    I’ve known Jeff Smith since he started his business and he is the best. His portraits

    come alive with the feelings of the subject. This book is a must for anyone

    who takes pictures of people. And not just professionals. Those of us who

    are parents and grandparents can learn a lot about posing which will make

    our personal memories even better.

    Great book! And I love the wedding shots in the park. I know that couple!

    The book is ideal so that this started to photograph in studio and needs referencias to locate the models. Many poses and its variations. I recommend.

    It contains only and the details posing for teenager to adult, but not glamor “nudity” posing (as author state his philosophy about the “glamor”). Woth the “$”

    Well I need 2 more books to be feel completed that it composition and lighting techniques.

    4/14/2008, Since this is my first book regrading to posing. After weeks of read, and see the pictures begin look “award, weerrr” but I still don’t know why. I loan book “posing… by Bill Hurter” I realized the pictures tilted the model head extremely and some time “hurt” such an unnatural look. I have to change to 3. But Amazon not let me do that.
