shoulder and you don’t tilt toward the low shoulder, you tilt toward the shoul-
der that looks good.
Long Hair.When photographing a woman with long hair, I look to the hair
and not the gender to decide the direction the head will be tilted and the di-
rection in which the body will be placed. Long hair is beautiful, and there must
be an empty space to put it. A woman’s hair is usually thicker on one side of her
head than the other. The tilt will go to the fuller side of the hair and the pose
will create a void on the same side for it to drape into. This means she will some-
times be tilting toward the lower shoulder.
When subjects have long hair, tipping the
head toward the fuller side of the hair
gives it room to fall into.
