Book Overview

500 Poses for Photographing Men by Michelle Perkins is designed to support portrait photographers when working with male subjects. The introduction discusses how posing “rules” for men can be more stringently applied, and how many photographers find male sessions shorter and less patient with fussy sittings.

The collection provides images from accomplished portrait, fashion, and commercial photographers. For ease of use, the portraits are grouped by framing level, starting with head-and-shoulders, then waist-up, then three-quarter-length, and finally full-length portraits.

The three-quarter- and full-length sections include separate subdivisions for standing and seated subjects.

What You’ll Discover Inside

• Head-and-shoulders poses for male portrait framing.
• Waist-up portraits that include head, shoulders, arms, hands, and some torso.
• Three-quarter-length poses, including both seated and standing options.
• Full-length poses for standing and seated subjects.
• An appendix: Posing Fundamentals.
