   This was EASILY my favorite series of the year. I got your iPhone app with the guides. I haven’t used it all that much, because I don’t really photograph people all that often, but the descriptions are fabulous, and I always have it handy for the next time I do find myself needing to photograph a friend or small group.

   Thanks for all your help during the year, and most particularly for this posing series!

   I truly love these guides. I really really do but can we PLEASE see some real people pose for these guides in 2013?

   As happy as the wedding couple stick figures in the next to last segment?

   For me posing is the most difficult thing to remember and sometimes I run out of ideas in a shoot. Thanks for the “posing cheat sheet”!

   The idea of the simple line drawing catches the essentials of the pose without the distractions of a full colour pic. Makes a brilliant prompt card guide. Thank you

   This is a treasure trove of information! I’m definitely going to be referencing this as I learn more about photographing people this year. Thanks for the ‘all-in-one’ post! Time to get the wife to pose for more photos.

   The posing guides are helpful, but while I saw lots of suggestions on making women look sexy, there were none comparable for men. Also, I saw lots of suggestions on how to photograph men working at their desks, but none of working women. What is wrong with these pictures?

    Leah,
    thanks for your comment.
    I see your point. I really do. But I would like to respond and state the obvious truth – women and men generally are being photographed differently. If you particularly don’t, nothing is wrong with that if it works for you. As nothing is wrong with women who want to look sexy in pictures. And all sample poses with men working at desk will work very good also for female models, why don’t you just try that?
    Best regards,
    Kaspars

    I like the drawn poses. I can see it much more clearly. Sometimes I just want to look at something in particular without all the “other” stuff. In this case, I want to look at poses.

    Very useful article to pose my subjects. Very often my subjects stand as of they are going to be photographed for a passport. This guide gives me a better way to handle the situation. Thanks a lot.

    Very useful article. I have been behind the camera only a couple of months and this article will help me to get the model and myself in a relaxed mood. Thank you
