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.

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.
Art Models 2--not bad at all, but it could be better
I bought this book to use as a reference for my drawing and painting, because I'm often unable to find good visual references for the human body. I really like the format; having a PC/Mac CD-ROM with the book is great. The photography and lighting are well done. I'd like to see more variety in the poses, though, as well as more natural (especially more naturally active) poses. It might also be nice to have greater variation in the body types.
nice reference
This book is full of great reference. But don't do what I did...there are two versions, one that comes with the extra cd of poses, and one without. Double check and make sure you know which one you are ordering, I didn't realize that I ordered the book without the companion disk until it arrived.
