OOOhhhh Mannn!!!! All these years, I've been having the girl stand up hill, on something, or artificially elevating them. AND often these days, the girl is taller than the guy. THIS is going to save my poses and make for a much more natural upper body composition. THANK YOU Peter Hurley! You are my new and most favorite professional poser! I'm also linking some of your "how to pose" videos to my clients prior to our sessions.
Bumped into this video a week ago. My sister is 6' and I'm 5' 2 so this trick definitely helped photographing her college graduation a ew days ago! Thanks.
Or get an orange box for vertically challenged to stand on.. This option often results in altitude sickness, so its a good idea to have oxygen on standby ;)
Edward Millership I get it, but in today's "politically correct" (read: pansy) society you'd be surprised to know that people go out of their way to use ridiculous euphemisms so they "don't offend" anyone xD
+Peter Hurley You should make one short video about camera height/angle -> subject or one about glasses/reflections :) Love your stuff, I gotta make time to read your book soon!
Nice, but what if people can't do this or aou can't do this? For example they are older or you have the major of the city near his secretary in a pressmeeting ... Can't make the major a balancing act ... Oh, he slips ...
Hmm, I just naturally do that when I shoot as I'm pretty tall myself. Never had people do it, but I personally do it behind the camera. And I look weird as fuck, but it's great :)
I wonder what Peter thinks about how males on dating apps like Tinder have more success when they don't look directly into the camera and have black and white pictures.
I would think it would be based on the shot, so would have to be determined on a shot to shot basis. Generally, people do look more put together when they aren't staring down the barrel of a lens, so that might have something to do with it.
Your a funny dude but you are the king of headshots. Hey I got one for you, what if you never met the couple and you didn't know the guy was so tall when you saw there couple portrait and then you meet them in person, I would be like woal you look shorter in the photo dude did you grow since the photo? what would most people think?
You wouldn't be able to hold it properly keeping your torso vertical while getting your chin out. It's a lot more comfortable and better on the body to spread em.
"We have a giant problem" LMAO! Thanks for the great tutorial!

Hurley-man your quickly becoming one of my fav photogs!
Great tip! Thank you for posting! 🌹
Nice! Thanks!
This is pretty awesome! I loved "hold your sub" and now I love this one too!!!!
*You are so funny!!* 😜😂
3:47 seems like it doesn't work for full body shots. ROFLMAO
ROFLCOPTER
I knew you were gonna do that at the end! 🤣
So much fun...great video!!!

Great. I'm six foot three. My wife's about 5' 4".
This helps tonnes.
im 5.0 n wife is 6.2
your work is awesome good luck peter
Been doing this for years! People always give me weird looks, but it keeps me from looking weird in the photo!
The quality of my pictures is directly proportional to Peter and Karaminder's hair length.
I'll keep growing it then!

Just say "short". There's nothing wrong with the word "short" in and of itself.
Tongue in cheek, or didn't you get that from all the other words used..
Edward Millership I get it, but in today's "politically correct" (read: pansy) society you'd be surprised to know that people go out of their way to use ridiculous euphemisms so they "don't offend" anyone xD
It's true, people do go out of their way to point out that simple words can be misconstrued. Often unnecessarily...
That is short and to the point. :-)
that was some awesome info and your delivery was enjoyable as always :)
Sheri Johnson kiss
great work
Great tip, thank you to share it
Alaina!! Gorgeous as always! =D
Not something I usually say to guys...can't wait to use this! :P
Have learned a lot from you! Thanks!
Love it!!!
You are amazing!
This is like the most awesome late night infomercial
I think the spread em looks weird in full body pictures.
duh lol
Hee hee
Nice tips!!
Legend.
I'm trying gain wait. I don't need to slim my arms down in pictures😂
This is so simple as to be almost ridiculous, HOWEVER...I never would have thought of it! ;)
+Peter Hurley You should make one short video about camera height/angle -> subject or one about glasses/reflections :) Love your stuff, I gotta make time to read your book soon!
amazing I'm going to try this
I am tall, this is helpful.
Thanks much for the #Idea #Tips. That was great!
You need to make more videos. Love your videos.
Awesome tips....Thanks for the info...#SHABANG
Man, your awesome,...
Thanks for this Video 👍can Young make an Headshot with glases☺️please?
There's a video on that at www.headshotcrew.com and it's also in my book The Headshot!
Peter Hurley thank you 😄
i gonna check it
Steffen Rhode
amazing
Spread em
Nice tips
Had this in my shoot and they wanted to do a sunset so i was racing the sun and left this out and failed on at least 4 pix 😢
This is some real Zoolander shit right here! hhah but seriously this stuff is worth gold!
Well now you've got to make a video for us shorter guys!
thanks :)
Just watch Mr. and Mrs. Olympia contest ... and those are the positions. Period
Isn't it easier for the shorter person to stand on anything like a chair if you're not shooting the whole body?
wonderfull advice, can you make some video about long exporsure portray?
How low can Peter go?!?!?
You can spread 'em or......elevate the shorter model; ie apple crate.
well, it works for close ups, but for full body shots/groups, they will look weird spreading the legs like that 😅
Start Over 📍
This is my life. I'm 5'6" and my husband is 6'8".
Nice, but what if people can't do this or aou can't do this? For example they are older or you have the major of the city near his secretary in a pressmeeting ... Can't make the major a balancing act ... Oh, he slips ...
I dub this move: Adjust and Lower the Tripod Legs, :0
Hmm, I just naturally do that when I shoot as I'm pretty tall myself. Never had people do it, but I personally do it behind the camera. And I look weird as fuck, but it's great :)
Damn. Good tips -- but I just wanna present as half as cool as Peter presents himself. That's some serious cool. :-)

That's what I told her
Wouldn't bending your knees give the same effect?
You wouldn't be able to hold it properly keeping your torso vertical while getting your chin out. It's a lot more comfortable and better on the body to spread em.
Thanks for explaining, keep up the good vids!
noble legs in korean parlance ;)
Amazing how you can turn a ten-second tip into a 5:23 video! Lol
It takes talent Jane Kailey!
i feel sad that peter shrunk n fell at the end of clip
You're like a sherpa
a good tip for someone who is in a wheelchair.
maaaaan, thats OK, but how would I ask a person to spread his/her legs !!! that would be awkward for the person that I just met!!!
applebox 😀
Why not have the shorter person stand something
year 2050: mommy mommy wasn't grandad a 7 foot giant,now he looks almost as tall as 5foot5 grandma, are these pics Photoshop?
cant you afford a stool or what is goin on?
this is absurdly stupid . unless ur only getting a bust shot. this is hilarious however
Ha ha, it will look stupid if you do a full body shot, but this guy is a head-shot specialist
He's a headshot photographer.
Seems only good for above the chest..lol
Read his shirt
