Not Too Sweet! 5 Tips for Capturing Adult-Cute Sitting Shots*

I Want to Take Sitting Shots, but...!

One of the solo shots that I want to capture while wearing a wedding dress or a colored dress is the sitting shot.

The sitting shot, which conveys a different charm of the dress compared to standing poses, is definitely a must-have picture.

However, most of the sitting shots seen on Instagram give a lovely impression.

There might be adult brides who think, “I want to try it, but is it too sweet for me…?”

What Are the Tips for Taking a Sophisticated Sitting Shot?

But don’t worry!

By mastering a few tips, you can capture a sophisticated and calm impression in your sitting shots♡

In this article, I will introduce five tips for taking adult sitting shots aimed at brides who want to avoid looking too lovely♩

Not Too Cute! Tips for Taking Sophisticated Sitting Shots ① Shoot from Behind

While the standard sitting shot is typically taken from the front or directly above...

Shooting from the back style like this creates a calm atmosphere♡

The train of the wedding dress or the long veil looks beautiful, giving a romantic feel.

The back sitting shot is rare because there’s usually no opportunity to capture it during the ceremony or reception♡

When taking a back shot while sitting, instead of facing directly backwards, it’s important to twist the upper body slightly to show a side profile.

This naturally twists the waist, making it look very beautiful♡

Be mindful not to slouch or have your shoulders rounded.

Here is a sitting shot using a sofa. While facing forward gives a cute vibe, the back view gives a slightly different impression.

You can really feel the fluffy volume of the skirt♡

Not Too Cute! Tips for Taking Sophisticated Sitting Shots ② Shoot from the Side

Next is a sitting shot taken from the side while seated on a sofa.

This side angle composition is rare, making it a memorable shot.

It features a natural tone as it captures you in a casual manner rather than trying too hard.

Sitting on a sofa brings the back of the skirt into the forefront, creating a more impressive volume♡

You can take a sitting shot that looks like you are surrounded by your skirt.

Not Too Cute! Tips for Taking Sophisticated Sitting Shots ③ Look Away

Directly looking at the camera in a sitting shot can often end up appearing overly cute.

If you want to create a sophisticated atmosphere, I recommend deliberately looking away.

By gazing at the hem of your skirt and softly smiling, you can appear like an elegant bride♡

A pose like holding the veil in a crumpled way can also be lovely♡

Touching your earrings or gazing at your bouquet can help create a pose using props effectively.

Not Too Cute! Tips for Taking Sophisticated Sitting Shots ④ Off-Shot Style

If you want to take a more relaxed and natural sitting shot, asking for an off-shot style can also be a great idea.

Capture a casual moment, like chatting with your partner in the bridal room.

You can fold your arms or lean your upper body slightly forward, maintaining a relaxed posture.

However, make sure your skirt is nicely spread out to look beautiful♡

Not Too Cute! Tips for Taking Sophisticated Sitting Shots ⑤ Chic Editing

The final tip is to tell your photographer in advance, "I like a sophisticated atmosphere," and have them retouch the images in a chic manner.

By toning down the colors and enhancing the shadows, a somewhat ennui air will be created in your sitting shot, giving it an overseas feel♡

Pose as if you're a bride from abroad♩
