1,000 poses. Every subject. One book. Whether you’re the photographer trying to direct your subject or the model trying to figure out what to do with your hands, this is the visual reference you need on set. POSE! covers over 1,000 poses across every major portrait category. Each pose is shown as a main image with direction for both photographer and model, followed by three variations, so a single page gives you four shootable looks. Whatever your subject—women, men, couples, families, expecting mothers, or children—there’s a dedicated section for it, covering everything from beauty and fashion to boudoir, sports, and business. Every pose includes guidance on hand placement, leg and foot position, and head angle so you understand how to replicate and adapt each look, not just copying a picture. Three ways to use this book: • As a posing reference on set : flip to the category, find a starting point, and work through the variations • As a lookbook before a shoot : browse by subject to plan your session and build a shot list • As a teaching tool : show models exactly what you’re looking for, taking the guesswork out of direction This book is for you if: • You shoot portraits, fashion, boudoir, families, or maternity and want a comprehensive visual reference to draw from • You’re a model building your posing vocabulary across every style • You want maximum variety from every setup without running out of ideas mid-session With over 1,000 poses across every major subject and style, POSE! is the most comprehensive posing reference available for photographers and models. Pick it up before your next shoot and you'll wonder how you worked without it. Review: Exactly what I needed - I really like this book. Well written, well thought out, easy to use right out of the gate. Can’t wait to put it to the test on a photo session. I like the size too. Easy for “on the go”. Review: Good but basic - If you want really basic poses this is for you. I personally was hoping for more dynamic poses.

Poses Bible
I love the clean layout and just invaluable poses. Sometimes one can be at lost for creativity after doing several shoots in a few days apart. I recommend taking this to all of your shoots, especially when it's with a subject who isn't familiar with posing. It'll help you out!

Fuel your imagination
The book is a great source of inspiration for photographers at any stage of their craft. The huge number of poses are a great framework for further experimentation based on suggestions provided. My portrait photography has progressed as a direct result of reading this fine tome. And, yes, the author has the audacity to suggest that genders exist, a suggestion that has fanned the flames of relativism by other reviewers. I don't mind at all.

Very well laid out and written!
This book gave me all the information I needed to supply my knowledge of posing clients. I found it to be very well written and the images were most helpful. The author was very adept at explaining the why and how of each pose and the book was extremely well laid out, succinct and to the point. Surpassed my expectations!

It's ok
I wish this book had more poses for models. I'm a fashion model so I was a bit disappointed.

A must have for beginners
I adore this book. I like to direct my model on how to pose. I like to be organic but some times when I get stuck this book really helps. I take it to every shoot. It covers most events, but would love if there was a sequel or more content.

Amazing buy
This book has EVERYTHING! I mean engagement, couples, boudoir, regular poses, fashion, odd ones too. I find it's a great resource and has been really helpful. There's a lot of poses for Male, females or both!

Not high art but that's the point
Great little book oriented towards the workaday needs of a professional photographer or model, or those who aspire to that living. Rather than dwelling on theory it takes a "here's a pose, go and shoot it" approach. The book is very sensibly structured around today's photography market: female client wants fitness photos? here's some ideas. No doubt in five years time the genres will be horribly dated but for today it works just fine. Peppered with valuable if prosaic tips like how to show off a handbag, together with advice for the learner about how to learn quickly. High art it ain't but that's not why I bought it. As a photographer, learning to pose a model can be daunting: this is a good place to start.

Sugerencias para el fotografo amateur
Buen libro para los que empezamos con temas de fotografía y que buscamos ideas para tomar fotografías de personas. Está padre la división de temas, ya sea poses de mujeres, hombres, niños, familia, etc. También hay buenas explicaciones sobre lo que puedes y no debes de hacer.
