Speed Posing
for
Photographers
Be a photographer that poses with precision + speed without stressing out, drawing blanks or failing to deliver a variety of images.
Have complete confidence in any photo situation.
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
"I'm behind my camera and my subjects are staring blankly at me... I have no idea how to proceed."
"I snap a bunch of extra frames of the same thing to give myself time to think."
"My clients don't know my mind is desperately racing to plan my next move."
"I get flustered because I run out of ideas and it makes me feel like I'm not good enough."
"I struggle with lack of confidence with I know they are relying on me to come up with good poses."
"I freeze up and start to worry if they think I am doing a good job."
"I lose confidence with couple who aren't naturals in front of the camera, if there's a tight timeline, or with really large bridal parties."
"I worry that I'll draw a blank, they'll sense my lack of posing skills and it will show in their expressions."
Tired of feeling unconfident, unprofessional and like you don’t know what you're doing in front of clients.
This course will show you how to be in charge of the moment and make it look effortless.
Why SPEED Posing?
...Not just posing.
- Most photographers pose well when they have an hour of time. But being able to pose in 10 minutes or less will save you when schedule is tight or running late.
- When you don’t have enough time it causes anxiety which leads to brain farts, disconnect from clients and hindering creativity.
- Posing needs to be easy and fast to keep your clients interested.
- Maximize quality images from a session when you have a short amount of time.
- Jump in confidently when timelines are tight and know how to get what you need quickly.
- You need the ability to move quickly while still accommodating everyone and getting good images out of the session.
- You need a strategy to vary the poses, angles and crops without slowing down.
- You have to work through the family photo list quickly while getting them to look natural in poses.
- You need to get quality, creative images from any session that are more than just “fine” for the client, but ones you can be proud of too.
- Having a plan that speeds up the staple photos means you get more time for creativity and exploration.

Hi! I'm Vanessa Joy
I’ve been a photographer for 20 years and I'm a Canon Explorer of Light. I know what it feels like to have a lack of confidence in a photo situation where all eyes are on you. I’ve learned and taught thousands of photographers exactly how to overcome that fear and anxiety, bring full confidence to any session and be memorable and engaging while doing it.
Posing couples used to be being the scariest part of the day. Posing is hard enough, but having no time to do it is down right daunting. I got fed up, and created my speed posing system which reduced my stress, and gave me dozens of poses to do that took very little time. I’ve shot incredible high-end weddings for 10 years and grossed over 2 million dollars so far, but I didn’t start out that way. I made a ton of mistakes and learned a lot the hard way. My new course will give you the short cut to outstanding, confident and beautiful posing that takes minutes seconds to nail.
The good news is that you can feel totally confident in delivering quality, creative images to your couples no matter what the day throws at you. Feeling lost, drawing blanks, fear of freezing up and losing time STOPS today!

Before I felt nervous about posing but now I feel empowered! The event was fun and informative. Vanessa is patient, articulate and professional. I can’t wait for her next course! "

Vanessa’s running commentary has so many tips and tricks to use outside of posed sessions. Now I am confident instead of awkward posing my clients."

"There's more than just photography to this course. Hints on the importance of the interaction, techniques such as crop circles and in and out of the family groups, planning the sequence of events are all invaluable lessons to be utilized in many portrait applications. The techniques to improve consistency and quality, while optimizing time most effectively, is important in organizing lifestyle poses while interacting to help relax the client. Before I felt stiff in my posing, now I am ore confident in shooting lifestyle photos."
Bill Baker
"I purchased speed posing and got to use the tools yesterday at my wedding. It worked perfectly since I only had 15 minutes to finish first look, groom portraits, bride portraits and bride/groom. I got it all finished in time! Thank you times a million for making this course!"
Stephanie Schnautz
"I had my first wedding to shoot not as a second, and the preview photos are not too shabby. @Vanessa__Joy and her speed posing really came in clutch. I was able to get through family formals lightning quick. The best part was starting the day confident in what I was doing."
Avery Holt

Davenna Greathouse Trahan

Nicholle Simpson
"I don't know if you'll ever see this but I purchased your "Speed posing for individual, couple & groups" course and it was the best investment. I used it for a wedding I covered and midway through the wedding the entire reception gave me round-of-applause!! - appreciating me...this was the bride's mother (that hired me) said (pay attention so some key words/phrases): "Chima, thank you. You have created a work of art. This is more wonderful than I imagined – the beautiful record of a few magical hours we’ll relive and treasure for years to come. You were the stage manager and coach of the wedding – the person who made it run gracefully. An integral part of the fun, too. Knowing we were in your gifted and capable hands, we all relaxed into the joy of Margaret and Michael’s day. I will have fun picking out photos to print, and sharing the link with family and friends. Here’s wishing you good health and happiness, and Anidobe Studio great success." Just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU - you course made all the difference. "
Chima Anidobe
"Hi Vanessa. Just a note to say thanks for a brilliant speed posing course plus your lighting book and other courses on flash and wedding posing that I have bought, inspire me every day. I love the fact that you keep everything short and sweet so I can watch segments when I have time and whilst you clearly know the techie stuff, you don't bore us with it but instead convert it into fun sessions with humor. "
Will and Sarah Photography
"Incredible Speed Posing course! I actually photograph business clients (not weddings) but this is so incredibly helpful for any portraits. I have stressed so much over "moving for new locations" and this course has taught me that is not necessary. Efficiency, light, wide apertures and good direction are my key take aways. Thank you Vanessa. "
