I am pretty sure that Kundalini put a link to Photocamel post with a tonne of portrait posing tips. I promptly subscribed to another forum lol so I can troll somewhere else too.

Found it.

The Rules Of Good Portraiture

One trick it so browse magazines and web sites, looking for poses that you like. Then tear them out (print them off) and use them as cheat sheets while shooting. You can even shot the model the photos and ask them to mimic the pose.

Kinda like Big Mike said I norm google images and then save the poses I find that I like. Then I email them to myself so I can pull them up on my phone when I am shooting if I need to refrence back.. I also make a "hit list'' if I am using diffrent back grounds so that I know ok this back ground I want this pose. : )
