For photos, you have to overexagerrate your pose. It should be a little uncomfortable - if you don't feel like you are overarching with your upper back, overpointing your toes, and over-sucking in your gut, your posture will read sloppy in the photos.

Also, push your hips back behind your ribcage - this also elongates the torso and makes the hips appear smaller. It also gives a nice line to the muscles of the torso.

If you are posing with your back to the camera, ARCH IT - this is not the time for a neutral pelvis - this is the time to work it. Stick out your rear, and if you're facing away from the camera, look up!
