Format:Paperback
I bought this book looking for advice on posing models. Thats exactly what I got. Advice on how to direct models into "good" poses. It covers everything from fundamentals on body shape, to hands, feed, legs, facial expressions etc. Not perfect but as good as ive found. Certainly worth buying for any photographer wanting to further their knowlege.

As other reviewers I bought this book to learn techniques for posing of models, and it covers pretty much all aspects I had hoped in detail, including the dreaded hands placement.
Not quite 5* as I think it has some room for improvement, but certainly the best book I have come across on the subject. The cover does not really reflect the content in that its mostly posing for normal clothed models, so don't let it bias your opinion about the content.

This book covers the posing of each individual part of the body. It also points out the differences in posing for different genres e.g. the positioning of hands for product work as opposed to fashion. More importantly it points out and graphically demonstrates the ways not to do it.
The book took me a few hours to read, due to the fact there are lots of pictures and the text is short and to the point. I would suggest I will need to go back over it to fully absorb the points.
Why 'almost' in the review title? As pointed out in other reviews, there is very little if no useful hints to working with male models. The writer seems to assume that all models are female. This makes it quite awkward if you are literally just starting out and the only person you have to help you is a male mate. Point to note - it is not the wearing of high heels or the blonde wig, it is the chest waxing that has put him off! Guess I need to find another book for posing males.
To sum up - worth the money? I think so.

Dreadful. You could learn more by buying a couple of magazines. Awful images and the text is really of no use. Not worth the money.
