A 213-page reference for photographers and models working in swimwear.
Built from a full editorial shoot of 395 unique poses, this guide is what we wish we'd had on set the first hundred times. No fluff, no generic stock — every frame is a usable reference you can pull up between setups and show to the model.
What's inside
Two chapters of fundamentals — Light, Lens & Location and Directing the Pose — covering the things that actually make a swimwear shoot work: when to shoot, what to shoot it on, and how to talk to your model so she gives you the frame instead of holding the pose.
Then nine chapters of pose references, organised by what the body is doing:
- I — Standing & Confidence (24 frames)
- II — Yoga, Stretch & Movement (42 frames)
- III — The Hammock Series (55 frames)
- IV — Reclining & Lounging (48 frames)
- V — Sitting Poses (76 frames)
- VI — Kneeling & Ground Poses (63 frames)
- VII — Railing, Leaning & Architecture (57 frames)
- VIII — Back, Profile & The Turned Away (16 frames)
- IX — Water & The Pool's Edge (14 frames)
Each chapter opens with directing notes — the exact verbal cues that turn a stiff pose into a published one.
Designed like a magazine, built like a workbook
Layouts vary across the book — full-bleed hero pages, polaroid plates on cream paper, editorial spreads, split black-and-cream pages. Photos are presented uncropped at the size the pose deserves: nothing is reduced to a thumbnail.
