Rocky Nook The Photographer's Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter Everyone

Actually, I hadn’t realized this book was in my cart until it arrived! I have been photographing for a long time and most of my models are professionals so posing never really comes up as an issue. The author, Lindsay Adler, is a photographer based in New York though I have no idea what percentage of her work nowadays is educational and what is commercial. She is without doubt an excellent teacher, as you will know if you have watched any of her YouTube videos. Her work is detailed, methodical and clear and she seems to accomplish almost all of it with just one lens. This book is exceptional with its detailed descriptions, clear advice on things to look for and exercises on training the eye. It is quite remarkable in the depth of detail and is more like an art school photography text in posing than the usual sort of book that gets passed off as teaching in this area. In fact, I know of no other book that can match it. The book covers an extensive range of genres with valuable advice, tips and approaches to capturing memorable portraits over the entire gamut of portraiture most photographers will encounter. Even experienced photographers are likely to find some useful hints between its covers. So don’t be like me and buy it by accident. It is a very valuable purchase with solid utilitarian advice and guidance in a difficult area for amateur models and every day clients. Just one word of advice: don’t get so hung up on getting every little detail right that the client becomes really uncomfortable because that will make for a very bad experience for everyone and do nothing for your reputation. Know your stuff but don’t go overboard. And I note that Lindsay Adler gives almost the same advice in the pages of her tome. Exceptional book - not great, exceptional!

O conteúdo do livro é imprescindível para aqueles que, assim como eu, estão se iniciando no mundo da fotografia de pessoas (modelos e não-modelos). Infelizmente o produto veio um pouco danificado, creio que pelo modo como foi embalado, visto que não veio nem com a película plástica que normalmente vem (e que inclusive vieram os outros livros que comprei junto). Mas quanto ao livro em si, excelente! Recomendo

Lindsay is a top New York fashion photographer and one of the best trainers from Creative Live on posing. Packed with information for anyone who simply wants to look good in images plus excellent “go to” poses for photographers. In addition there are suggestions for all ages and groups. Filled with images for photographers showing how poses can be improved. It’s well presented and a perfect addition to anyone who’s watched her Creative Live videos. Thoroughly recommended.

Non l'ho ancora terminato ma è un libro ricco di informazioni e metodi al pari di un libro di Roberto Valenzuela. Vale di più dei dollari che costa

Ideal para iniciarse en el mundo del retrato, Por poner una pega, no hay edición en español, o al menos no la encontré.
