The Portrait Photographer's Guide to Posing

by Bill Hurter

Providing a concise look at the foundations of posing, this guide illustrates the ways in which key posing strategies flatter the lines of the body, creating definition, dynamic lines, and a camera-friendly posture. Photographers learn how to analyze the facial features of their subjects to ensure the most flattering positioning, how to finesse fingers for delicate or strong hand positions, and how to adapt a pose for a man, woman, or child. Strategies for artfully posing couples, large groups, under- and overweight clients, the elderly, and everyone in between are detailed. With techniques and images from nearly 50 of the industry's most notable artists, this valuable sourcebook offers something for every film and digital photographer.

[Ricardo Rodríguez]

Buenas fotos, comienza muy bien, termina sumamente redundante.

No me voy a cansar en hacer una reseña.

[Eric Mesa]

Can't think of a better book than this one if you're a photographer who's struggling with posing your subjects.
