You basicly take two diffrent types of picture, one is for compairson and refrence they are full body shots front back in the same poses.

Theres a few videos on youtube on how to do the manditory poses, I still cant do them lol. It takes ages to get them right. but anyway give it your best shot.

Now these generaly you keep in your log for your own refrence like maby your post some of the good ones on websites ect - but generaly there for you.

The second type is more art poses, you use these for stuff like websites ect these are designed to show you at your best, so you dont have to do manditory poses, you can do the ones that make you look the best, my fave is that weird variation of a most muscular that i do in my avitar.

My advice is to take a look at the various bodybuilding magazines/sites and find poses that you like the look of and try and copy them. make a scrapbook of the various poses you like (make sure you have a discalmer at the front of the scrap book with somthing like "mom - dad, whoever finds this im not a homo - its bodybuilding research..")

Theres a book on clasical posesing on the sandowplus.co.uk site but thats more art photography but still its intresting to see what you need to do to make a good photograph.

Lighting in both cases makes or breaks a picture, also things to think about is thinks like tan, oil ect. it makes a big diffrence.

Also another factor is weather your pumped or pre training. When you see guys that always have there photos in a gym toilet, changeing room then you know that there always takeing there refrence photos in the maximum pumped up state - thats the very best that these guys will look. When you see a dude with no sweat, in a location outside the gym odds are its unpumped this is much harder to look good. because theres not so much blood in the muscles. But its easyer to tell the true condition on someone this way.

One of the very oldest tricks is to take a unpumped picture at a bad angle then 6 weeks later take a pic with good lighting, pumped to the max with good poseing. (gaspari's old adds were always like that.)

anyway as to your photo your a lean streak of piss! no need to lose any weight just do the "see food" diet for a few years. Stick to a good program and your soon add some weight.

Be carefull of guys asking for your pics as well mate, your a young fella and unfortunatly forums are subject to freaks. Contact a admin/mod if somthing dosent sound right.
