Hoodie: Marc Ecko, Jeans: BDG, Shoes: Kenneth ColeUgh thanks to Issa’s horrible video of me shortly after I had woken up for the mask shoot, I feel like I have to redeem myself and show a picture of what I actually look like (somewhat) normally. Which I usually don’t do, because, you know, I like to keep the focus on the fashion (or else I just hate being in photos- take your pick). Well, other than the facial fuzz which I am only growing out because I'm taking time off from work (aka VACATIONFACE). Plus, I mean, all the cute fashion bloggers in Houston already have TEH BOIFLENDINGS and this makes me saddings as I have no incentive to show face.
So I am usually not a fan of hoodies, but the BigBro got me and the LilBro these awesome hoodies for Christmas and I will make an exception for that. Because these babies fully zip up:
AWESOMMMMMEEEEEThis also leads me to another question, which is a problem I have encountered since guest posting on WWT and which lately more than a few of my friends have pointed out. How the heck do people pose? I’ve got my like one or two generic mannequin poses, but then after that, it feels like I should be doing more.
I think girls have more variety (AGAIN, ugh, I hate fashion) when it comes to poses. I mean they can pose against a wall and look seductive or they have more hair to play with and look down, etc etc. Guys, I don’t know man. What do we have? Both hands in pockets. One hand in pocket. Other hand in pocket. Hands behind back. Did I cover it all? I think so.
The standard generic hands-behind-back pose.
Well, I guess now that my head is showing, I can do the hand in the hair pose.See... and then I'm out of ideas. Here are some other poses I thought might work out in future posts:
The pelvic thrust pose
The I-just-saw-a-hot-girl-so-I-am-biting-my-knuckles pose
The standard asian peace sign pose
The kind-of-sleazy-winking-at-you pose
The kinda douchebag-pointing-at-the-camera pose. Well, combined with jumping. There are never enough jumping shots in the fashion world.Anyway, maybe I am making this out harder than it actually is, but, what can I say. I'm more comfortable behind the camera than in front of one.
Looks like you're pretty comfortable in front of the camera too! Fashion poses are fun to make up. I like the pointing at the camera one. The weirder the better =D
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Dru, you are not alone in the how do I pose arena. I have the same issues so I usually end up looking frightened or psycho, neither of which are good looks. Haha... Anyway, I don't think you have anything to worry about I think all of the poses you came up with are awesome. LOL. Specially the douchebag one!
ReplyDeleteDru!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome hoodie. I'm a big fan of all your poses. Well done. lol
Gee, I would have bought a 18-200VR if I knew better. That's the best lens for a DX. I don't think you'd need anything else with your 50 f/1.8. 28-70 f/2.8 gets a lot of lens envy from guys but I must admit I would rather have a 18-200.
I love the way your photos look. They are fabulous. Your style I guess. I don't think I can 'copy' that even if you tell me how you post process each of them.
Happy Holidays. :)
xoxox songy
Is this a new trend? This is the second time I'm seeing a Robot full zip hoodie.
ReplyDeletesuch a cool idea, but a little scary!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you, Dru! We love the jumping pose- and we totally understand how you feel about the posing. Cath and I prefer the goofy grin ourselves because we can't figure out how to pose like models. I usually like how the guys in the UO catalog pose- pretty casual, but as I say, we do love your jump! Love the hoodie too!
ReplyDeleteThat hoodie is so classic!
ReplyDeletelol Dru, your honesty is so refreshing. I do suppose men are somewhat limited in the 'standard' list of male poses. Perhaps next time imitate a fledgling chick. That would make for an interesting one.
ReplyDeleteThat hoody is wicked! May the force be with you. Hope the WWT crew had a fantastic holiday season
The pelvic thrust = yes! And I so need that hoodie in my life.
ReplyDeletehahaha that hoodie is total Awesomeness! lol
ReplyDeletewait, i just realized that u guys are 30 somethings.
ReplyDeletereally?
NO WAY!
Season's Greetings :o)
ReplyDeleteLove the hoodie, it looks awesome!!
ReplyDeletei so lvoe the look!
ReplyDeletepelvic thrust SO SCARY.
ReplyDeleteI love this post:) The jumping-pointing shot has got to be my favourite! You are right, those kind of shots are never enough.
ReplyDeleteThat hoodie is the best thing EVER.
ReplyDeleteEnd of.
:)
Haha...my vote is for the hand in hair pose, classic.
ReplyDeletedru thats a wicked hoodie,love the print on the hood.
ReplyDeletehope your well dear x
Muah
Marian
ahhh super rad hoodie!
ReplyDeleteThanks for showing your face even though you hate being in photos!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha this hoodie is awesome ^^ I have problems with posing too. Every time I stand in front of the camera I ask myself 'What kind of face should I pull?' WHERE THE HECK SHOULD I PUT MY HANDS? You see, I never know what to do with my hands.
But you're right, girls have more possibilities.
The last pose is awesome though!!!
lol.. i vote for the hand in hair pose. love it
ReplyDeletethat is a fricken awesome hoodie!
ReplyDeleteyou are toooooo funny! first, that hoodie is WAY COOL! Second, I love that last jumping pose-it is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteWOW that is a heckuva cool hoodie - wish I had gotten one for my brother for Christmas, he would love it!
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is such a WINNNNNNNNARRRRRRR ♥
ReplyDeletewow love what you're wearing! + your blog.
ReplyDeleteHey Dru!
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my blog;)
To be honest, I don't think you need any help with posing...You are good as it is...Just loosen up a bit , relax and it will be perfect!
I want to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy New Year filled with lots of joyful events and fun experiences! :)
I vote for the jumping.
ReplyDeleteBut I think your pelvic thrust pose needs more THRUST. Maybe I should show you the power walker pose, you would love it. Maybe I should do a post on it....
i have to know, who makes this hoodie and where can I find it?
ReplyDeleteThat is a wicked sweater.... :)
ReplyDelete"biting my knuckles pose" is classic!
ReplyDeleteThat's one badass hoodie, wow!
ReplyDeleteCertainly didn't expect to see that as I was scrolling through...(smile)
Happy New Year!
xxx

ReplyDeletethat hoodie is beyond amazing. no lie.
ReplyDeletexoxo,

ReplyDeletehappy new year my darlings! looking forward to seeing what you'll be wearing in the new yr.
ReplyDeletemuah x
Marian
May the force be with you ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you all at we wear things!
ReplyDeleteYou're hilarious! Not to mention, pretty cute. :wink:
ReplyDeleteI'm going to suggest in addition of pelvic thrust and so on...the 'I'm washing my hair under the waterfall' pose. Look up, eyes closed, both hands behind head as if there's a squirrel behind your head.
Btw. Great pics taken by you.
Thanks for all the comments everyone! And Tracy- I'd try that pose, but I don't know if upshots of my nostrils would be very flattering
ReplyDeletehey dru, hope u had a lovely holiday. plz resend comment, somehow i made it dissappear:$ (damn u technology!) x, A.
ReplyDeletelol. i enjoyed the labels with different poses. that hoodie is crazy awesome.
