I'd say the best way to make a posed photograph look natural is to make it natural if that makes sense. If we are talking portraits then I would say get in a set and then just talk and be silly with the person you are photographing and photograph them as you go. Of course this is ok if you are working with a digital camera because you can see what you are taking, I would say if you are using film then just make sure that you don't take too many different shots and be more aware of the photos you are taking. Your subject is always going to be slightly aware that there is a camera taking photos of them but if you can take away slightly from the "stand there, smile/laugh/look sad!" side of things then you will certainly get a more natural looking photo. I've kinda answered this here (http://community.livejournal.com/hh_clubs/1148632.html?thread=34417368#t34417368) too if you want to take a look at that answer also? :)
