Poses vs. Images: What’s the Difference?


In the photography world, the terms “poses” and “images” are often used interchangeably, but they’re not the same. A pose refers to a distinct arrangement of the subject—think of it as the unique composition, angle, or expression that tells a different story. An image, on the other hand, is simply a single photograph, which might just be a variation of the same pose with a tweaked background or lighting.

Many photographers in Central Arkansas advertise sessions with “50 images” or more, but how many of those images are truly unique? Are you getting 50 distinct portraits, or are you receiving multiple shots of the same pose with a different backdrop? At Knapping Dragon Photography, we believe in transparency and value. For example, in a recent session, we captured 5 unique poses that were crafted into 18 stunning images. Each pose was carefully designed to showcase different facets of the subject’s personality, with variations in lighting, angles, and settings to create a diverse gallery of professional photography.


A Closer Look at Our Recent Session: Transforming Poses into Unique Images


To illustrate the Knapping Dragon Photography difference, let’s dive into our recent session where we created 18 images from 5 distinct poses.


For Pose 1, I positioned this couple so that their bodies faced each other, with their heads slightly tilted towards one another. The background was a natural setting, and I applied the Bokeh effect to blur the background while keeping both subjects in focus. Observe how the other images use the exact same pose, but with different backgrounds, transforming one pose into three distinct images.

For Pose 2, I positioned the female model with her back to the male model's chest and had him rest his hand on her shoulder. As you'll notice, I used the identical pose but swapped out the backgrounds, creating two additional images with the same pose.

In Pose 3, I positioned the models on a bench facing the camera, utilizing the park's natural surroundings to create a bokeh effect in the original image. I then replicated the same pose against a pastel background.

In Pose 4, I once again utilized the female model in a single pose within the park's natural setting. I then applied two different backgrounds to give the same pose a distinct atmosphere.

By alternating the backgrounds, it's true we gave each photo a different feel or vibe however at the end of the day, it is still the same exact pose, which does not offer much variety when you are only counting images versus poses.


Why Poses Matter More Than Just Images


When you book a session with Knapping Dragon Photography, you’re guaranteed a set number of unique poses tailored to your vision. This means you’re not just getting a high quantity of images but a collection of distinct, creative shots that stand out. Our award-winning photography approach ensures that each pose is thoughtfully planned to highlight your individuality, whether it’s a family portrait, senior session, or engagement shoot.


Our competitors might promise a large number of images, but without a focus on unique poses, you could end up with repetitive shots that lack variety.

We prioritize creative photography that delivers a rich, varied gallery you’ll cherish for years.
