I bought Posing Techniques for Digital Portraits to use as a studio reference because it has easy to find sections and samples of “good” and “bad” angles. This book isn’t meant to be an in-depth review of posing, but a quick and easy to understand guide.
Useful features include sections on the various “problem” body parts, quick overviews of posing styles (traditional, casual, glamourous), and corrective posing for weight and glasses.
If you are looking for an in-depth discussion of studio posing this book is not it — but if you want a book for quickly referencing how to pose arms, legs, or the body, this book will be a good reference and starting point for posing your subjects.
this book is a younger, “outdoors” version of Don Blair’s “Body Parts” — and it focuses more on location posing.
