4.0 out of 5 stars Photographing beautiful people, August 2, 2009
By P. Young (Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Master Posing Guide for Wedding Photographers (Paperback)
This is a very good book and well worth owning. However, I did at times struggle to see the so called stylish design qualities the writer found in a few of the photographs. Don't get me wrong, there are many great photos in this book and the information about what to consider when posing is helpful. This is one of the better books I have read but most of the images make it look like it was for photographing girls that look like catwalk models and guys that just popped in for a wedding after finishing their underwear modeling assignment. The writer does point out how to photograph people with features that need correcting but where are the before and after photos? I need examples.

Do the top photographers only photograph beautiful people? I'd like to see some photos of average people who are different sizes taken by these photographers. I want to look at a photo and say 'Wow that photographer captured the beauty of an average person' and then look below the photo and see a footnote that tells me how he did it. I may be wrong here; maybe the ones in the book were all pretty average and the photographers created a photographic miracle but I doubt it.

For me personally, some day, I would just like to pick up a photographic book and see some photographs of beautiful average people in creative poses. Then read and learn a few tips I can then use to better capture the beautiful memories of the average person. Maybe what is needed is to get average looking models and show before and after photos of how they look better when using angles and good lighting.

I do recommend this book. I am still looking for a photographic book with really good before and after photos.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some great examples, January 27, 2010
By Jason M. Eiting (Milwaukee, WI Usa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Master Posing Guide for Wedding Photographers (Paperback)
Overall I thought this book was fairly descent. The book doesn't go really deep into how to get the people into positions for posing. But it does give a fairly good amount of photos and examples of how those images were created. It also gives some information on what to do with those "problematic clients" such as ones with glasses, overweight, balding, etc. I wish it had more information on posing normal everyday people to make them look like they came out of a magazine. Overall it is a good book I would recommend for the images and ideas that were given truly amazing stuff. But if your looking for more in depth information it may not be the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The key to great wedding day pictures, April 11, 2009
This review is from: Master Posing Guide for Wedding Photographers (Paperback)
If there is a way to efficiently capture stunning images of everything wedding day has to offer, it is examined in this book. Everything from planning, analyzing subjects, equipment and the posing process is covered. All the elements that make wedding day pictures their best is here. This is an easy book to benefit from and should be part of any wedding photographer's library.
