Questions on Posing Portraits...

[sharpshootr987]

I was wondering were i could get some information on how to pose people for portraits, like rules of composition. Such as how to angle people and things along that subject. Are their any good online resources to help me with this?

I don't know of any online resources, but there are lots of books at the bookstore.

Have a look here: http://www.dg28.com/technique.html

You will find info on the technical apsects of lighting the portrait as well - if you look through each of the examples, you will see a wide variety of posing techniques.
