Rolando Gomez's Posing Techniques for Glamour Photography Review

Rolando Gomez's Posing Techniques for Glamour Photography

I have read a few of Rolando's books. I have actually shot with a few of his favorite models. Rolando is good...no doubt. The book is well written and offers many points and tips for any photographer interested in Glamour or not. My thing about this book is that I'm not into this type of photography so I think that tainted my review to just 4 stars instead of 5. I just want to be honest!
As I have stated in numerous reviews, the price makes this book worth it. I have hundreds of dollars worth of Amherst Media books and it's for a reason....they make EXCELLENT resource books for WHEN I want ideas or need them. I read them, critique them, implement numerous ideas, and put sticky notes on pages for future reference.
Definitely take a look at this book. You WILL like it!

Literally working from head to toe, the images in this essential guide to glamour photography demonstrate how to flatter models' assets and downplay any perceived flaws when there is no clothing to hide behind. Detailed instructions on recreating classic poses and a thorough discussion of the three main sections of the body-upper body, lower body, and backside-are coupled with ample photographic examples. Abundant illustrations reveal how to manipulate a model's tresses, garner the best possible views of the face, and visually enhance the appearance of the breasts, arms, abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, calves, feet, and toes. Best-practice techniques for maximizing curves and minimizing bulk will make each subject look her personal best. Because of the intimate nature of nude and semi-nude photo shoots, suggestions for easing into the shoot while staying on task and ensuring a subject's comfort are also discussed.
