 Ways to capture more than a smile Sep 14, 2009
I found this book to be a great find, I loved the humor and found the cartoon drawings a simple way to get passed the unneeded detail of explaining. I am sure it will pay for its self. Thanks

Not intended for the Yousuf Karsh's of the world, but great for beginners. May 29, 2009
So called experts claim there is nothing new here. Yep they are right, but if you are not experienced with posing people this is the book to get. I have been a shutterbug since the 80's, but most of my work was landscapes and street photography. People love my work and I am often asked to take their portraits, unfortunately, I have never been truly satisfied with the results when photographing people who are not naturally photogenic. This book changed all of that; I now know how to pose people who are uncomfortable in front of the camera.
I read some reviews that stated the book was overpriced, that is seemed to be printed in some guys back yard press. Well if you want to invest (as I have in the past) in countless of posing books distributed through large presses, just to hear boring stories about how great the photographer is, then buy all means skip this little treasure. I have spent $$$ on many books that never came close to explaining rules as well as this little book. Again, there is nothing new here; you will not be the next Yousuf Karsh after reading this.
BEST BOOK ON POSING I HAVE EVER BOUGHT Mar 07, 2009
By far, this is the best book of its kind I have ever purchased at any price. I don't do much portrait work but when I do, I find I myself pulling out the copies I made of the hints at the back of the book to refer to and use them as a "cheat sheets". The "cheat sheets" are not only helpful for me but also for the the sitter. I have tossed the "cheat sheets" I drew years ago in favor of the ones from this book. As to the cost, I judge a books worth by how much I use it and this little book is used in some way every time I do portrait work. I only wish I would have had a copy many years ago. I would urge everyone interested in portrait work to buy this book first, I think you will find it may be the only book on posing you will ever need.
Great guide to posing people Jan 11, 2009
I have to say that I love this little book. It may not seem like much when you first get it but the content in the book is great. Very useful information on how to pose people.
