Good books (or websites!) on posing models?

[Steven.Photography]

Hey all!

I've been looking vigorously on amazon for some good books on posing models, but I'm getting some serious mixed reviews. (I'm mostly interested in fashion type photography)

I have a pretty strong understanding of the CSI concepts for the base of my work, but I'd like to start learning more.

Have you got any suggestions for a great read on the topic? Normally I'd trust the amazon reviews, but given the quality of work here I thought I'd ask!

Thanks,

Steve

Go to your local supermarket and buy a couple fashion magazines, they'll have hundreds of poses to check out.

Thats actually an awesome idea thank you! I'll have to get the girlfriend to buy a few so I can steal them after ha... I've been doing this with 500px already with some of the top photos and the ones I like; Maybe it would be more useful if I documented my findings.
