New Katlyn Sessions

2024-10-14

Dark Lighting, Dramatic Poses

Just finished editing photos from a photoshoot done in 2022 (yeah, sometimes it takes a while) with the model Katlyn. She tends to the more twisty-turny poses but there are a few natural, relaxed ones as well.

You can see them under Features->Newest Poses or in the Pose Tool.

New Magnolia Sessions

2024-09-25

Magnolia Session Downloads now available.

What do you think of our new model, Magnolia? That's not a rhetorical question. We were thinking of working with her again on a larger project and would really like to know what you think, use the Contact form to let us know.

The poses by her that you'll find at PoseSpace are almost entirely her ideas—including the expressions, emoting, and dramatic postures.

She has 69 pose sets available in the pose Tool and we have already made Sessions for her (linked below).

About Live Model Books

Live Model Books serves artists, illustrators, and anyone who needs a human figure reference with high-quality full-color photos of the figure in 360-degree rotation. Our books, disks, and downloads make it easy for artists to get just the pose they want, exactly when they want it and at an affordable price.

Through our Art Models project, we seek to help people further their understanding of the human form by providing quality reference material that can be studied at length and in close-up detail.

One of the ways we do that is through the use of lighting, studio space and camera settings designed to create images of the human form that comes as close as possible to what you would see if you were standing in the studio with the models. Another is by providing a variety of formats that make the images both affordable and convenient—no matter how you choose to work.

The human figure is a challenging subject. It is a complex form of light and shadow, with subtle variations in color and texture, possessing both complex angles and smooth curves and all interacting in an endless variety of configurations. That is challenging enough but for many people learning the figure is complicated even more by social taboos that make it difficult to find nude art models to study. This fact makes an already challenging subject even more difficult. That is a problem we wish to solve and, as a result, we hope to encourage more and better figurative art.
