Mastering Posing in Portrait Photography is a practical, image-driven guide for photographers who work with real people—not models—and want to create portraits that feel confident, flattering, and emotionally alive.

Written by master photographer Jeff Lubin, this Print Replica Edition features 119 full-page studio portraits, each paired with professional posing instruction, coaching language, and actionable advice. While a select number include detailed lighting diagrams, every image is designed to teach you how to see, direct, and sculpt the human form with purpose.

You’ll learn:

• How to pose men, women, children, couples, and groups with clarity and control

• How to correct posture, guide hand placement, and create natural flow through the body

• What to say to clients during a session to help them relax and respond

• How to troubleshoot real-world challenges like uneven features, slouching, or stiff expressions

• How to work with people of all ages, sizes, and confidence levels to bring out their best

This is not a collection of trendy poses—it’s a timeless reference built on over 40 years of real studio experience. Whether you're new to portrait work or looking to refine your skills, this book will sharpen your eye, strengthen your authority, and help you create portraits that clients cherish for a lifetime.
