Stop practicing your poses in the mirror and start learning from the best. While making faces for the camera may seem like rocket science to some, it’s a little known secret that all models just use subtle variations on the same set of poses, no matter what shoot they’re working on. And so, we’ve collected the eight most popular and model-approved poses in the gallery below — master these and you’ll be ready for your close-up.

1.So You Wanna Be A Model?

Just memorize these poses and you'll be well on your way...

2.The 'Meet My Lady Bits'

Models really like to sit on chairs with their legs open. Subtlety is out.

3.The 'Oh! I didn't see you there!'

Models always have somewhere to go -- so don't expect them to stop for a picture.

4.The 'Tyra Banks'

Tyra Banks isn't the only one who likes to put her hands on her hips and lean forward, but since we can't think about this pose without smiling-with-our-eyes, we have to name it after her.

5.The 'Hip Hop'

What makes a model happier than putting her hands on her hips? JUMPING!

6.The 'Got Advil?'

Models always have headaches. Pain is beauty...?

7.The 'Sun Seeker'

Models really, really like the sun -- especially when wearing thousands of dollars worth of clothes and accessories.

8.The 'What? This Old Thing?'

Models love playing with their clothes (and who can blame them?). Some even eat them -- yummy.

9.And finally, the ever useful 'Pretty Never Dies'

Models really like to play dead, so you can often find them sprawled across a carpet or floating in a pool. How fun!
