Containing 500 contemporary images by leading photographers, this indispensable manual explains posing fundamentals as well as how to create a flattering, feature-specific photograph--one that focuses on the head, shoulders, arms, torso, or feet--in different levels of close-ups, from head-shots to full-lengths.
