Pose

310

It’s the rarest few who naturally captivate the spectator’s view

You find it funny now, but who’ll be laughing later?

The ‘back a bit’ gag only works with real jeopardy

Making it look perfectly natural in front of unforgiving cameras

Most people need to learn; a very few just can

The ‘back a bit’ gag works perfectly with modest jeopardy

Is it only me, thinks every portrait is a selfie?

Looking over your shoulder is not always a wary gesture

A memory in the making: an embarassment in the taking

Avoid the ‘back a bit’ gag when facing genuine jeopardy
