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,

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...
