Cosplay Posing Reference Sheets
-*WJS Cosplay Photography Blog*-
I made a short post with samples of sketches/studies that cosplayers can use for posing references. I save sketches like these onto my phone to use on shoots when I want to show them a pose and for whatever reason I can’t demonstrate it for them. Sometimes I even take a look during a shoot for inspiration and modify them for whatever fits. If you save these onto your phone for yourself as a cosplayer, I wouldn’t try to memorize them outside of one or two. Mimicking can be very useful but getting too attached and thinking these are the “right” way to hit these poses is counterproductive. Have fun with them and see how you naturally end up coming up with your own unique poses! And as always, ‘feminine’ and ‘masculine’ are just guidelines and there’s no reason you can’t execute either!

And of course, you can also take inspiration from your anime series or a similar series.
Yep, I even save kpop girlbands to my phone because the poses are really useful on the set sometimes. Hope these helped!

There’re examples there of the ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ poses being used for either gender and it can also give you an idea of how you can modify example poses and create your own!
