I want to take photos like pic related, spanning the range from classy, shoulders up portraits, to explicit nudes. I want to do it all. I need help learning how to pose my model's body and especially her face.

One of the best ways to learn is to look at great photos and try to emulate their style. Once I can do that, then I can branch off and find my own original style. But for starters, I need a collection of photographers who do good work, and a collection of good shots to try to copy.

So, please post away.
