Photography Posing for Portraits
Let's be honest. One of the hardest pictures to take is one where you have to pose the human body, mind you, getting your dog in the right position can be difficult, too. Coming up with ideas to fit the location or mood can be difficult. How do you avoid your subject looking awkward? Getting your idea across to the model is also a challenge. Many books that are supposed to advise you on posing waste your time with details on depth of field, average photographs with trite captions, and what should be in the model's tote bag.
