Ať už fotografujete profesionální modelku nebo ve fotomodelingu nezkušenou dívku, svou přítelkyni či klientku, je vždy důležité, aby na výsledném snímku působila dobře a přirozeně. Tato kniha vám ukáže ohromný rozsah póz a jejich variací, které máte jako fotograf (či modelka) k dispozici. Autor vám na svých fotografiích předvede konkrétní pozice rukou, nohou, hlavy a celého těla, popíše vám jejich efekt na fotografii, poukáže na ty, které působí zdeformovaně, a naopak doporučí ty, které je vhodné používat. Naučíte se sledovat, jaké části fotografie přitahují nejvíce pohled diváka a jak s touto znalostí můžete dál pracovat – jaký je rozdíl mezi tím, když je hlavním objektem zájmu krása modelky, a jakou pózu modelky zvolit, když chcete přitáhnout pohled diváka k luxusnímu náramku, který má modelka na ruce.
