Salvatore Cincotta: 10 poses for men in two minutes. Let's do it. Pose number one.

Hands in the pockets. All right.  So let's get your hands right in the pocket.

Turn your chest this way. Okay. Face right at me. 

Little bit more. Perfect. Here we go.

One, two. One, two. Turn that chin a little bit more  this way.

Yep. Stay there. You're perfect.

Model: Awesome. Salvatore Cincotta: Here we go. Eyes right at camera.

Perfect. All right. Pose number two.

Messing  with your cuff links. All right. So keep them right there.

Just messing with that cuff link.  Yeah. And you're looking away.

You're not looking at me. Yeah. Right there.

Right there.  Just adjusting that cuff link. Look away.

Not really supposed to fix your  cuff links. It's just show. Model: Yeah, I know.

Yeah. Salvatore Cincotta: You're looking away. Perfect.

Pose Number three. Button the jacket. All right.

So let's change our  angle here. I'm going to put you right here. Model: Okay.

Salvatore Cincotta: Right there. Perfect. Come closer to me.

Good. I want your chest, yep, we can have your  chest here. Pretend to button it.

Don't put too much pressure on it. And again, you're looking  away right here. There we go.

One, two. Perfect. There we go.

One, two. Looking right at me.  Big smile.

Let it happen. And look away. One more time.

Pose number four. Checking what time  it is, because your wife is always late. Okay.

So let's go- Model: More that way? Salvatore Cincotta: . .

. square up to me. Yeah, let's mix it up there. 

Good. Checking the time, but you're looking away, opposite shoulder. Yep.

All right. Looking away.  Yep.

There we go. Love that. Looking away again.

Where is this woman? Model: Where is she? Salvatore Cincotta: She's always freaking late.

Pose number  five. He's sitting down. All right.

So let's have you sit. Spread your feet just a  little bit. Good.

Spread the feet a little bit more. Yeah. Not open them, just spread them.

Model: Okay. Salvatore Cincotta: There we go. Good.

Lean in on that one arm just a  little bit. Good. And you're looking this way.

Model: Okay. Salvatore Cincotta: Yep. I like that.

Hang tight. Obviously, we got to make sure the  details are there, but these are 10 poses you'll be able to get to relatively quickly in a  small spot. All right.

I like you looking away. Oh, I like this. Good.

Eyes on me. Smiling.  Perfect.

Looking away again, smiling. Right, there's my wife. She's finally on time.

Model: All right. Salvatore Cincotta: Not really, it's a lie. Here we go.

Looking right  at me. Pose number six. Cross the leg.

All right. Put both hands on the ankle. Go the other way.

Model: Yeah? Salvatore Cincotta: Yeah. Put the watch hand up  and put this on your wrist.

Yeah. Looking away. I like that.

Looking  at me. Good. And looking down to your left.

Good. Yep. Just laughing down there.

Good  shit going on. Eye contact, looking at me. Perfect.

Pose number seven. Walking. Start  walking through, looking at me.

Looking away. Let's do it one more time. Model: Yeah.

I think I was sprinting anyway. Salvatore Cincotta: So I like to do that twice. You're  sprinting.

You could walk even slower. Model: Okay. Salvatore Cincotta: So I like this one where they're walking because it just adds a little bit of motion and  action to it versus not a static shot.

Okay. And on the camera, you want to be in tracking  mode. So I want you looking at me and then looking away.

Looking at me, looking away. Okay?  Here we go.

And slow up the walk. It doesn't have to be so fast. Model: All right.

Got you. Salvatore Cincotta: One, two, three. Go for it.

Looking away. Pose  number eight. Leaning on the wall.

All right. Model: How do you want me to lean? Salvatore Cincotta: Let's open up that jacket.

Model: Okay. Salvatore Cincotta: I like this light coming in, so I want to have you lean right there. Model: Foot up or just leaning?

Salvatore Cincotta: Yeah, cross at the ankles. Model: Okay. Like this?

Salvatore Cincotta: Yeah, I like that. Don't cross the hands  like that. Leave this hand out.

Oh, no, no, no. I like that. That looked really  good.

And leave that hand out. Good. And you're going to be looking at me and then looking  away.

Oh, I like that. Good job. Back at me.

Stay there. Stay there again. I want to go wide. 

Let that foot cross, curl up a little bit. Yeah. There you go.

Perfect. No smile. Looking away. 

Right there. Perfect, dude. Let me go horizontal.

Looking away one more time. Perfect. Pose number nine.

All right. We're going to do something a little bit different. I like to add  perspective.

So I'm going to put you on this wall. Let's go over here. Good.

Leaning on that  wall. Just keep that elbow extended. No, no.

Keep the elbow extended. Give you separation off that  wall. Yep.

And you're looking away right there. Perfect. Yeah, right where you were looking. 

That's perfect. Good. Big smile.

Just laugh out loud there. Good. Looking at me, just cracking  up laughing.

Chin down. Yes. Perfect.

Good. Pose number 10. Jacket over the shoulder. 

All right. So let me show you how to do this. All right.

So for this, you're going to go two  fingers, and then this is going to go over your shoulder and then kind of pull it down, right? Model: Awesome. Salvatore Cincotta: So don't grab it, wrinkle it.

Model: Which hand? Salvatore Cincotta: Let's do your left hand. And what I  want to have you do is just one step, one step and rock.

But don't let your stance go  wide. Yeah, just like that. Good.

Digging the shoulders. Yeah. Turn your chest this way.

Face  this way. Yep. Right there.

Poke your thumb out. Here we go. Looking right at me.

Good job.  Looking right at me. There you go.

Looking away to your right. Cracking up laughing.  Good job.

And bonus pose, the Zoolander. All right, everybody, that's a wrap. Hopefully,  you enjoyed that.

That was 10 poses. I definitely gave you more than 10 poses, and we probably  definitely went more than two minutes, but hopefully it was worth it. Have fun with your  clients.

You're seeing how in a very small space without a whole lot of movement, we can get some  really killer portraits of your men. Get to it.
