This Mini Episode, John shares some tips on posing same-sex couples as well as some ideas you might want to incorporate into every photoshootThe short answer is that you should photograph same-sex couples the same way that you photograph any other couple. But the problem lays in how we photograph couples.Many photographers pose couples in masculine and feminine roles; the groom does this, the bride does that. I suggest to not pigeonhole anyone into a certain type of posing.If you typically have the groom (in hetero couples) in more masculine poses such as wrapping his arms around the bride, or giving piggyback rides, or following when being lead by the bride down the path, then it’ll be more difficult to photograph any couple who doesn’t have an obviously more masculine presenting partner.So, instead of only having one of the partners do things like bear hug or cuddle, switch it up throughout the session. Get to know your couple before their photoshoot. This will allow you to photograph them in the most comfortable poses for them and their relationship.Pose them according to their personalities and notice is they are uncomfortable in certain roles.Love is love, couples are all different, no matter who they are in relationship with. Treat them as a couple in love with each other, and capture that love the best way possible by allowing them to show that love to each other in their own way.
