    Google FTW

    Quite literally just 500 photos, not poses, of men. The pages aren't set up correctly for my nook color so it makes it impossible to bookmark any poses you like or want to revisit. MANY poses are identical, just a different model/background. There are about 3 pages of general posing tips that are common knowledge and well covered if you know or have read anything else on posing. My advice is do a google search and get similar results.

    A must for every portrait photographer!

    shooting portraits can be difficult work. If you've been shooting portraits for years and trying to keep them fresh, a book like this will make your life a lot easier. This is a compendium of poses proven to work, and with 500 to choose from I doubt you will be lacking for inspiration!
