Note S&K updated 27/6/24
One of the problems (AC2) when you're shooting in the studio is communicating (AC5) your idea with your model, how you want them to pose, what sort of vibe you're looking to create. If you compile a look book (AC3) which is a professional strategy (AC4) and allow the model to see what your ideas are this massively helps in photoshoots. It not only reminds you what your plans are and what your pose ideas are, but enables the model to understand more clearly.
If you're own self-directed project is fashion or portrait based, this work is probably best seen as part of your plans in your main design sheet. Other than that this is basic knowledge and should appear in your S&K design sheet under the professional practice heading.
The best way to do this is to create a couple of pages with a series of your favourite or standard poses that you use as a starting point. All you need to do is go onto a website like the ASOS fashion site and copy a whole series of poses and compile them as below...

Each time you shoot simply print it off and use when you shoot. *Top tip photograph it in the studio on the floor or with your model looking at it as one of your wide shots - of your set up to show that you actually use it.
