"This is one of the best photography books ever. I love how the book goes through your process of directing a shoot and that it goes so much deeper. It's incredibly hard to find photography education that is beyond the basics.”

POSING IS AWKWARD AND UNCOMFORTABLE
for you, YOUR clients, and for those random people watching...
Posing is unnatural and it never cultivates a moment of authenticity. Although you can fake an image with amazing lighting and the right angle, you create a greater experience and brand value when you help your clients feel completely themselves in front of your camera.
I remember the stress of pulling out my camera and not having a clue what to do. So worried about whether I’d get “the shot” and not being able to even focus on anything because I was so overwhelmed by the awkwardness.
The intimacy you cultivate with a couple on a shoot begins with your first conversation with them and in Poser, I break down the psychology of why relationships matter to our art and then I break down my entire posing process step by step to help you take a deeper approach with your clients.
