Glamour images can be created with any client, regardless of their level of confidence in exposing their nudity to the photographic lens. Glamor photography doesn't just include nude images: even if they include clothing, the images can be sexy. The glamor genre has made great strides and now even makeup can easily be included in photography without any problems. Always bring clothes to change the style of the images and your personal make-up to vary the look, if you don't feel like booking a professional make-up service.
Digital image processing allows you to focus attention where you want it most. While I often crop images on the computer, in some images I try to draw the viewer's attention to the hair and face of the models, in others I focus on the most expressive parts of the body... With the flash I usually illuminate the shadows of the face and, if necessary , I add reflections to the eyes by hand.
I'll tell you something about how I like to photograph my models. If you accept our professionalism, you will not regret it.
Curves in Glamor photography
There is no denying the charm of the S-curve along the entire length of the body of the model shown in the image. The curves exude femininity, sex appeal and a particular playful exuberance in an image that shows off all its feminine charms. I make my models lie in a certain position, and the poses refine themselves, as if by magic: my contribution in directing the model is always a combination of her desires and personal aptitudes.
The models
I've been in this industry for twenty-five years and have photographed countless models. Most clients come from referrals from past clients. Once you have proven yourself as a respectable professional, your business goes on its own. The models quickly learn to melt in front of the camera. Everyone is capable of taking magnificent shots, and they do not seem in any way intimidated by the camera, except after an initial moment of confusion, overcome in a few minutes in most cases.
Dynamic lines
The use of clothes is essential in glamor photography. Showy transparent skirts, total nudity or tight and flirty dresses. Better to darken the fabric in the pelvic area to hide a little and create a sense of tension. Clothes create movement, but must not hide the sensuality of the body. Choose carefully the clothes you wear to photograph, but above all, choose something you know you will feel perfectly comfortable in.
The backgrounds and poses
I love the contrast of a dark or light background against the emergence of a colorful body on the walls. I like to show everything I can if the subject represents the only lines present in the image. The power released by the body must be able to appear in all its splendor.
If furnishing objects are available, as in our second study, I like that the context enters into communication with the represented subject.
Even a single stool and some simple underwear is enough to create memorable images: remove the top part of the underwear (or an open, unbuttoned shirt if you are a man) and create an image that implies complete nudity, evoking a sensation between the modest and slightly flirtatious. I will direct your arms to create a sense of movement in the image and playfully obscure most of her breasts, at least in the first few images. Raise your hips a little to accentuate your waistline and the curve of your hips.
The slight tilt of the head and the hair pulled towards the left shoulder also add interest to the image. For me, having the hair piled up on one side allows it to open up the model's face. If you have short hair (but it almost never happens!), covering part of your face with your hands creates the same opening you are looking for.
Meshes create a texture that is added to the image, and must match the background of the image in harmony. The crossed arms direct the viewer's gaze to the face and ensure winking modesty. I like to add sparkling reflections on the hair using headlights to draw attention to the upper part of the body and force the viewer to take a particular path through the image.
Classic Elegance
It happens to photograph models in luxury hotels with quality furnishings and indoor swimming pools. In these cases the space is used intensively. I don't like looking for vulgarity in these environments. To use them properly you need appropriate clothes and great class. There is no point in spending money on a phenomenal setting if you give up making the most of your image. Black bra and panties are essential as the darker color always creates a better contrast with skin tones and furniture. Add a little lace, dare, without ever giving up your comfort. Look for the right balance between the explosion of your sensuality and the serenity to portray yourself adequately.
Outdoor photos
Swings, benches, normal trees and gardens, wicker armchairs or porches: a garden, a small park, or simple buildings are enough to have the perfect setting for outdoor photos. Outdoor underwear has a sure effect of contrast between the intimacy of the subject and the openness of the surrounding world. Of course, it can't be done everywhere and in any season, it also depends on your needs...
If you add a white or colored scarf over your head, winking at the season with a garment makes the shot a challenge of sensuality to nature: the true dominion of beauty over man.
Flash outdoors is almost always essential. While the warmth or coolness of the ambient color, deep blue sky, and greenery add interest to the image, sometimes I still want to take the image into Photoshop and add my favorite digital effects.
S-curves
The strong S-curve that some models' hips make possible draws the viewer's eye from the tilt of her head across her torso, hip and upper legs, resulting in an enchanting composition. If the hips are not naturally available, they can be added with a little practice in Photoshop! Our photoshop has the experience of 20 years of work, I know what you are looking for: it expands here and there, deflates elsewhere, smoothes the skin and so on to achieve a perfect image.
When composing an image, it is important to ensure that the lines in the image do not distract the viewer from the subject. Instead, we want to make sure the lines cross the body in a flattering way. Never allow horizon lines to cross your subject's face or neck, for example. The highlights on the skin draw attention to her curves and emphasize her shape.
Ripped jeans and an open leather jacket are the perfect photos for an aggressive calendar; the curves will add aggression to the purpose.
A model doesn't need to be naked to create a sexy image. Much depends on his attitude when he arrives for his session. If you can ensure his comfort and provide positive feedback, great images will result. The hue of a black and white image can create a different, perhaps more artistic, mood in a glamor photograph.
While attending photography school, I learned how to convert digital images from color to black and white and how to tone images in Photoshop. I can make any filter and add backgrounds as you like. Couple calendars went out of fashion for a few years, but even now some return to create special images: it's a memory in the search for beauty.
Distracting elements
Cropping the image with Photoshop greatly simplified the creation of the image composition. If something near the face distracts the viewer from the eyes, just cut the unwanted part and that's it, the dish of sensuality is provided in all its unity. Before taking a shot, it pays to survey the scene to make sure there are no distracting elements. While many post-capture corrections can be made in Photoshop, the process can take a lot more than your attention can spare.
We will adapt the images to your every need: we offer neutral backgrounds that can be easily replaced by refined special effects, or more or less elaborate furnishings depending on the circumstances and packages requested.
