500 Poses for photographing Women

Determining the best way to pose your subject—one that is both pleasing to the subject, appropriate for the setting and clothing, and visually appealing in the overall composition—can be one of the biggest challenges in creating a successful portrait. This is especially important when photographing women, where the photographer may be asked to create anything from a very traditional head-and-shoulders pose to a full-length, adventurous shot, similar to what you see in the pages of a fashion magazine. Simply put, the variety of these poses is almost limitless. This collection is a visual resource designed to answer exactly that question. Filled with images from some of the world’s leading portrait, fashion, and advertising photographers, this book provides a resource for photographers looking for inspiration for their work. Are you confused about what to do with a particular client or how to use a particular accessory? Simply flip through the sample portraits, choose something you like, and then modify it to suit your own taste, if necessary.
