(More customer reviews)This is a great tool and money saver for artists. The book contains pictures of the models, but in the DVD which comes with it each pose can be rotated to give the artist at least several views of the same figure. They are royalty free, so you can use them as your model and, if you like, make whatever facial or figurative changes in features or other details on your own. It is like having a set of genii models. Some of the poses, are unfortunately rather stiff looking, but the majority are quite useful. Although you can go to the website and download individual poses, some of which are free, others of which you must purchase, it is far cheaper to buy an entire book of poses than to buy them individually. However, keep this in mind, on a rush job, on a week-end or holiday, with no live models available, the download idea can be a commission saver. You have the fall back that you can always look for a pose that works on their website and download. Before buying any of the books, however, you might want to check out the contents and see if the poses are appropriate for your work before buying.

I would say, all in all, if you are an artist, it is a boon to have this book, and although I do prefer live models, in a pinch and for very little money, you can be secure in the knowledge that numerous models are right in your studio, virtually sitting on your bookshelf, and those photos within can be expanded or contracted to a variety of sizes and with very solid, clear resolution. I often use a Projector for enlarging to life size or larger, after I make the initial drawing from the Model.
I own books 3, & 4 and will soon order 5 and I highly recommend this system. I give them 4.5 stars.

While no book can replace a live model, this photographic guide to the human form provides an array of figures for those who do not have access to live models. The latest in the series, this guide features two new models and an entirely new collection of photographs. Posed in a variety of classical and modern positions, the models appear in a clear, clean environment that is void of distractions and enhances the figure. All of the high-resolution photographs were painstakingly edited and adjusted to yield all the nuances of the figures. The PC- and Mac-compatible companion CD-ROM contains 24 photographs per pose that, in total, comprise a full 360-degree view. Each angle of every pose can be enlarged, enabling artists to zoom in on specific body parts to discover their intricate detail or project the photos to lifelike proportions. The CD also offers the flexibility of numerous viewing options-on a computer screen, printed out, projected for a group, or via a high-definition television when connected through a computer.
