Model. Problems of posing. Mortenson U.

The task of this book is to teach a photographer that begins to work with the model to approach this process critically. Any meaningful and useful criticism of creative work is based mainly on the analysis of the shortcomings. Each student must develop the advantages of his work independently. A teacher or critic cannot constructively criticize a photo or story, while not doing his work for the student. As a result of such an intervention, an acceptable thing can really turn out - a photograph or a story, or a symphony, but in essence it will be an achievement of a teacher. Therefore, the book consists mainly of warnings and instructions on what to do. To formulate specific instructions on how to pose is as impossible as to draw up instructions for writing songs. Nevertheless, in both cases there are certain errors and traps, which should be warned of an inexperienced beginner. Some mistakes that will be discussed in the book are shown in a slightly exaggerated form and a reasonable person may seem obvious obvious and unthinkable. However, examples of almost every typical mistake described in this book can be found on the pages of photojournals and almanacs, in books on photographing naked nature, as well as on international photo exhibitions.
