This guide was created to bring inspiration to this visual vocabulary. There is a short description for each pose so that you can connect the word to the image more intuitively.

Whether you’re generating images or just exploring, Feel free to use this as a reference to spark ideas and add variety to your creations!

crouching

Down low with the body close to the ground, knees bent, usually heels up—like you’re ready to spring or sneak.

squatting

Knees bent deep, heels on the ground, body centered ~ classic squat position, grounded and balanced.

low_squat

An even deeper squat, often with the hips almost touching the ground ~ legs open or closed depending on the mood.

legs_apart

Standing or sitting with a visible gap between the legs—confident, grounded, open stance.

wide_stance

Feet planted far apart ~ strong, powerful, like taking up space on purpose.

knees_up

One or both knees pulled upward ~ can be seated or lying down, adds energy and focus to the legs.

one_knee_up

One knee is raised, often while sitting or leaning—adds dynamic lines and a casual tension.

one_knee_on_the_ground

One leg down, one up ~ like a proposal pose or a lunge, adds asymmetry and balance.

leaning_forward

Upper body tilts toward the camera or viewer ~ can feel inviting, intense, or intimate.

hand_on_knee

A hand resting on one or both knees ~ adds a touch of purpose or stability to the pose.

hand_between_legs

The hand is placed casually or suggestively between the thighs ~ can be flirty, chill, or powerful depending on context.

side_profile_squat

Squatting but viewed from the side ~ shows off curves, posture, and shape.

wall_squat

Back against the wall, knees bent in a squat ~ controlled, strong, and visually sharp.

sitting_on_heels

Sitting with butt next to the heels ~ neat, centered, and soft in posture.

provocative_pose

A bold, attention ~ body language turned all the way up.

suggestive_pose

Hints without showing ~ body placement and angles do the talking.

spreading_legs

Legs moved apart in a deliberate way ~ open, bold, and full of energy.

legs_up

Legs are lifted ~ whether vertical, playful, or dramatic, it directs all eyes.

arched_back

Spine curves inward, chest forward, hips back ~ adds drama, shape, and sensuality.

looking_back_seductively

The classic over-the-shoulder glance ~ flirty, mysterious, with just enough tease.

resting_on_one_knee

More relaxed than a full kneel ~ balanced and easy, like a soft break in motion.

bent_over

Torso leans forward, hips back ~ can be playful, strong, or risqué depending on angle.

all_fours

Hands and knees on the ground ~ animalistic, grounded, and very body-focused.

lying, (on_stomach)

Body stretched out on the belly ~ soft lines, relaxed, or subtly inviting.

lying_on_side

Side-lying, one leg maybe bent ~ great for curve emphasis or a dreamy feel.

thigh_gap

When the thighs don’t touch ~ often highlighted when standing or posing with feet apart.

legs_together

Legs placed closely ~ neat, elegant, or reserved, depending on the vibe.

hips_thrust_forward

The hips tilt or twist toward the front ~ showing off the curve, like a POW moment.

Posing isn’t just about shapes ~ it’s about expression, movement, and the story we tell through the body. With a shared language, even a simple shift in the hips or tilt of the head becomes a creative choice.

So next time u’re stuck or curious, flip through this guide, pick a tag, and try a new angle ~ literally. U might be surprised what a fresh pose can do.

I hope u had a lot of fun reading and of course even more trying it out.
