Award Winning Photographer CHANELLE brings decades of experience from the world of digital design and model photography. CHANELLE realized early on that photographers often have difficulty communicating with models on their vision and how they want the model to appear in their vision. CHANELLE found the simplest method is to show the model a photograph of the pose, and then instruct the model on the finer points, such as hand position and arm position. That’s when the Model Posing Database (MPD) was created. These select 1000 poses are from a vast collection created through collaborative efforts that CHANELLE now shares with you.
