This is a fairly useful book for someone who's already proficient in camera basics. The printing and design are outstanding. I found that some of the photos are not top-notch as I'd expect from Don Blair and the explanations are too short for a newby. I was disappointed by this.

Don Blair and Skip Cohen wrote an outstanding workbook that beautifully illustrates the posing of individuals and couples in a concise step-by-step manner. This book is easy to read and understand making it the perfect guide to use with your clients in the studio or on location. The sections on dealing with individual flaws in your subjects and how to minimize them is worth the purchase price alone.This book is great for beginners and seasoned veterans alike.

This little book has been a great help to those I know who have purchased it. It is the right size to fit in a camera bag and take along on photo assignments to offer help in the field. Very useful information...
