Book Reviews of The Portrait Photographer's Guide to Posing
Book Review: A great instructional book with stunning photographs
Summary: 5 Stars
Upon opening The Portrait Photographer's Guide to Posing I was presented with a stunning photo of an exuberant bride and I realized immediately that I could learn much from this book. I was not disappointed as I learned many subtleties about positioning the face, placing the hands and fingers and identifying flaws and working around them, etc.The book is illustrated with extraordinary photography from many masters of portrait photography. The work is so beautiful and the text so insightful that it pulled me along turning pages like it was a new Dean Koontz novel.
I didn't think that posing was a subject that warranted an entire book but I am proved wrong by the Guide to Posing and I look forward to applying what I learned in my work.
Book Review: Excellent-Text and different camera angle "ViewS"
Summary: 5 Stars
First,
I Purchased, read and dissatisfied and "mad" with the "Posing Head to Toe".
then
I loan "Portrait Photographer's Guide to Posing" from the library. Wow! Bill clearly show the basic of posing and how different professional photographers do that. I own and read at least 10 books on portrait photography in different industry, children, wedding, teen... to models. The posing principle, composition... in this book can be apply to all type of photography. However, I should say, only 10% can be apply for children photography.
I buy this book with no regret at all. (don't let any other negative comments about this book. If not satisfy sent me "$@#$#@%*" :-)
Book Review: Best Portrait Book Yet
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is probably the best portait book I have ever come across, and here's why:
1. The layout is great, lots of pictures which are very pertinant to the current subject being discussed.
2. Packed FULL of very useful technical tips for correcting common facial challenges.
3. Very straightforward, concise writing. The author gets right to the point without blabbering about how they did this or that, they just tell you how to do it and why.
4. Easy to read, easy to understand.
BUY THIS BOOK! It's worth every penny, and more!
Book Review: One of the Best Posing Books Available
Summary: 5 Stars
The author has written what I feel is one of the finest posing books that is available anywhere. There are numerous examples of traditional and non-traditional posing from some of the finest photographers on the planet. This book should easily inspire any photographer to try something new with their next client. I keep this book in my camera room for quick reference during my portrait sessions.Book Review: excellent book with usefull information and examples
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm a beginning/amateur photographer and knew close to nothing about photographing good portraits. After reading this book I'm much more confident and thanks to all the info and examples in the book I have a very good idea on how to make people stand/sit to be able to take a flattering photograph of them.
Really worth the money.
