Are there any websites with suggestions on how to pose same sex couples?

Googling it, I just come up with sites I would rather not open. Couples and wedding poses would be appreciated if you have a decent link. Thanks.Are there any websites with suggestions on how to pose same sex couples?
Posing is all about effective use of body language and that is about sexual communication. The two key body language themes are dominance and submission. On top of this you need to pay attention to what works photographically / what is aesthetically pleasing, such as not having banana hands with fingers pointing directly towards the camera.





I'd base your posing on what you already KNOW works - discuss it with the couple involved and ask for their ideas. Watch them, check out their natural communication and body language, use that as a basis for your posing. Don't rush the job, spend time with them, incorporate their own style of body language into your images... communicate before you start as they may want an intimate / affectionate pose (not porno, but romantic).





Try the crossover, sat on the ground, legs out to one side, the partner behind, with their legs in the opposite direction, but their rearmost arm placed in front of the legs or torso of their partner.





I'd start off with:


The definitive book of body language, by Barbara and Alan Pease.





Treat them exactly as you would a heterosexual couple, it's likely that what they are after will emulate something they have already seen.Are there any websites with suggestions on how to pose same sex couples?
Not real sure. I suppose you would have to determine who is the ';Alpha'; of the partnership and make them the ';Male'; and the other the ';Female';. Then pose normally.

You may want to use a search key like ';Civil Unions Photography'; etc. That may help keep the less desirable ';adult site'; hits from coming up in a search.

I personally do not know any gay people. I was theorizing. I did provide a couple of links to help you along with the search.
Mere Mortal, that answer just broke my heart. What a stereotypical response. I really did expect better of you than to buy into the homophobic myth of the Male and Female of the relationship. How many gay people do you actually know?





Having learned this on my feet in San Francisco during those few mad cap weeks in 2004 when Gavin opened City Hall to all couples, Perki just pose them normally = put the taller partner in the back, put them side by side, pose them just as you would a straight couple. Its about the joy of the day, celebration of a union, not who's on top.





Edit: G: maybe you should take a loooooong look in your closet. Ewwwww is a homophobic response. BTW Gavin Newsom is straight, married, with a kid on the way. (Although I do agree he should not be governor. Make note of it.) Having lived in San Francisco for almost all of my adult life, I know many, many, many gay people and let me tell ya dearie, they want the same things outta life any straight person: Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Oh yeah, and the 2900+ civil rights that come with marriage. And the right not be sneered at by ignorant people.





As to having a heart, I have a huge one - just there's not enough left over for the self-important. Get some professional help.





Add'l Edit: Before y'all start jumping to conclusions, understand I am straight, but if it were possible for one to CHOOSE one's sexuality, I'd be a dyke.
A web site for a studio that does a significant amount of same-sex couple portraiture should give you some examples.





One suggestion is http://www.songofmyself.com/.
I'd just pose them same as an opposite sex couple. Let them decided who wears the skirt and pants.
