The Art of Posing and Directing Women

The technical side of photography is only one-half of the image. The other half? Knowing how to pose your model.

But it's not that easy. To take flawless pictures, you must learn how to connect with a model. How do you communicate what you're visualizing in your mind to a model who may or may not be half naked and feeling exposed?

That's what you'll learn in Andy Armstrong's latest book, The Art of Posing and Directing Women. If you're new to model photography, this book will be your new bible for learning how to pose a model correctly.

Unlike other glamour modeling books, this one focuses extensively on the communication aspect of photography. Learning how to connect with your subject is just as important as knowing how to adjust your shutter speed and aperture. It's also what separates the newbie photographers from the pros.

This is a 114-page guide with 45 pages of posing women, pose progression, and specialized poses. What I enjoyed most was the 20+ pages of effective methods of direction. Lastly, you'll get amazing lighting diagrams especially aimed at shooting the ladies.
