This is the famous posing guide that is carried in 1,000's of camera bags all over the World. The Pink Pocket Poser became a classic when the original version was released in 1987. It has now been revised and updated to this new style to become one of the most useful tools that you can have if you work with glamour models. It is packed full of the rules of glamour posing and contains everything you need to know about posing your models. The little cartoon drawings make the book so easy to follow that even the most complicated poses are simple for you and your model to understand. Pages of practical hints, tips, rules and ideas. Numerous useful tips to help with your own work. Posing for men's magazines. A selection of 'Page 3' poses for you to copy. Over 150 ready-to-use poses and ideas. 'I loaned my first Pink Poser to a friend. I never saw it again. The second one was stolen by a model. My third is now attached to my camera bag with a piece of string.' John S Bowden (USA).

More About the Author

Having been a professional glamour photographer for over 30 years it seems hard to remember doing anything else. During that time I have photographed thousands of beautiful models and had images published in hundreds of magazines all over the world. Lad's mags, the tabloid press, books, calendars, album covers and the best of men's titles including Playboy and Penthouse.

I have done shoots in large drive-in studios and small "at home" affairs, plus worked on sun-drenched beaches and stunning English country mansions.

What I try to do is write the kind of books that were not available when I was starting out. Back then I needed to actually see where the lights were, how to work with the models and how the whole session came together. This is what I now try to pass on in my books and videos. The aim is to give photographers a way of seeing the real thing as it actually happened.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great little book, February 18, 2008

This review is from: The Pink Pocket Poser: The Glamour Photographers Posing Guide (Paperback)
Nigel has a wonderfully entertaining way of describing the principles of glamour photography. I think it is a little overpriced but I would buy it again at the same price. He covers ideas about cropping, dances, proper dressing, men's mag poses, hand position, movement, newspaper posing, props, seaside posing, tight clothing lens choice, the "s" bend, using a subjects good points, lip positioning, wet poses and more. A very informative little guide that is a joy to read.

This review is from: The Pink Pocket Poser: The Glamour Photographers Posing Guide (Paperback)
Some folks complain about paying $20 for a book that's relatively small in physical size, but it's not the quantity of the info that you're paying for, it's the quality, and the value is there.

As a relatively experienced people photographer, one of the things I have really grown to understand is that the art of posing other people, learning to tell them how to move and how to hold their bodies, is a distinct art in and of itself. It's no less challenging than learning about the basics of photography and the physics of lighting.

This book's focus is on glamor photography mostly, so the emphasis is on women's bodies and how to pose and compose them for maximum appeal to the viewer and also the editor if they're going to be put into publication.

The writing style is simple, whimsical and straightforward. The images are entirely cartoonish, but this is strategically effective. It's easy to show the drawings to a model as an example of what you're after and have them understand, because they're not looking at a photo of some glamorous model and thinking to themselves, "Oh, I could never look like that!" The drawings are non-threatening, unintimidating to models and easy to understand.

I don't have much room to carry books around in my camera bag, but this is one that has found a place there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent & Funny Idea Starter, September 29, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Pink Pocket Poser: The Glamour Photographers Posing Guide (Paperback)
Even though this book is written by a Brit and displays the singular humor Brits are famous for, this is one of the best posing guides for glamour and boudoir photography that I have come across. Add to that the very amusing line drawings the author has done to illustrate the "rules" he lays down and you have a very fun way to have your imagination and creativity piqued.

I have even shown the book to a couple of models that I was shooting and we were having a hard time with posing ideas and the results were amazing! Their own creativity was jump-started and the poses began to flow.
