LEARN TO CREATE BEAUTIFULLY POSED IMAGES OF CHILDREN—
FROM INFANTS THROUGH TEENS

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 you with the unique set of skills you need to produce
flattering, salable images of your 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. You'll 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 that
you'll rely on time and again.
