Posing Secrets – Vol. 1 is ‘must’ reading for anyone interested in all types of photographing the Human Form. With its ‘in-depth’ description and its illustrated way of how to pose a model, this book excels.
No matter how many years experience you have of posing models, this book will help you to find new ways.
Hi, I’m Malcolm Boone and in the next few minutes I’m going to show you how Posing Secrets – The Photographer’s Essential Guide Vol. 1 is going to improve your ability to produce and communicate posing ideas that will lift your portraiture to a higher standard.
Let’s be honest. One of the hardest pictures to take is one where you have to pose the human body. Coming up with ideas to fit the location or mood can be difficult. How do you avoid your subject looking awkward? Getting your idea across to the model is also a challenge. You can try to avoid the effort and frustration by using posing cards, but they limit you to how many cards you have that might fit your requirements. Many books that are supposed to advise you on posing waste your time with details on depth of field, average photographs with trite captions, and what should be in the model’s tote bag.
Posing Secrets – The Photographer’s Essential Guide Vol.1 is a newly released practical resource for creative posing that will quickly show you clear and comprehensive practical steps to produce and communicate a pose for any situation.
This book is for you if you photograph people and is invaluable whether you use digital or film photography. No matter what angle you wish to photograph your model from you can apply these techniques to head shots, ¾ shots and full length shots. Whether you want models still or apparently in motion, seated or standing, this resource will suggest every pose any photographer would need.
It contains a surprisingly sure fire system that leads to unlimited possible poses. Starting from scratch the step-by-step instructions show you the tricks to producing camera-friendly poses that successfully translate the three-dimensional body to a two-dimensional medium.
Innovative illustrations concentrate on the lines of the body and its posture. The main components of posing are the body, legs, arms and head. Each is analyzed and their possibilities shown. You will discover how to develop your own poses and how to use your shoot time efficiently by following methods that easily communicate the pose that you want.
With this resource you can always produce an appropriate pose to create a visually and psychologically impressive image whatever the location, mood or camera position. You’ll be shown how to quickly raise standards and keep improving them.
Imagine being supremely proud of pictures admired by all. Portraits so good family and friends will be proud to display them. Gain confidence as you win acclaim for your talent, skill and ability. If portrait photography is your hobby imagine getting to the standard where you can exhibit and sell your work if you wish.
Forget trial and error. You need never be stuck for a pose again when you get this easy to read, simple to follow book that you can download in minutes.
To my surprise, I found it full of superb techniques, was expertly written and gave a unique way of visualising poses. It allowed me to re-visit my training and look at posing subjects from a different angle. This has improved my technique and increased my skills base, which can only benefit my clients and increase my turnover. Just goes to show you can "teach an old dog new tricks". Thanks Malcolm, worth every penny. A good investment for any person looking at improving their posing skills and techniques.
Just when I thought I knew it all. After a lot of deliberation and reluctance to buying off the net rather than a bound book from a walk in bookshop, I bought your Posing Secrets Vol 1 and was truly amazed at the speed in which it arrived on my email, almost immediately, and the analytical and diagramatic contents. To learn what you provide in this Volume from a photographic school in Australia would cost around $400-$800 in fees, and then I doubt they would cover the topics you have in Posing Secret Vol 1.
You are certainly on a winner here Malcolm, giving the experienced and novice photographer an entirely new way of looking at the human body. It was money well spent, and normally it is easier to get money out of a beggar than it is to get money out of me.
Malcolm’s book is a no nonsense guide to posing a model. The book goes into great detail, not only posing the body but even foot and hand placement and what a huge difference this makes! I particularly liked the idea of visualizing my model as a silhouette – this takes away the distraction of everything except the form. Simple diagrams and straightforward language make it easy for non-techies like me to understand clearly.
My first assignment AFTER reading the book showed a huge improvement and the young lady was thrilled with her portraits – thanks Malcolm.
I highly recommend this Posing Secrets Volume 1. It teaches the photographer how to pose every aspect of the subject from their head to their toes. Before I read the book I could only pose models with model pose cards, but now I can come up with my own posing ideas. I am very glad I bought the book and look forward to purchasing volume 2.
I am a student photographer and I am absolutely amazed by how much I learned from your book. I purchased it the day it came out! I was so excited I couldn’t wait for the file to download. When I opened it up and read it, I was floored.
I take photography classes and you simplified everything that I needed to know. The pictures helped…
