   I am a student photographer and I am absolutely amazed by how much I learned from your book. I purchased it the day it came out! I was so excited I couldn’t wait for the file to download. When I opened it up and read it, I was floored.

   I take photography classes and you simplified everything that I needed to know. The pictures helped to bring it all together. The most important thing that I learned from your book is that a body is a silhouette, if you stop focusing on clothing and see lines then you can take a better picture. Phenomenal work, I appreciate your dedication to complete this book.

   Malcolm’s book is a no nonsense guide to posing a model. The book goes into great detail, not only posing the body but even foot and hand placement and what a huge difference this makes! I particularly liked the idea of visualizing my model as a silhouette – this takes away the distraction of everything except the form. Simple diagrams and straightforward language make it easy for non-techies like me to understand clearly.

   My first assignment AFTER reading the book showed a huge improvement and the young lady was thrilled with her portraits – thanks Malcolm.

   BTW – not only is it useful for photographers but a MUST READ for any aspiring models.

   I have just downloaded your Posing Secrets vol 1 and have spent the last hour going through it. All I can say is “Wow”!

   Before, I would go through magazines and look at the posed pictures in the ads in an attempt to learn new poses but I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. The sections in your book on body lines and foot placement made total sense and now I know what I am looking for when I look at the magazines. Thanks again for a very good informative book on posing.

   I have found the way I approach a session has now changed, with more forethought and use of your diagrams and rough sketches to help direct the subject. Making me feel more of a reasonably confident director than someone trying to communicate without much success.

   My daughter tends to be my ‘guinea pig’ more often than not when trying something new and she summed it up better than I could – as she no longer finds posing difficult or like a game of twister that has gone wrong.
