Book Reviews of Doug Box's Guide to Posing for Portrait Photographers

Book Review: What a great tool...
Summary: 5 Stars

There are only two words that can describe this book...MUST HAVE! I have been taking pictures as a serious hobby for two years and have just begun my journey into photographing people...well more than just snapshots. Anyone who has been in my position knows that shooting people is much more difficult than birds or flowers. Mr. Box's book is a great tool for a person to have. It addresses posing women, men, couples, teens, groups, brides, and more. On each page, Doug gives you an example photograph and then gives you another with slight differences that make a big difference. I have numerous books in my "photography library" and this is without a doubt the most user friendly of them all. I, as a 38 year old school teacher, use it constantly and my niece, a 17 year old high school student uses her copy as well...virtually on a daily basis for her school newspaper; now that's what I call versatile. It gives you great tips on lighting, lenses, clothing for models, and obviously...posing. I have read it so many times that I can almost close my eyes and see the words and pictures. I suggest that you give all of Doug's book a look and I have to say that having had the chance to talk to Doug personally, he is a great guy and so knowledgeable about his craft. To sum up...get this book!

THANKS DOUG!

Summary of Doug Box's Guide to Posing for Portrait Photographers

Often overshadowed by complicated lighting techniques or advanced postproduction tips, this resource seeks to remind the professional photographer of the fundamental importance of a subject's pose. Conveniently designed in two-page spreads?a striking portrait on one side, a comprehensive how-to of the strategies used on the other?this reference includes countless techniques for studio sessions as well as outdoor and location shoots, with individuals or groups, male or female clients, and in sitting, standing, or lying poses. With advice from a well-known and respected professional, it covers all the basics, showing how to emphasize a client's assets and downplay perceived flaws, how to create a cohesive, engaging group photo, how to use natural elements on location to enhance an image, and how to ensure that the result flatters the subject and adds the essential professional polish to an image.
