Featuring Guest Photographer and Educator, Frank Dispensa

From headshots to full-length, sitting and standing, Frank will explore how light direction, body angle, head tilt, and hand and arms position can make the difference between an unflattering portrait and a great one making subjects look their best. - Jak na to + styl
This is REAL portrait photography
This is the best video I've ever seen for posing males and females.
Nicholas Fox You should check out Jerry Ghionis.
Bethany is a young Catherine Zeta-Jones... so lovely!
Frank's such a PRO, wow he really knows what he's doing.
i can not believe this on was made 10 years ago, still extremely valuable now
Thank you for amazing works!
It is amazing how the little things make such a big difference in how pleasing the subject looks in the pose. Thanks for explaining it so eloquently.
I don't think Frank could ever be described as smug or rude. He's confident and self-assured, provided clear instructions to the models and described to the viewer exactly what he was doing and why. Not only is Frank an expert in his field, he's a great teacher.
I read through some of the comments and I have to agree - Frank Dispensa knows his stuff and he is an excellent teacher. This is BY FAR the best posing tutorial I have ever seen. I will definitely be watching this video several times to make sure it all sinks in. Really great stuff. But right now I have to search CZcams to see what else he has out there. Thanks!
One of the best videos on the net for this type of photography. Master photographer and by far one of the most stunning looking woman I've ever laid eyes on!
+George Georgopoulos Stunning!
I 2nd that! She is gorgeous!
Frank is an "Old Master" at photographic posing. One of the best I've ever seen.
Coming from an individual who has looked through a lot of the popular photographers on the internet, this is such an eye opener. It shows how important and how beneficial a legitimate education can improve your understanding of lighting and composition. The experience of the not only the artists but the models really show with the methodology displayed here.
Thank you so very much for sharing this!
I agree with you. This goes back to the classic look of photography. there is really an art to it. and it makes a huge difference.
Regardless of this tutorials age, it's still an excellent learning process. I never thought I would be educated by an old school 'wise guy' photographer....lol. Frank did an outstanding job explaining and discussing the classic portrait posing standards. Kudo's for this outstanding tutorial !!!
Great Video!Easy to understand and I love how Frank shows "the right" and "the wrong" way so you can see the difference. Great job Frank and team!
Invaluable classic posing instruction. What a treasure of a reference. Thanks!
Wow, that was an incredible amount of knowledge to pack into a very short video. I will be watching this one a few more times just to absorb it all. Tank you so much to Frank, Joe, Bethany and Phil for the very hard work you all put in! And the rest of the team of course. I'm still amazed that this information is available to the public for free! Such experts
Frank's a genius! So instructional. That hour and thirteen minutes passed by so quickly. Respect to all who worked on the best posing video on CZcams by far. Thank you so much M-O-C.
Frank I appreciate, that you're willingness to share your expertise and experience that you learned over a career.
Thank you I've learned a lot from watching you work.
Thank you so much for all this priceless info. I learned more from your video than I have in three yrs of college and working in a studio. TY so much and please keep making these great tuturials
Frank - you just became a legend in my book! Awesome Instructions! Thanks for passing on tradition and the knowledge you worked so hard for!
since the publication of this video i have watch it like three times, it help so much to understand posing i really appreciate your work
This must be the BEST video on posing I ever watched, very well done, I learnt heaps. Please get Frank to co-this series, he is GREAT!
I keep watching it again and again, so nice and easy to follow. I love the way he telling and comparing feminine and masculine composition.
Without a doubt the BEST posing video I’ve ever seen! CLASSIC!!!! 👍
This is plainly excellent! Concise, to-the-point, and extremely educational; everything one ever needs to know about classical, timeless posing.
Thanks for the efforts & for publishing it here for free.
The guest photographer and educator, Frank Dispensa was on point! You can tell can take pictures with his eyes closed! I learned so much in this video. My gosh, I'm still taking it all it. I plan to watch this video at least a dozen more times until I have all the poses memories. I hope they do a part two dealing with Asians and African-American particularly because Mr. Dispensa said there is a slight different in lighting etc. I know this video is 3 years old so will search on this channel but if they do have a part two, I hope they consider it. Thanks for sharing your expertise Mr. Dispensa! You are amazing and so was the host of the show.

The best posing video on youtube by a mile.. The older gentleman is a master art photographer... He knows the craft inside out...
This is one of the best ever lessons in posing.
Definitely one of the most helpful videos I have ever watched as far as posing and some real basic lighting goes.
Thank you soooo much for fluff free straight to the point concise posing tutorial. I always find it useful to cover what looks right and not so right and why. And you covered this beautifully. Thumbs up for the lovely models too! Awesome!

Great video,very helpful and informative,lots of refinements in there to make the difference between a good photo and a great photo - thankyou Frank.
The best I have ever seen on a computer.Thanks for sharing
Man, Frank Dispensa is amazing. A wealth of knowledge.
I am amazed at how much info was in an hour! Thank you so much for offering this!
awesome, and he is like watching the Photographer version of Al Pacino. Nice
I'm loving this. Parobolic main, with a softbox splash fill. I'm back to lighting 101. Everything I did when I was actively shooting. Great lighting, posing tutorial.
Thanks for the outstanding lesson. The instructor is a great artist, the models are perfect. Every single second of the video contains lots of information. Thanks for what you are doing, guys!
Fantastic and brilliant video. I've been struggling with portraits until now. This is my reference video that I keep watching to memorize the techniques for portraiture photography. Thank you so much.
watched the first 30min so far and this video has already blown my mind away. awesome stuff !!!
I don't normally comment of youtube videos but I just watched two of these videos and the information is crazy rich. I felt like I was in class in college really learning. I could just think baak to so many photos that I have seen of powerful people hanging on various walls and in various gallaries and this guy was spot on.
awesome video, somewhat intimidating. I had no idea how much i didn't know..need to watch this a few times to retain all the great info.
Frank, you are the best!!! Thank you very much.
I have watched this several times and I love those guys, very informative and entertaining
Wow, Frank Dispensa is outstanding... A wealth of knowledge!
a million thanks im blown away great models and wow frank your amazing i will watch it over and over till it all sinks in.
This is the best studio portrait I've seen by far! Thanks for the great job!
I am a photo realistic oil portrait painter and for me this was an amazing video full of priceless information. Thank you very much
En Tee your hot
Am I the only one who thinks that the straight-on photo of the girl at 1:04:42 is absolutely stunning? Her gaze, neck, the geometry of her collarbone and the dress -- they're beautiful. When he twists her with the arms up and head to the side, her neck and the collarbone just disappear. I'm all about learning proper posing techniques, but you always have to find the right angles for each subject. I personally think that "bad" photo was the best shot of the entire shoot.
+Ksenia Verdiyan
I think its croped to high but I agree i think its the best picture, others make her look a litle overweight.
Wow, Frank is amazing. And the models, they're both beautiful. Thank you very much.
Excellent presentation full of useful techniques, poses and theory. Bethany did look discomfited at one point but she coped well with the high standard demanded of her and relaxed well towards session's end. Frank packed a lot in and all his teaching points made sense. Invite him to do another session. Well done, everyone, who featured in the presentation!
What a great workshop.... thanks for making this public!
one of the best video's i,ve seen on posing Frank is awesome
Bring Frank back for more classes. You can tell that he has a wealth of knowledge. Great job guys.
The best video on posing on the internet no doubt - wish i could meet Frank , thanks for putting this material together
Thank you! God bless you all!
Thank you so much this video was so informative and definitely the best studio portrait tutorial I've ever seen 👍🏻
This video is POWERFUL, the best indeed! Thank you so much for posting this on youtube
This is the BEST video I have ever seen on this topic. Really excellent! Thanks!
Worth watching again. Thank you.
One of the best tutorials i have seen on youtube!
A true master of his craft. Impressive!
Frank Despensa, like Monte Zukor and Joe Zeltsman before him, is giving you a lesson in classic posing in formal portrait photography...pay attention, it doesn't get any better than this. I was lucky enough to have studied with Monte and it was the best learning experience of my career.
Wow I am a professional photographer who have worked for the past 30 yrs and still learned something that I am sure to use. So
Amazing to have a formula. Mostly we go by what looks good but this show exactly why anything go just keep shooters from knowing what really works. Thank Frank.
Great video. Wonderful model and cannot say enough good things about the host. Frank is by far a great artist with solid knowledge and great flow overall .
How he actually hypnotize the model to move just from his hand gestures. Amazing video
The best education in studio photography I have seen. I learned a lot. And by the way, the model is so beautiful.
This is an excellent tutorial. I learned so much. Before the still I was picking out the wrong poses. Thanks again.
This photographer reminds me of Joe Pantoliano! I've definitely enjoyed this 'classroom in my living room' experience. Great video - and a fantastic resource.
Thank you for the lesson! Harmony is nice, simple and obvious but its rules should be taught through the lessons like this, especially in combination with looking at classical paintings. Thus the right proportions, body language and lighting can be partly learned almost subconsciously.
Excellent, went to college and our in class courses weren't this well detailed, purposeful and demonstrated. Kudos to the Bethany and Phil who (due to time constraints) were open to direction and direct positioning by Frank. Frank you are a true professional, thank you!!
Frank do you have a CZcams channel as well?
one light source, simple background, very educated video for me who just start in photography. thanks
One of the awesome video that I have seen in CZcams regarding Postures... Thanks for uploading...
Can't thank you enough for all the precious lessons and tips I learnt from this video tutorial! God bless you all and good luck!
great tips and beautiful model .
Outstanding guide for posing.
Brilliant. Great conceptual teacher.
I was looking for this for a long time. Information that explains small differences between good and bad. THANKS!
Best I have ever seen, very well done program. Explains how and why.
Very good instructor and knowledge Frank has.
2021 and it is still the best how to pose in a very classic fundamental portrait. today we got that trendy pose and trend will die but classic is forever stays. I watch this video many time Soni can remind my self what to look for . thank you so much again .
Incredibly informative. Fantastic teaching video!
She is stunning, and he is a great teacher
Great video! Frank is teaching, not doing a portrait session, so I think he is interacting with her as an employee for demonstration and not as a female client being talked to sharply. I appreciate Frank sharing his know-how. : )
The fact that you think there is a difference in talking to an employee and a client worries me. I am sure that if you talk to an employee with the same attitude as you would 'use' on a client, that your employee would feel respected more and be more productive and willing to do the extra mile.
Great video and I agree, that woman is absolutely mesmerizing. She must be a different species from me.
Thank you very much for the informative education of lighting and posing techniques,
It was a truly great experience watching Mr Frank putting all his effort to educate
every viewers. It was a valuable experience.Best I liked about the video is, It had a spice of humour.
Thank you Frank, you are REAL Pro!
I don't comment much on CZcams but this video deserves it. Plethora of very useful information. Thank you very much
Still must finish but I am impressed with the level of teaching on this video. It is precise, concise and worth watching many times over.
