Posing information

rickp · February 24, 2011

I'm looking for some reference material on poses. A document that shows a wide range of poses, full body, leaning, portrait, half body, etc...
Where can I get that?

Thanks

Explore this site. http://asktheoleproaboutphotography.shutterfly.com/joezeltsman2

I am not on my computer and was unable to get into the site where I am but he was the master of posing and lighting.

You might have to be a shutterfly member.

I once took a week long class by Joe Zeltsman. He was very knowledgeable but you can get the info in his web courses. http://jzportraits.home.att.net/

Joe Zeltsman died on Dec 15, 2008 - He was 100 years old. Not sure if anyone is maintaining the sites.

Quite a few links in Ivars tips/tricks/tutorials link, here http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=148210

And I found this document quite interesting http://polisphotography.com/Documents/Imagesforweb/posing.pdf

I believe there are some posing books out there - didn't Trudy (VayCayMom) once link to something lik that?

Rick,
There is an older archive copy of the site "The Zeltsman Approach to Traditional Classic Portraiture" located at http://web.archive.org/web/20080411072845/groups.msn.com/Asktheoleproaboutphotography/joezeltsman.msnw

Most of the pictures are still in tack, and the text is there. I hope this helps.

Best of luck,
Kelly
