The difference

A pose locks people up. Direction sets them free.

A pose gives the body an order. Direction gives the person a reason. That is why one photo looks like a stiff studio session and the other looks like a real moment with a personality in it.

The photographer who poses
"Smile."
The photographer who directs
"Tell me the last thing that properly made you laugh."
The photographer who poses
"Put your hand on his waist."
The photographer who directs
"Pull him in like you are freezing."
The photographer who poses
"Look at the camera, serious face."
The photographer who directs
"Think about the day you decided to start this."
The photographer who poses
"Walk naturally."
The photographer who directs
"Walk like you are late for something important."
The photographer who poses
"Now look at each other."
The photographer who directs
"Whisper your favourite thing about her in her ear."
If you photograph people

You know how to use the camera.
The trouble starts when someone stands in front of it.
