Hi Heather, Good question! Photo magazines are always excellent resources for studying different types of photography. Here at BetterPhoto, there are many options: Check BP's contest finalists for outstanding pics in a number of categories, including People. For portrait shots you particularly admire, simply click on the photographer's gallery to see more images! In addition, we have an excellent 4-week online course on the subject: Posing and Portraiture Techniques with Ibarionex Perello Plus, you'll find some great ideas in Ibarionex's BP article: Portrait Photography: Lighting and Background Hope this helps! 4/30/2007 10:08:15 AM |

Our photography club has portrait nights with studio lights and strobes for the members to use and volunteer models come along to pose and in return they get free photos. I have found that to be a good way of getting experience in posing techniques and communicating with the model which is essential for good photos. Some models are natural at it and some not.

Hello Healther, Don't laugh, but I watch America's Next Top Model. The photos are incredible and I find the suggestions that are given to the models help me guide people into posing who dont' know how to pose. Plus I learn from the novice model's common mistakes. I've also learned which poses are better depending on the model's facial features and structure. If you are looking for unique poses, I get a lot of ideas from this show.
