Not impressed at all by the poses presented in the book. A few great photos but most of them were just ok. I am not a professional photographer, I just love taking pictures of my kids so I got this to find more useful poses for my pictures. After looking through the entire book, I have founded it totally useless. There is not a single pose in there I haven't tried or done with my kids before. I would not waste money on this.
Most of the kids in these images are either young or older teens. I don't see too many that relate to my own children's ages and so I wasn't inspired to race out and practice posing techniques from this book with my kids. There are some group shots of kids, but the kids are all very close in age...what do you do when they aren't? That or there's quite a bit of age between the kids...like a little kid and a baby for instance, or a teen and a little kid. Additionally, poses of groups of kids tend to feature the same way. Either that or if the kids appear similar in age to my own, they are all very different in height so getting a dynamic image with varying head heights is easy. What do you do when your subjects are both close in age and height?!?!? I own all of the 500 poses series and this is my least favorite.
Just the thing for boosting creativity in poses when you get in a rut. Beautiful images to get the ideas flowing. If you are looking for a how to book this isn't it. This is for photographers who know lighting and camera settings.
I wasn't very impressed. Was expecting more than average poses and more instruction. I photograph my 4 kids and already use these poses. I would only recommend this to someone that's NEVER taken pictures.
I was hoping for well illustrated tutorials. The book is a picture book of decent to excellent examples with a modicum of teaching. It could have been a much better book with more inside secrets and tips.
This is a visual guide of real children in real poses. It includes a variety of numbers, ages and sizes and all are photographed well. There aren't a ton of over the top crazy poses, no, but this is a good visual primer for photographers who need a good solid workflow established or for anyone stuck in a rut and needing a boost of ideas for posing as well as image inspiration. Can you Google images like this or find them on Pinterest? Probably...HOWEVER these are all hand picked to be solid, tested, client-pleasers taken by professionals and you don't have to wade through hours of internet junk to find them. When I Google "Poses for Photographing Children" my page shows around 30 images that are completely irrelevant, 40 or so "snapshots" with no pose whatsoever...and this book. ;) Take the search out of your research and put this on your bookshelf!
I purchased book expecting some really great ideas. Most of these look like some of my old practice shots. Not very inspiring. I want to improve my skills, not critique someone else's.
This was a Christmas gifts to my photo snapping daughter-in-law. She loves taking pictures of her children and often goes to photographers. She loved getting this book, giving her lots of ideas and the money savings from doing it herself. There are not only examples but solutions to difficult shots, lighting and backgrounds. I'm anticipating the many great pictures she'll be taking of the kids that not only will she enjoy but us and her parents will enjoy. I love the price I paid, the speed it arrived and the excellent condition its in. I will definitely shop for my other needs.
