Red Dog News Recommends the OMP Posing Guide

Red Dog News is the online photography missive from the folks at Cygnet Press. Managing Editor Tim Anderson offered an exclusive review of the OMP Posing Guide, and we wanted to share it with our members in case they are looking for last-minute gift ideas.

"The folks over at One Model Place (where I find many of the models I use for my projects), have released the consumate book for the photographer and/or model who just can't think of enough poses to keep a session going. It seems as though, for most photographers, there are only so many poses the human body can do. With the "Guide to Posing the Female Model, photography tips.com and One Model Place have made the perfect book available, with more than 1,000 individual black-and-white poses. This is a no-brainer for any photographer who uses models."
