Coming soon. The problem is there are so many to show. Will need to do a story board.

Here's a few of my thumbnail pages.

I rarely shot all the images available, though you can see the variation I aim for.

I was also shooting for magazines which are A4 format and more suited to portrait framing. And were picking 20 images max out of a set of 120+. Still more landscape and variation than many shooters I would wager.

I learnt by listening to editors and other shooters about how to improve my techniques and sales. We don't get a lot of feed back on the Net.

Jarmusch little has changed with posing since the 80s. And these examples were all shot in this decade and all made far far more for me as a shooter than any custom set ever made. Posing isn't styles or niches. But even in amateur there's no excuse for bad limited posing.

Fewer pics but still lots of poses. Stop the hate and start to think.
