The best poses often feel strange in your body but translate beautifully in the lens. Engulfed - Sink into the sofa, not to relax but to disappear — let your limbs follow its soft curves so you almost become part of the furniture itself. Feet on the cushions: Lie on the floor and lift your legs up the side of the couch; it creates an unexpected vertical line that elongates the body and feels cinematic. Resting on edges: Use the edge of a plinth or chair as a point of tension — arch your back against it, or let your hand hang off loosely, like gravity’s pulling you into the frame.

The Power of Empty Space

Sometimes a sofa cropped halfway, or a foot rest sitting off to the side, can speak louder than a perfectly centred shot. Use light as part of the composition: Let natural shadows fall into the blank areas. The beige backdrops in our studio reflect light softly, giving even negative space a warm, dimensional tone.

Play With Depth: Use foreground and background layers. Let something small — like a folded throw or ceramic cup — occupy a distant corner while negative space surrounds you. This draws attention to your pose without clutter.
