New Book - Master Posing Guide for Children's Portrait Photography by Norman Phillips

Learn to create beautifully posed images of children - from infants through teens.

Buffalo, NY(PRWEB)September 15, 2006-- Amherst Media today announces Master Posing Guide for Children's Portrait Photography by Norman Phillips.

Portrait photographers know that a good pose is critical to the success of any image. There are a variety of books on the market that are devoted to posing adults; however, they don't arm the reader with the unique set of skills needed to produce flattering, salable images of their youngest portrait subjects.

In this unique book, author Norman Phillips draws upon his own experience and that of some other top children's photographers, compiling a wide range of portrait examples, insights, and strategies for producing memorable, cutting-edge, and timeless images. Learn how to ensure the best-possible presentation of infants, engage fast-moving toddlers, select appropriate props and locations, and position older kids, preteens, and teens to create unforgettable images that evoke emotion and ensure great sales. Filled with step-by-step tips for posing boys, girls, twins and triplets, and groups—whether on location or in the studio—this is one book to rely on time and again.
