Hi,

Can some recommend a book which illustrates how to pose people for
portraits. I would love a book that would show full body poses and posing
shots outside the studio.  I saw a few books that show lots of upper body
indoor type portraits, but they were too focused as such.

I want to learn where, for example a model should keep her hands while
standing. Or, where her feet should be positioned.

Thanks for any and all help.

I got this book a couple of weeks ago (it's new) and it covers hands and
feet posing extensively. I like it because it shows three or four
incremental examples so that you can see each posing technique getting
better.

Thank you!  That book plus another I saw is exactly what I need.

Have a great day,
Dave

I've heard Playboy always has good examples, although I can't speak from
experience as I only used to buy it to read the articles ;)

It's a euphimism: " 'Ja see the articles on _that_ one? "

On the other article, you seen one article, you seen 'em all...
