Boudoir portraits5/20/2023 I don’t just praise physical appearance, but also the model’s willingness to cooperate, poses, facial expressions, and so on. Every woman is beautiful in her own way and it’s our job to discover and showcase this beauty. When setting up the photoshoot, I also offer the option to have the model bring someone with, such as a friend or family member that will help her feel relaxed and encourage her when needed.ĭuring the shoot itself, I have found that praising the model works best. We all have our insecurities, something that we don’t love about our body or something we are self-conscious about… It’s important to assure your model that you’ll find the right poses that will flatter her body type and, if needed, deal with imperfections using post-processing. I usually ask for ideas about what she expect from the photoshoot, what she likes, what she doesn’t like, and what she’s most self-conscious about. If my model is not driving, in addition to coffee or water, I offer a glass of prosecco to help her loosen up. We do this by chatting with her beforehand, during the makeup session, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. To get professional-looking boudoir photos, the most important thing is that the model feels at ease. There are several books and workshops dedicated to this topic that are good to look through when getting started. And believe me, it’s hard to go without retouching at least some cellulite, spider veins, skin imperfections, scars, or slimming certain areas. Zoner Photo Studio X offers several retouching tools. Īll of my retouching is done in Zoner Photo Studio X. Every photographer should be able to handle at least some basic retouching. An equally important part of boudoir photography is post-processing. This allowed me to practice posing different body types as well as working with light. I asked a few of my girlfriends to join me for a “girls’ day” and arranged for professional makeup and set up the room for our photoshoot. If you are just started out with boudoir photography, it’s a good idea to do a dry run of everything first.
