Combining two disciplines—posing and wedding portraiture—this professional resource helps photographers create flattering poses to build the best possible portraits and highest possible sales. Photographers are taught how to position the head, shoulders, torso, arms, hands, legs, and feet to correct figure flaws, make a client feel relaxed, and evoke a dynamic image that tells a story or defines a relationship.

    • posing techniques, Norman Phillips
I like this book alot. I keep going back to it. It's about posing your subjects and not about using the camera to take the pictures or shooting in exotic locations. It gives lots of good series of examples with young people. That's where the money is at in Weddings. Lots of hands,feet, body, and head posing examples. It's good to see both examples and instructive explanations. Also has side by side examples of two subjects right/wrong. Also sitting, standing, groups, brides. I'd say it's a "technical" book that I appreciate. Too many Wedding books are just a lot of wedding photos without much "how to" and are useless. This one really helps! I made my assistant read it! 122 pages of good solid info if you take the time to study and assimilate it into your ingrained routine. It's as good as Jeff Smith's "Posing for Portrait Photography" book and that's a great book. ... show more

    • Best one I have read
My model (daughter) and I use this book as our posing bible. It has improved the appearance of our photos one hundred percent. By reading the book, we now have the ability to spot "bad" poses and to work out better ones. I never realized there was so much to hand, feet and head position that went into making THE photo you are looking for. If you only purchase one book to help you grow as a portrait photographer, this is the one. Don't expect pretty people in pretty poses, this is a how to book that builds from one pose to next. ... show more

    • Mike
Decent book, but may be a little too simplistic for the advanced photographer. I found some good ideas, but was looking for a little more direction on difficult people to pose, etc.

    • Very Disorganized!
Sample pictures do not have a clear description of which poses are good or bad. You have to read text which is usually in different pages to determine the expalantion of the poses. Writer is not clear in his explanations and is hard to follow. I will not buy any other books by this author.

    • Good science
This is a great first book for posing. The best part about this is it doesn't hand you set poses, but tells you why some poses don't work and why others do. Knowing what to avoid and what lines look good helps you in creating limitless shots in the future.

    • Excellent learning tool
An excellent choice for those looking to improve their posing skills. The guidelines for doing so are well explained and easy to understand. Norman Phillips is thorough in covering a variety of posing situations which include specific body parts, groups, and wedding portraiture to name a few. Differences incurred between posing men and women are also featured. Many diagrams and illustrations along with good supporting information make this book an excellent learning tool. ... show more

This book was just what I was looking for! All of the tips and hints throughout the book have made me a more conscious photographer. The art in the book shows what you should and shoud not do while posing clients. It's an advantage to see the good and the bad right next to each other to advance personal critques. ... show more
