What Can You Interpret About a Person's
Body Language From a Photograph?
|
Example 1 - Barack Obama.
Barak Obama certainly is known for his striking IMAGE.
Notice the intensity on his face. The cheek bones. The strength of his jaw. The back of a soldier.
This is a POWERFUL IMAGE that can win an election IF it is backed up with a message of VISION and not policies. We'll revisit Obama throughout the year and see if the image holds.

Example 2 - John McCain.
McCain's face shows intelligence and compassion. He is the precise OPPOSITE of Obama.
Wide open eyes give the feel of open-ness. Obama? No. He is a leader with vision. He has his OWN plan.
McCain appears to want to know what the person he's talking to thinks. If McCain talks about VISION he would be crushed because that is NOT his image.
His image exuded compassion, intelligence, open minded. Does America want an open minded President...or a visionary, perhaps unlike any we've seen?

Example 3 - Body Language of Nicky Hilton with ex-boyfriend Brian Connolly.
Question: "Kevin, will these two last?" Answer...observe...
Notice Nicky's body language. The knee elevated against her boyfriend's right leg. Her left leg supporting her entire body. The expressionless smile as she poses for the other photographer.
One clue I always look for is, "Where is the cell phone." Pocket or hand. Answer: Hand. No, this will not last.

Example 4 - Tom Arnold and Shelby Roos.
Tom, one of my favorite funny guys is holding his girlfriend so tightly, she is like the caged bird that must fly away.
Notice you can see the white in Tom's fingers. Check out the facial color. Observe the closeness of his head to Shelby in contrast to where it would be if he were standing straight.
This is a classic photo sequence of "boy ecstatic to be with this girl." Unfortunately I had to report the relationship would not last.

Example 5 - Bruce Springsteen and Patti Scialfa
Bruce Springsteen and Patti are like yin and yang. Almost all photo's of these two together reveals a mirror image of each other and this is no exception.
Even when they are turning their legs/feet are the same! Then notice how similar their hands are positioned and of course his and hers sun glasses.
There's more in the program about these guys and this sequence of photos; but when two people mirror each other this perfectly, they are likely to stay together.

Example 6 - Pamela Anderson and Richard Branson.
Branson, like Tom Arnold above, holds tight. Notice his right hand and the strength with which he holds Anderson. Then notice that his face, like Tom Arnold above, has that same coloration to it. The grin indicates a very happy, "Hey guys, check it out, it's Pam."
And Pam rarely shows ownership of a man. Here she has her arm up and around Sir Richard's neck and holds him too.
One clue you will always look for when reading body language is where the eyes are looking. Here, two different places. When people are "together" they typically are posed and focused on the same thing.
