In the world of selfies and snaps, posing uniquely on special events seems to be a challenge. A boatman, whose boat was on rent for the clicks, was seen teaching the couple some iconic couple photo poses. He guided them with some romantic poses and dance moves to make them feel special.

The video shows the boatman dressed in his usual attire as he stands next to the well-dressed couple onboard, who learn some steps and poses from him to ace the look. Following his guidance, they recreate the poses. The boatman is seen enthusiastically teaching them one pose after another. “After seeing so many pre wedding shoots, the boatman has become the director,” read the post on X.

After being posted on the social media site on May 30, the video has already gathered more than 195,000 views there. X users were impressed by the boatman and his direction skills.
