Keen to increase my skills in the area of posing subjects I read this book, written by Lou Jacobs Jr. This book was very different to most photography books I have come across. Rather than describing poses and instructing the reader on how to create them, this book instead provides much broader advice.
The Art of Posing is made up of a number of sections with each section being written by a different (American) commercial photographer. The photographers describe their target demographic and touch on how they market their business and how they go about creating images that will be commercially successful. As such the book covers much more than posing. However each of the subjects touched upon is covered only lightly as each of the photographers provides their view and perspective on the same topics.
While this book was interesting to read I did not find it of particular value towards posing people at my current stage of development.
