1It is worth $5.  Jun 02, 2008
Bad book with suspicious reviews!

I have got many books about posing and portrait photography at about the same price but great works in term of book production, this one though I can not believe I bought it for 18 bucks plus shiping, I think the reviews are unreasonably too good (very suspicious!!), the only reason I did not return it was that my little girle chew on it,
There are much better books out there regarding posing.
In terms of paper and the material and production work I doubt it costs more than 2 dollars to produce such a book.

5Informative and easy to read  May 03, 2008
This is a marvelous little book. I wanted to do some portrait photography but didn't know where to start. After reading this well written and well ilustrated book I was given a huge amount of information.
If you want to know how to pose people either individually or in groups this book will give you an enormous amount of information in a short time.

Buy it it's worth a read.

4Great little book  Apr 26, 2008
Great little book, wish I discovered it earlier.
It gives great, practical, and most of all very USABLE tips for photography.
I've been shooting for a few years now and saw a lot of ideas here which are very helpful.
The drawings illustrate the concept in ways that a photo would not.

Warning though, this is a very QUICK read... which can be both good or bad.
Its one of those which you wish you borrowed instead of bought.
At the end of the day, still happy I bought it. :-)

5Great Addition to Your Camera Bag  Mar 17, 2008
Want a handy little guide to help with posing? This one fills the bill. Through the use of cartoon drawings, principles are simplified to help the beginner, or remind the more experienced photographer. The bottom line is that this book is small and simplified enough to go with you and use on the fly.

If you want to go to the next step, I recommend Jeff Smith's book, Posing Techniques for Location Portrait Photography.

5Quite practical  Mar 08, 2008
I've actually made copies that I've plasticized (3.5" x 5.5") so that I can carry those suggestions around. There are plenty of pose ideas for all the type of photos that I take. Besides, it helps the models see exactly what I mean, and saves time.
