Posing Guide For Models and Photographers - Volume 8 Featuring Melissa (Posing Guides)

Description

Approximately 60 Pages

These posing guides were created to make available to both photographers and models an inexpensive guide to posing and are priced as low as the publisher will allow. They are not intended to be a definitive work on posing. Nor are they attempting to define the only way posing can be approached. All models are unique and bring their own style and personality to the image. The accomplished photographer recognizes this and tries to emphasize the individual characteristic that each model presents.

Photography is a visual medium. The photographer must learn to see what presents itself in the viewfinder. Although much can be explained in writing much more can be gleaned by presenting the work in a visual format. It is much easier to show a model or photographer what you are looking for than trying to communicate it by other means. That is why there is such a heavy emphasis on imagery in these books. I hope you enjoy them and that they are useful in your work. More than 55 color pictures in this work.

The artist that created this work (the author) has been a photographer for more than 40 years and has had thousands of his photographs published worldwide.

The photographer currently has fine art photography on exhibit at The Center for Fine Arts in Globe, Arizona.

The Nude In Motion - Volume 1

Description

This volume contains approximately 88 pages with about 85 color images and is intended for ADULTS only.

One of the more interesting aspects of artistic nude studies is one of motion and capturing that motion in a still frame - this volume contains images of a quite lovely young nude model in motion - little explanation is necessary as hopefully the images stand on their own. However, the viewer is advised to carefully examine the finer nuances of muscle movement and posture.

The author began photography and photo-journalism in early 1963 when he accepted an offer from his local newspaper to write about and photograph sports events at the Arizona high school where he was a junior.

After a stint in the service, he had an opportunity to study photography and printing techniques with Bernard Hoffman, a true gentleman and scholar, and one of the earliest staff photographers for Life Magazine. Since that time he had had thousands of photographs and hundreds of articles published by more than 60 national and international periodicals. He was also a contributing editor for one of them for more than ten years. Topics ran the gamut from professional sports, medicine, archeology, and photography to science.

After twenty years away from Arizona he returned in 1985 and it has been the base from which all his photographic excursions are launched. Along with many others he has embraced digital photography but can still be seen, from time to time, peering through the ground glass of a large format camera, hoisting a large medium format 6x7, or experimenting with digital lenses fitted to his 35mm camera.

Courthouse Cowboys - A Modern Tale of Murder in Montana (Legal Thriller)

Description

Murder dogs Jack and Paige Defalco from their days as California prosecutors to their newfound careers as Montana defense attorneys. Never mind that they’ve uprooted their kids, caravanned 2,000 miles to the hinterlands of Kootenai County, kissed goodbye to their fat salaries, or vowed to avoid homicide.

At Deer Lodge State Prison in 1999, murder sits before them in the guise of a skeletal, bloody-lipped, broken-nosed teenager who grins out one side of his mouth as he stares at them through a swollen eye. Evidently his fellow criminals brook no mercy for a convicted killer, regardless of his age or feeble intelligence.

This kid’s parents have no money and the local legal eagles have warned the Defalcos to let the conviction stand … or else. Yet that threat, a gauntlet thrown down, fuels the couple’s addiction to criminal law. It makes them flip the bird at those in authority and go to trial anyway. So, as they return the kid’s stare, a silent agreement passes between them, a nod that conveys two decades of marriage and as many years in the courtroom. The Defalcos will defend mentally disabled Ben Stagg.

Is it coincidence that soon thereafter anonymous callers threaten them? That the local media excoriates them? That the State Bar investigates them? Are they crazy to rat out the corrupt criminal justice system to the ACLU and the Montana Supreme Court? Are they foolhardy to challenge the powerful judges, lawyers, and cops who comprise the Courthouse Cowboys?

And with the discovery that Ben Stagg suffers from Klinefelter’s syndrome, a common but rarely diagnosed genetic disorder, will a jury acquit him of murder when presented with a never-before-used insanity defense?

This legal thriller rocks the reader with suspense, gallows humor, and a finale filled with redemption.
