If you’re a photographer venturing into nude glamour photography, you’re going to need to learn two things: how to take great shots in low light and how to allay your subject’s fears and insecurities during the shoot so that she will look comfortable and relaxed in her photos.
This article will give some tips for boudoir photographers on how to make your nude glamour photography subjects come alive in your photos.
Many women book a boudoir photo session in order to give the photos to their husbands or boyfriends. Other women have the photos taken for themselves: their hair and makeup will be done to perfection and the lighting and poses will be flattering to their face and figure. It’s a wonderful celebration of their gorgeous female form.
Still, most women will be very nervous. Most people are nervous when they sit for any type of formal portrait, yet a nude glamour photography session ups the anxiety considerably since your subject will be posing in a vulnerable state before a stranger.
To help your boudoir photo subject relax, ask her to bring her favorite music to your studio and play it during your shoot. You also should ask her to bring several of her favorite lingerie items or outfits in which she feels sexy or beautiful so that she can wear different items of clothing for different shots. Remember that subjects in a nude glamour photography session may not actually be completely nude. Experienced boudoir photographers know that their work is not about nudity so much as about romance and sensuality. Some of the sexiest of boudoir photos have their subjects wearing a robe or sheer wrap with just a hint of cleavage appearing as the robe skirts the woman’s curves.
As you take the photos, talk to your subject. Keep the conversation light but chatty, lively and fun. Be sure to make the conversation about her: tell your subject how well she’s doing, how lovely you believe the photos will turn out. Recommend poses, but ask her to think of some herself and praise her choices. Boudoir photographers know that talking while also concentrating on taking great photos is not easy but this skill comes with practice. You’ll also see that your subjects lose their nervousness and start to come alive before your camera.
Work with your subject during her session. Show her samples of what you believe to be her best shots; this should encourage her and help her appear even more sensual. Try to put yourself in her shoes and realize that being half-dressed and sitting, standing or lying in awkward poses is trying. Remember that she more than likely is not a professional model and be patient.
