What are the main poses for a model portfolio?

IMO there are no "main poses". I focus on how can I photograph the model in order to get different looks in order to show the range the model can do, also focus on their best attributes and make them stand out. The poses also vary on what crop you're doing is it a portrait, mid body or full body shot.

I would think as a photographer you shouldn't have to worry about the poses. The model is the one who poses.

You still need to know the moves, and where to put the model
