posed
Sat for photographer
Posed is the past tense of pose, which means to position oneself or something else for effect—typically for a photograph, portrait, or artistic representation: She posed for the camera.
Posed also describes questions or problems that have been put forward: The detective posed several questions to the suspect.
Something posed can seem artificial or affected rather than natural: The whole scene felt posed.
