The posing section is broken down into various types: casual, formal, elegant: dresses, suits, shorts, swimwear: standing, leaning, sitting.

 

We have covered all the bases for you.

Guiding your subjects through similar sequences will maximise your posing, minimise your time and increase your professionalism.

 

 

 

 By giving you a full breakdown of the top tips and "rules" of posing - especially fashion posing - you will learn what to look for in camera to make sure the quality of your images goes up.  You will also reduce the number of failed shots because of bad posing.

Of course all rules are made to broken, these are guidance only, you will see many examples throughout the book which break the rules.  That is in the nature of models posing and fashion work in particular.  But the "rules" are very good guides to start from.  Begin with these posing rules and your finished photographs and images will instantly improve.

The guide then gives over 1,000 fashion poses broken down by style of clothing and clothing type, standing, sitting or with stool or chair:

You will see the range of practical positions and stances you can use for formal, elegant posing and clothing.  Through to more urban, teenage or street styles.

The underwear and swimwear sections give you styles which are both discrete and positive and will work for many body shapes.
