Book Reviews of Posing Techniques for Photographing Model Portfolios

Book Review: Full of practical tips and pearls
Summary: 4 Stars

Pros: Well written easy to read and follow. I learned a great deal regarding posing and composition, what makes a pose good vs not so good (which may differ depending on the photo shoot target customer / audience).

Excellent content on posing hands, head, shoulders and legs.

Good intro on how to pursue putting together a decent portfolio for both the model and the photographer.

Cons: Some of the photos were quite dated, struck me as being one or two decades old.

All in all, I am very happy with this book. Highly recommended reading for the aspiring portrait and event photographer.

Summary of Posing Techniques for Photographing Model Portfolios

With detailed discussions and eye-catching, dynamic images, this guidebook shows professional photographers how to masterfully create beautiful images of a model to achieve any creative objective. Instructions illustrate basic poses as well as a host of subtle variations to provide photographers with an endless array of looks for editorial fashion shots, athletics, glamour or nude photography, and shots designed to show curves, reveal personality, or showcase the hands, hair, or legs. This comprehensive resource also provides expert advice on conducting a successful session, how to work with the model, how to work with a support staff of image stylists, and tips for designing a high-quality portfolio. Additional lessons provide a start-to-finish analysis of four different shooting sessions, each with a different model and a different objective.
