Jumping pose reference
Real photos of people jumping and leaping, caught in mid-air.
Jumps last a fraction of a second, so they are almost impossible to draw from life. These photos freeze the take-off, the top of the jump and the tucked and stretched shapes in between.
Angle Ref has 146 photos like these, all openly licensed and credited.

Jumping poses from the front
The body faces the camera, chest and hips turned square to the picture.
Jumping poses in three-quarter view
The body is turned about 45 degrees, so one side of the torso shows and the far shoulder and hip tuck behind.
Jumping poses from behind
The body faces away from the camera: the shoulder blades, spine and the back of the legs.
