Never be stuck feeling awkward again! The SHAPES method™ is a technique you will NEVER FORGET!
What is the SHAPES method?
The SHAPES method was created in 2022. it is a technique that teaches you how to model by giving names to each of the poses (shapes) and guiding you how to flow seamlessly between the moves.
It is the first method that actually takes the guesswork out of modeling by teaching the technicalities of posing.
Modeling is not as easy as it looks, and it can take years to learn to flow and get poses down when you don’t have an actual technique. With the SHAPES method we take all the guesswork out of modeling and teach you how to hold your body with eloquence, make artful shapes with your body and move through various poses
Now you can learn how to pose like a model in JUST 7 DAYS!
MEET THE FOUNDER
Hi! I’m Hannah! The founder of Pretty Instinct, Rebel Goddesses and the SHAPES method™. I spent 13+ years in the industry as a model working all over the world with top agencies (MP MEGA models, Elite models, Models Int.) and top brands (L’oreal, Skechers, Nikon, In Style Magazine, Sports Illustrated) I then transitioned behind the lease as a professional fashion photographer and producer of photoshoots for 5+ years. I founded Pretty Instinct model and creative agency in 2016. It's safe to say that I have experienced the art of modeling from ALL aspects!
I remember dreaming of becoming a model when I was a teenager, and I also remember feeling completely lost about how to go about it. The first thing that comes with modeling is being able to create killer pics right?!
I was always thinking…how will I know what poses to do on the spot when I am at a shoot? How do I not embarrass myself?!
I would scramble to look up various poses online before every shoot and tried to copy what other models were doing but the poses I would learn either ended up looking awkward or I wasn’t able to think of them on the spot. As a result,
I was SO nervous going to every photoshoot!
After years of trial and error and MANY failed photoshoots I eventually learned, but it took me MANY YEARS to start to flow comfortably through my poses. I wondered why there wasn't an easier way.
Fast forward, I started pole dancing about 2 years ago and I noticed that in pole dance each of the moves (shapes) had names so that it was easy for the instructor to teach us and also for us to remember the moves. I then realized that the same method could be used for modeling. In fact I wondered why nobody had ever taught me any method or any of the poses in detail! It would have saved me so much time and stress.
That’s why I created the SHAPES method™!
I took what I learned in pole dance and applied it to modeling and the SHAPES method was born. The SHAPES method gives a name to each of the shapes and teaches you how to transition and flow between each one. So that you will never be stuck on a photoshoot again! You will always know what to do with your hands and your legs. When you learn these foundational shapes then modeling becomes FUN and you can finally relax and have fun playing with the SHAPES that your body can make. I believe that modeling is an ART form. And the female body is ART in itself.
My mission is to help females feel confident and powerful both in front of the camera and in life!
ME - BEFORE AND AFTER!
BEFORE I knew how to pose! 😳
I would choose one awkward pose and try to repeat it in various shoots no matter what the style! I was always so nervous and felt stressed on shoots. They turned out looking hella awkward, kind of hilarious looking back! It looks like I needed to pee 😅
AFTER I learned how to POSE! 😎
When I learned how to pose my confidence grew astronomically! I learned how to work my angles to create killer photo's and I knew what to do for each style. I was booking jobs all over the world, shooting with amazing photographers and creating ART!

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING!
Sarah Gibson
The SHAPES course came at the perfect time for me! I am an agency model still in development and this week I’ve had 3 shoots in a row, and I’ve felt much so more comfortable in front of the camera because I always had the foundational poses to come back to.
It was super helpful to learn a choreographed technique that allows me to remember posing on set rather than trying to memorize a bunch of random poses!
Michelle McGuire
I wish every agency had this class to help their beginner models! I love the different photo examples, explanations, and practicing the different poses in a row! It'll be great movement when at a shoot. Everyone says modeling comes down to practice, but this is truly a science! Hannah really thought of everything we'd need. The examples being downloadable was a huge help, I'll definitely be going back and practicing them all the time! Super affordable for how much I feel this elevated my modeling. Can't wait to try it all out in shoots!
Marissa Gephart
I LOVED the SHAPES method course!! I have been modeling on and off for years and Hannah has created an easy to learn language to the basics of model posing. It has helped me fill in the gaps of my learning and I know I will go into my next shoots so much more confident, poised, and relaxed! Genius!! Thank you Hannah! I can’t believe how good your course is and can’t wait to see the next ones you create!!!
Kristina Hilton-Emmons
I just finished the course today and decided to rewatch some! Honestly I've learned so much and am really looking forward to my next casting call! I feel so much more confident and put together. This was like a missing link for me and will help tremendously for bridging the gap between fit modeling and print modeling. I'm a fan and I will be signing up for whatever else Hannah puts out there!
Anabelle Lawton
I immediately knew The SHAPES method would help me rock my next photoshoot! Hannah is a pro, and learning from her experience makes me so excited to continue on my own modeling journey. The "names" for the poses make it all really easy to remember. Since I am short and on the curvy side, the S-shape leg pose stuck out to me and I will be using that all the time!The courses are short but full of great tips. I'm so thankful that this resource exists!
Christin Noel
I really enjoyed the shapes course! I watched the course over two days because I was traveling the first week but I do think it would be better to do it broken out by days as it is laid out, as then the information is in smaller bits and more likely to be retained. I loved the examples and easy visuals. The formula is easy to follow and totally makes sense. I also love the helpful tips to remember certain poses like the complaining poses. Overall great and so easy to follow! I have so much more respect for models and the awareness they have to have in front of the camera!
