevermind.
There's always photoshop, dear. :))
he does the same exact thing with not-so-photogenic couples
1st step is find a girl to pose with
Step 1 A SHITLOAD of make-up
First you gotta be a couple
These are super helpful!! I’ve become more of a prompting over posing photographer to make everything more natural for couples, but these are tips I will definitely use! ☺️
Wow, this is awesome. I'm not even into photographing but this video randomly came into my recommended videos and I'm literally watching the whole thing. this is amazing. subscribed !
Just bombastic, how many subtleties in this matter, you showed it clearly, it's very useful. It turned out very cute and intimate, in beauty.
This presenter is not a photographer. We have the pleasure of watching a visual artist at work.
This makes me want to get into photography, it looks so cool and fun!
This is gold…like wow. I don’t know what’s next but I love this whole series of these 2
Thanks, Cody!
@@JerryGhionisPhotography thank you, I really hope to meet you one day as I grow and learn
Did not expect to learn this when I went online today, but learned it was. Excellent video.
His way of step by step making it better and better each new picture is amazing.
thanks for watching!
When a girl is this hot any pose looks great.
Life doesn't work that way
Hot doesn't always equal knows how to pose!!! Stop thinking with your peepee
"Life doesn't work that way and Hot doesn't always equal knows how to pose" are very good comments, but the girl is hot...
Spray and pray I bet is your method... you made a Really really ignorant statement..
@@sllewrevor she's.... Meh. I wouldn't say hot just meh
It's funny you say that about his hand around her waist, the other side benefit is if they break up, it makes it easier for her to crop him out without a floating hand remaining on her waist 😂
LOL pro tip right here!
" I have learned every pose now i need partner"...
Same bro
What I take the most from this is: "BEND THE KNEES!" Good class Jerry!
THIS DUDE IS AWESOME!!! Thanks for all the tips!
Wow. I love seeing you share your accumulated wisdom. Such a masterclass, I learned so much! Thank you!!
Thanks for your work. It's an amazing lesson.
You're so welcome!!
Ludwig and QT really be everywhere these days.
He might be a bit similar to Ludwig, but QT isn't even in the same fucking ballpark at this model.
Copium
Very good teacher, simple straight to the point and very skilled at giving instructions !!
such a beautiful couple the two models are! loved the video!
