Photos for training fursuit model - Suggested poses

This is a follow-up to a previous post about adding a new fursuit to the recognition model.

This is a list of suggested poses for photographing a fursuit for the recognition model. There's no secret sauce here; often candid shots from a convention are sufficient if you have enough of them. If you have a photographer though, here's a list of suggestions:

-Head-only, front view
-Full-body, front view
-Head-only, side view
-Full-body, side view
-Head-only, other side view
-Full-body, other side view
-2 Full-body, active poses (suggestions to pick from: tilt your head, hold your hand(s) near your head, crouch, curl up, sit, show your paws, lay down, on one foot, curve whole body)

Do each of these with:
-A light-coloured background (doesn't have to be a professional backdrop, A light-coloured wall will do)
-A dark-coloured background (A dark-coloured wall will do)
-A natural background (greenery and sky)
-Busy background (unrelated things, like people)
-Patterned background (ie. interior or exterior of buildings)

That should bring you to 40 (8*5), which is enough to start a new entry.
