When posing individuals for ACT we turn them to the photographers left slightly or more straight on. In some cases, like baseball, a player who is left handed and posing with their bat turned to the right.  Crop looser then you need - at least 3/4 length and make sure there is plenty of space above their heads.  Encourage them to use a prop if possible, this makes the photographs look more "in motion" and fun. If a pose looks awkward after you take the photograph, change the pose! When photographing Seniors they may choose to do a pose for their order and another pose for a Senior banner.  If you take two images make sure to let the senior pick which they want for their banner.
