Features over 1,000 images especially selected to inspire you and help expand your creativity. Photographs and poses are placed in context, explaining why they do (or sometimes don’t) work. A selection of poses features an accompanying lighting diagram, giving a clear understanding of how the photo was made. Includes a variety of models shot using different lighting rigs, props, and settings–in the studio and on location–making this book suitable for commercial and editorial applications. Discover the secrets of success behind professional photographers’ work, and learn how to get the best out of your models on a shoot. PLUS a technical how-to section gives master classes in angles, lighting, styling, and more. In this beautiful, yet extremely practical source book, fashion photographer Eliot Siegel embarks on an ambitious project to pull together 1,000 poses for photographing models. Designed to inspire photographers and models alike, the book's poses are organized by type including standing, sitting, reclining, crouching, kneeling, and dynamic poses, as well as head and shoulder shots and expressions. For selected images, Siegel includes a lighting diagram as well as a detailed explanation of how the image was made, but in every case he explains why a pose works, or why it doesn't. This image-packed reference also features iconic photography from prominent fashion photographers and includes a how-to chapter at the beginning of the book that provides a crash course on lighting, styling, props, and backgrounds—everything you need to know to make a woman look great, regardless of which of the 1,000 poses you wind up using. Review: Excellent reference - "Photographing Women: 1,000 Poses" is an excellent reference to use as a starting point for getting interesting poses out of a female model during a controlled shoot. The focus is on fashion-style shots, so the models are all beautiful and skinny, this isn't a book about making average-looking people look good. The book starts with a short section on technical aspects of fashion shooting: lighting, makeup, and retouching, which are critically important to this type of picture, and although this book is primarily about posing, I like how the author tries to make it clear in the beginning that posing isn't the only important thing, and a good understanding of these other issues is going to be necessary to create similar pictures. Some posing books are just bland collections of a few average models showing assortments of uninspired looks that seem like they were shot over a weekend in front of the same piece of seamless. This book contains many, many great shots of different models in different locations taken by different photographers, some very well known. The production levels are very high, and most of the finished photos are awesome. The author himself took some of the photos, and for these shots he includes rejected images from the shoot as well as the final shot, with commentary on why he rejected some of the pictures, with reasoning like "bad hand position", "unbalanced composition", etc, I found this to be very useful. There are lighting diagrams provided for the author's own photos, but I notice the lighting in these shots tends to be quite simple with one high frontal light and one background light, so this isn't really a lighting tutorial. I agree with an earlier review that this book would be much more useful as an iPad app where I could quickly find the pose I want. There is an iPad version of this book, but it's just an iBook, not an app, I downloaded the preview version and it seemed to have some formatting issues and wasn't as useful as the printed version. Anyway, this book is a large, somewhat heavy hardcover, so it's just not convenient to carry around on location, and it looks somewhat amateurish to be flipping through a book like this in front of a model. I would appreciate the coolness factor of just showing her on the iPad what I want. So I'm giving this book 5 stars for its great advice, high production values, huge selection of poses, and reasoned arguments for why to use particular poses. I'll be trying some of them at my next shoot! Review: Not just a pretty picture - Chapter 1 of this book re: the "Technical Know-How" was the best, brief, graphic presentation of the basics of portraiture photography I have seen. It's Chapter 2, "The Poses" that most intrigued me. While some might view this extensive presentation of poses as mere changing of angles in capturing portraits, I discovered it instructing me as to story telling, that is, shooting high, medium, low, varying the lighting, the different expressions of the models and the way they held themselves, each conveyed a different message. This was not something I expected. I discovered in this book an excellent instruction manual of body language communication in photos. Having said that, I must also note that this is not a "fine art" book by which one may impress his or her friends on the coffee table. While the production of the pictures is very good, it does not rate an excellent reproduction quality which would also have upped the price significantly. This book is not only what it set out to be, "a handy reference guide to intelligent posing," but also a photographer's guide to communicative photography. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,472,648 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #275 in Photography (Books) #1,442 in Digital Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 167 Reviews | ## Images ![Photographing Women: 1,000 Poses - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91tYHNULu3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent reference *by B***E on December 22, 2012* "Photographing Women: 1,000 Poses" is an excellent reference to use as a starting point for getting interesting poses out of a female model during a controlled shoot.

I have spent a lot of money on similar books and have not been very pleased with what I have purchased. Save yourself some money and disapointment and buy this book. I liked it so much I purchased the hard back book and also the kindle version for my I-pad. I have to protect this book from the Models I work with because they keep trying to walk off with it. Actually someone did and now I am going to purchase it again. For the money this is an excellent investment and I will open your eyes to greatt poses by some wonderful Models and some great Photographers. Believe me this book is by far the best when it comes to poses. I am a picky person and usually don't give praise to purchases because I always feel like they are over priced for what you get but this book is top shelf. The Kindle version is not bad but like most eletronic books I find the flow broken up and sometimes the pictures are displayed then the captions follow on another page. I can live with that. The hard back book is the way to go, I can't say enough good things about it. Very well done. ## Frequently Bought Together - Photographing Women: 1,000 Poses - The Photographer's Guide to Posing: Techniques to Flatter Everyone - POSE!: 1,000 Poses for Photographers and Models --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/3917935-photographing-women-1-000-poses](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/3917935-photographing-women-1-000-poses) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
