How to pose/direct a model for a noir-style portrait shoot?

Don’t think of getting a natural look. Go for a posed look that works. Along with the pose, consider shooting at off and extreme angles. Tell your subjects to look guilty or sinister, with an air of subtle sexuality or brooding. Looks downward often work. Tell them to think of intensity. Words you might consider in terms of pose and expression are stylish, cynical, and hardboiled. Think sneering, not smiling. Even if you don’t have them smoking a cigarette, tell them to think like they are.
