Direct & Pose: Anchor Workflow (Live Webinar). Simple anchors, micro-moves, and camera-ready cues to get natural, editorial portraits—without stiff poses.
Laretta Houston is a Los Angeles–based fashion and commercial photographer, director, and educator with over 20 years of experience behind the camera. A Canon Explorer of Light and Lexar Elite Photographer, she’s worked with Sports Illustrated, MAC Cosmetics, Karen Millen, ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, and leading beauty/fashion brands. Laretta is known for translating pro-level posing and directing into clear, repeatable cues that make real clients look editorial. She teaches systems—anchors, hand & gaze cues, and 8-click flows—you can use immediately on set.

What others say about my posing.
“I’m not a trained model and usually freeze in front of the camera. Laretta’s anchors, plus her hand cues, made it easy for me to pose. In 10 minutes, I felt seen, confident, and coached the whole time.”
“Laretta directs with clarity and warmth. She was very patient with me. After teaching me the 8-click flow, she was able to capture more variations from me. My agent loved the selects, and I booked two campaigns from this shoot.”
