Dan2593 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Last year I did the simple "Stand close, smile, go" thing. This year I wanted to ask guests (REALLY NICELY) if they would mind doing a specific pose. But I wasn't sure how to go about it. Is it even done? I think I remember seeing a few posed pictures last year on the table. And some people have pretty cool pictures as profile pictures of them and guests posing. But how do you go about this? Do you just ask for a pose? Do they take the lead or expect you to? I was planing to get Alex to pull a "Shh" style pose as it's pretty River Song style. How would I go about this?

Moderators DavidB Posted May 24, 2011 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2011 Basically it's your judgement. You'd have to ask the guest when you get up to them. Sometimes you can look and see what others are doing. The worst they can say is no.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dufresne Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 How would I go about this? Well short of telepathy, surely there is only one way ..... ask the guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BACYLON Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Oh guests do poses in fact most of them enjoy it, as it breaks up the monotomy of 300 standard smiling photos. As people have suggested, ask politely, try to build a rapport with the guest prior to the photo session and as in the case below, maybe ask them to decide what they would like to do!! And yes...any excuse to post this photo!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon Robert would do it too, as long as it's not at too busy a time!!! Good luck! And where is the original print framed? And how large is the scanned in reprint? LOL! Wouldn't be your avatar on Facebook, too? :) Luckily the photographer sent me the JPEG (the above is only a scan tho) - Gonna get it printed as A3 and signed by Tricia when I see her in September and then by Katee the next time i see her. As for facebook - i was using it but currently, I'm using this photo with Caprica's Alessandra Torresani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stenun Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I always ask guests for a certain pose - I ask them to pose with The Hat. http://www.flickr.com/photos/stenun/sets/72157618633487120/ And responses have varied wildly. Jewel Staite (photo 12) smiled politely and posed beautifully. Bruce Boxleitner (photo 13) remarked that The Hat was "Sam Spade" like and we talked briefly about film noir. George Takei (photo 30) laughed uproariously at the request and almost snatched The Hat out of my hands, he was soo keen to do it . Only four have said no - two it turns out weren't doing photos (I hadn't seen the sign for one saying so, the other had no sign up at all), and two just said no flat out. (No, I won't name them.) But as you can see, far more guests have said yes than have said no. So my advice would be to ask, with your best smile, and most of the time they'll be happy to.

BeatrixKiddo88 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) I used to be way too shy to ask for poses or personalisations on autographs. But as some of the guests coming soon are rare and may not be back for awhile, I dont want to miss my chance. Took my 3 seperate shoots to pluck up the courage to ask Eve Myles for a hug, might not have that many chances with Alex or Karen or whoever.

Rickman101 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 All you have to do is ask nicely. Just try not to be too disappointed if they say no (which some will for a variety of reasons, for instance there have been guests in the past who have requested not to be touched at all during shoots.) I'm glad I have asked in the past becasue I've had some great pics. Here's links to two of my faves: Pic 1 Pic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmilburn Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1...e=1&theater Robert did that on his own accord. Always worth asking as worst they can do is say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSM Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Mike Tyson was certainly animated at LFCC that's for sure. In my photo with him we were doing the DX wrestling crotch chop. Mike loved that! Robert Englund has got to be one of the betteryguys to ask to pose. In my pic with him he has his Freddy blades up to my throat! Whilst I was waiting for him I noticed he was changing his pose with everyone. I think the moral of the story as many people have already said is ask the guest, what's the worst they will say? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracoMalfoy Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Do the photographers take more than one photo of you with the same guest? So you can have a normal one and a funny posed one? x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middleman Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Do the photographers take more than one photo of you with the same guest? So you can have a normal one and a funny posed one? x Only if you buy more than one ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adriangill Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Do the photographers take more than one photo of you with the same guest? So you can have a normal one and a funny posed one? xIf you only purchase one photo shoot ticket, then you will only have one photo taken. If you require an additional photo then you will need to purchase an addtional ticket. There are occasions when the photographer may take an additional photo because they are not happy with how the first one turned out but that is not very often, and you may not receive a print of the first photo anyway.
