Art Models 2: Life Nude Photos for the Visual Arts (Art Models series) (No. 2)
Without doubt it's the best visual reference available for those of us who can't afford to pay models. There's a good selection of body types,male and female, and they can be rotated and enlarged with excellent resolution.There is a good selection of poses with excellent lighting too . I've been doing artwork since I was a child and this has proved to be a valuable tool for the artistic study of human anatomy. Buy it, you can't go wrong on this one.

Best of Art Model series, but still sorely lacking
Although this is the best of the Art Model series books because the models' bodies are not obscured by the annoying, puzzling, questionable lighting and "artful photography" of other books in the series, it is still sorely lacking in natural poses, natural action, and varied body types. The CD that allows for 360 degree views of every pose would be a lot more useful if those poses were not so static, "classical", and stiff. This is not the fault of the models but of the publishers and photographers who produce the series.
Art Models 2 Photo Book
This is an excellent book for art students, photographers and other artists interested in studying the huamn form. The book is organized by model. Several classic art nude poses are illustrated from different angles. The book also includes a CD with many photos from the book available for closer review. I recommend this book for all artists and photographers. Cheers!
Wow! Better than the first one
This second volume in the series is even better than the first, better models(with better muscle definition) and the concept of posing them as classical art pieces is a great touch. I got this version, the hardcover with the cd-rom and is and innvaluable tool for the classical trained artist and art student. No machine is better designed and refined than the human body and this book is good evidence of it.
Art Models 2
I reccomend this book for anyone interested in figure study and photography due to the wide array of model and body types. This book has very powerful poses. These models have a chemistry and rapport with being photographed that makes their posing look very natural. The models are various and there is no one body type to get tired of seeing.
