In this book, Michel Lauricella presents both his artistic and systematic methods for drawing the human body—with drawing techniques from the écorché (showing the musculature underneath the skin) to sketches of models in action. In more than 1000 illustrations, the human body is shown from a new perspective—from bone structure to musculature, from anatomical detail to the body in motion. Morpho is a rich, fascinating, and helpful book that can go with you everywhere on your sketching journey.

This is a very interesting and different book for me as a photographer. Reading it is not easy but it is fantastically illustrated.
Then I tried to think of how I can use this knowledge in my photography. Posing………..I finally have a source that will aid in posing models, both male and female, so they look more natural in almost any positioning. So many of the finished portraits I have taken looked awkward and still; not natural and relaxed.
I actually showed the book and certain illustrations to a model for imitation and the results were great.
Take a shot and read this book!
