Guide to Posing the Female Model

[jab2]

Has anyone used this book and find it usefull? http://photographytips.com/page.cfm/5858

After some other threads on the forums i'm looking into compiling a book like this. It will be for a fraction of the price of this book. It won't be on just the female form but poses in general. Would anyone else be interested?

[jab2]

Sure. I saw the price, thats why I ask cause it must be bloody good at $64.

That price is madness... there are plenty of sites on the net with this info available for free, just look for it. Besides, just look at any site with modelling or portraits, and generate something of your own...

I'd be interested in that, can only help. Heaven knows I need all the help I can get.

Yeah I'd be interested - currently showing prospective models / clients example photographs - but they get hung up on the lighting and the clothing and the body type and the 'but I'm not blonde' and and and....

Hey Johann - thanks for the link...quite interesting!
But, MY OATH, the man is / was rigid...if I turned out portraits like his I'd hang up my camera... :c)

Not his fault, just the way styles have changed...seems to me right now (and I'm sure I read it somewhere) that the most highly regarded portraits are those which don't look posed...
@Uhberman: Maybe time to update the above in a modern style, and create an e-Book from it?

Grant, couldn't agree more. What I do always say to the people is that they must feel comfortable, then they will look comfortable. This goes a long way.

I also agree. I found a recent link with lots of poses, very up to date. Includes both female and male, and couples. If you are interested, I can mail to you - 3.5Mb PDF file.

Hi Guys

I have mailed to those who requested. File is actually a little larger - hope it gets to you.

Cheers

[wirld]

Got it, thanks Johan!
I think it will be very useful - especially with newer models - the ones you really need to direct...

[Wolfaardt]

Any other way of getting that pdf? 3meg is the max that I can get via email.

Please also send me a copy to derek.s@vgnet.net. Thanks Johan.

Hi Guys

It appears there is quite a demand for this, so here is a link:

Unfortunately I can not leave it here forever. Maybe Hedrus can advise if it is possible to place this somewhere with the OPD site.

I will leave it at abogve link until around end of July.

[Wolfaardt]

I got it from the URL you gave - thank you. It looks very good, will 'test' it as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks I also got it.
