Fashionable Posing Book - Michael Voigtländer, Tobias Pechstein

Exemplary fashion and advertising poses for photography, illustration and graphic design

Placing people in a certain pose and capturing them is an essential component of staged photography. But posing can also be used as a powerful design tool outside of photography. Posing can be applied in graphic design, painting, illustration, and all other areas of creative work. Knowledge of different poses and their effects is an essential component of the creative process. This book illustrates the most commonly used poses in fashion and advertising photography, researched from 10,000 fashion and advertising photographs from the past 50 years. Posingbook offers tips for aesthetically portraying people and for specifically controlling the model's expression. The book is intended as an aid to typical sources of error and shows ways of increasing the advertising effectiveness of portraits with the help of geometric shapes.
