A quick read for the photographer and model alike. The book hits all the points on preparing for a shoot from the Models perspective. As a photographer, I'm keeping a few on hand to give to newer models - as a way to help them get started. The book has groups and series of poses that the model can practice ahead of the shoot. (It always makes a shoot go smoother when a model can cycle through poses and you only have to help them make fine adjustments.) This book is a great reference for photographers, because you can visually breeze through similar poses to find one that fits what you are looking to capture. All in all, I'm glad someone finally came out with a book just like this! Kudos to the author!

A quick, but concise read on outlining the considerations and expectations for both the photographer and model! This guide essentially prepares the photographer and model for the actual shoot and will virtually eliminate "wasted time" determining the direction and focus of the shoot. In addition, the incredible number of captured poses will give the photographer a wealth of choices in preparation for the shoot. All-in-all, a great reference and a "must have" for photographers and models alike!

This saves me a lot of time having to explain poses for newer models. Plus, I saw some new poses that I will add to my repertoire. For the price, the print quality is less than spectacular, thus the minus one star. However, still a great buy and I highly recommend it.

Note: Designed primarily for models, it does not explain much about the theory or reasons behind the poses. For photographers looking for more information and basic posing principles, I highly recommend Nigel Holmes' The Pink Pocket Poser: The Glamour Photographers Posing Guide (WARNING! For some, the drawings and humor maybe explicit) and The Portrait Photographers Posing Guide: How to pose people for portraits.
