Posing in front of a camera is the core art form of the artistry called Modelling. It enables models with an opportunity to create a new story in every frame and adds further depth to your posture. However, thinking of new poses can sometimes be challenging. So, we did the job in this article to help you create portraits that flatter.
Introduction
Kathak, as practised today, is a beautiful example of the intermingling of Hindu and Persian culture. Known for its graceful movements & exemplary facial expressions, Kathak poses add elegance to your shots at photoshoot sessions.
Before we begin, it is vital to know the Utpatti position, meaning the origin stance.
In this, you keep your hands in Arala Mudra, with your forefinger and thumb touching and the other three fingers stretched out.
With this finger arrangement intact, place your hand in front of your chest with palms facing downwards and fingers pointed at each other. Every hand movement arises from the Utpatti position.
Now let us learn the postures that follow next.
A quick note to keep in mind while making mentioned poses is not to follow them rigidly. The practice here is to let your hands flow under the blueprint of these stances and, in the process, discover your own pose suitable to the occasion out of it. Remember, Improvisation is the key.
- From the Utappati position, extend out one arm diagonally upwards.
- Folding the forearm at the elbow, move it back near the chest with the palm facing out.
- Simultaneously stretch out the other arm diagonally downwards with the palm facing out.
- From the Utappati position, extend out one arm parallel to the ground with your palm facing upwards.
- Take this arm to form an arc above your head.
- Extend the other arm diagonally outward by 120 degrees by unfolding your forearm at the elbow.
- From the Utappati position, roll out both your arms in the opposite direction. Tracing a circular path, bring your hands above your head with palms facing upwards.
- Slightly turning your head to the right and looking at your arms will add more charm to the pose.
- From the Utappati position, circle out one arm. Bring it above your head with the palm facing upwards.
- While doing so, maintain the other arm in the Utpatti Position.
- From the Utappati position, roll your wrists inside and move out your arms in opposite directions.
- Move one arm upwards and the other diagonally downwards with palms facing out. They will curve out like a bow
- From the Utappati position, slowly raise both hands on one side while rotating your wrists in opposite directions.
- Bring your arms near the forehead, palms facing out and fingers bent inwards.
- Bring your palms together with the little finger touching and the palms cupping in the centre. This stance is called Anjuri.
- Now, cover your face with Anjuri and then slowly move them apart as if opening a curtain and lift your eyes gracefully.
- Imagine holding a veil over your head between your thumb and forefinger.
- Rotating your wrist slowly, slide down your hand as if drawing the veil across your face, lowering your eyes.
- Then roll out your wrists and slowly glance upwards through the diaphanous veil, maintaining the expression of shyness.
To make the poses look more appealing, always follow the rule “yato hasta tato drishti”, meaning wherever the hands go, the eyes follow.
