500 Poses for Photographing Women: A Guide to Portrait Photography

As women have always been an interesting, attractive subject to capture, posing them becomes an essential thing to master to create good female portraits. The book 500 Poses for Photographing Women—published by Amherst Media—offers a “visual sourcebook” useful for photographers, providing examples and references for portraying women.

Full of images to use as examples, the book will be a good reference for professional photographers engaged in various genres of photography—from glamour, fashion, portrait, commercial, to wedding photography. The book presented poses which will make a female portrait looks more professional rather than amateur. The 500 poses offered covers head and shoulder, waist-up, three quarter, and full-length; either in reclining pose, sitting, or standing.

Comprised of images from numerous photographers, the book is suitable for professional photographers as well as advanced amateurs to learn and experiment on posing—a central and most overlooked aspect in photographing women. The 128-page book can be purchased at a suggested retail price of US$34.95 (Rp313,000), but it can also be ordered from Amazon for US$22.71 (Rp203,000). dpreview.com
