Don't be afraid to take the lead and at the same time, don't be afraid to let your female model partner switch things up and take the lead from you. When you're in charge, make sure you are in the forefront of the picture with your female model partner a little behind you. This illustrates the perfect balance of the male models taking charge with the female models following behind, but not in a way that she is beneath the male model.

The key for male models posing with female models is to know how to switch up the mood and attitude. Be sure you can easily make the transition from manly man, to romantic sweetheart.
