CAROLINE'S POSING SYSTEM
POSING AND DIRECTING FOR GORGEOUS PORTRAITS
IN MINIMAL TIME, EVERY TIME!
I created Pick Up Points so that I could consistently create more emotional photos, even with my shyest clients. I wanted better flowing shoots - no more awkward pauses or creative blocks, and peace of mind at the end of every session that I got all of my signature shots.
Instead of memorizing a long list of poses and prompts, Pick Up Points allows me to focus on developing deeper connection with my clients instead - my shoots are unforgettable experiences in and of itself - my clients leave feeling more empowered and connected from tapping into a deeper emotional place.
I am excited to share my system with you so that you can also quickly warm up any client and deliver consistently moving portraits, regardless of personality types.
“I’ve just finished watching Caroline Tran’s Pick Up Points, and they are pure gold. Caroline taught me to break up my shoots into 10 to 15 minute manageable blocks, called Pick up Points, to help achieve genuine expressions, maintain control over the shoot and ultimately have a flow that’s inspiring.
These are short and sweet videos and incredibly informative, and I’m now more confident in being able to deliver full-of-life photos within a short time.
Whether you are a more seasoned photographer, or you’re just starting out, Caroline Tran’s Pick up Points will absolutely inspire you and improve your workflow. I couldn’t recommend these enough! Thank you Caroline for continuing to amaze and inspire me. My photography business and skillset has improved incredibly thanks to you.”
