I would like to know if "do" can be used when referring to a pose.

"Can you do a good pose for us?"

I've already seen sentences such as
"To hold a pose"
"To assume a pose"
"To adpot a pose"
"To strike a pose"
"To pose"

Yes, that would be a bit colloquial and informal.

I've already seen [STRIKE]sentences[/STRIKE] phrases such as the following:

"To hold a pose"
"To assume a pose"
"To [STRIKE]adpot[/STRIKE] adopt a pose"
"To strike a pose"
"To pose"

I'm not keen on it. To be honest, I don't even like "a good pose". What does that mean? If a photographer said that to a model, they would have no idea what the photographer wanted.

Strike a funny pose, please!
Ballet pose. Now.
Hold that pose. It's great!
Can you pose for me?
