Glamour Photography

Melvin76

Anyone ever shot any glamour photography? Doing my first shot in Feb. Any tips or advise?

City-Exile

Is this "glamour"?



If your model is good, she'll have her own ideas about what poses work.
I tried to avoid the cliche type shots.
Talk to the model, tell her what you're trying to achieve.
Bring a tripod & try different lighting.
Even though I had the use of a tripod, I hand held all my shots.

Thats not glamour


tho it is nice


from a technical aspect of course

TelePaul

What is glamour exactly?

AARRRGH

I think it's a nice way of saying topless.

I always thought topless was a great way of saying topless.

it might not be glamour, but it's surely getting the job done.

Tip No. 1: Don't get a stiffy. Very unprofssional.

So that's why I'm banned for life from that studio.. I'll have to bring more duct tape the next time.

Interesting thread... I too would be interested in seeing some of these types of shots

rymus

actually.. if we're to be serious for about 40 seconds.. What would it all cost to get the model and the studio to *ahem* fire off a few?

That was about 40 secs, wasn't it?

Bout 35 I reckon. We couldn't bring CM, it'd destroy his innocence.

rymus

I'm all for the destruction of innocence. When can we pencil in a session for?

I'm sorry, My what?

Oh that thing I lost when I was ~10? Riiiiiiight..

Sorry for the off topic-ness

Anyone got some good glam pics to show plz? I'd like to see examples and see if I want to shoot..

Borderfox

Wikpedia says "Glamour photography is the photographing of a model with the emphasis on the subject. Photographers use a combination of cosmetics, lighting and airbrushing techniques to produce the most physically appealing image of the model possible" nothing about nude or boobs!! heres my contribution and I think its very tasteful

Sadly, I've become somewhat desensitised to the subtle beauty that is the female form, and at a young age too. But would it be cool if she smacked me around a bit while ya'll took some photos? Thanks in advance.

lol quiet a strange thread
But good at the same time
would they let a bunch of you into a studio at the same time

Actually... at Charleville we all got to shoot elven at once.. which was a bit of a new experience for me, I must say.. Al seemed well used to it, very organised and commanding Sebzy about But, It was good in a sense that everyone's perspective on it, and what they got out of it was different. When I was shooting her, she was focused on Al doing his shot, and there wasnt really as much of a posed element to it.


Boards Photography Studio Shoot?

To re-use a quote from Peoples Photography

"Oh, I hate it when that happens"

Quality...

Borderfox

we have done this before, we went to Randalstown to a studio there. Paulw, myself and City-Exile were there last weekend.

Thirdfox

Practise with the girlfriend... so nope not posting any pictures for C&C here

City-Exile

Look at the shot taken by Borderfox.
He fired one off while I had her distracted.

I hardly think this is the time or place for such talk. Shame on you!

Borderfox

excellent, I fired off a broadside...

Fajitas here.

I don't think I've ever done a glamour shoot in my life, and I don't think Elven ever posed for a glamour shoot. If you think that was glamour photography, there's a lot out there for you to learn.

rymus

phew.. thought I'd missed a truly momentous event in boards history there..

Account sharing? Shame!

Nah I never said it was, I just said it was a new experience and was a bunch of us all shooting one person - so if we were to do a glamour studio one, different peoples shots might bring new/different/more natural views on it or some such.. I make sense in my head!!

Fenster

Children, please!

I've always associated glam photography with bright lighting, high contrast and a lot of post processing..

I've always associated it with publications such as Nuts & Zoo.

This was your face when you read Fajelven's comment ->

Wait till Elven sees that! You're gonna get a stern warning.

Nice shot borderfox One thing though, I think with the amount of dark eye makeup she has on, a brightly coloured curtain (orange perhaps) would have been better than the white or else white curtain with no/nude eye makeup and a paler lipstick. Just my humble opinion

Reminded me of this

OP if i remember correctly you'll need High Key lighting and a spft box and possibly a silver or white reflector to reflect the light back up to illiminate any harsh/dark shadows.

Borderfox

The settings for the shot are spot meter off the model and shot with all the studio lights going off in the background and the resulting spot meter made the shot blend in a lot better, really only set it by accident. Make up wouldnt be too hard to change though. Thanks Chunky Monkey

PPEEERRRVVVEEERRTTTTT!

Fionn

very nice girl & pose

good photograph

can I have a go at glamming it up?

Fionn

ok
i had a go at your model (so to speak) i know i should have been at work etc. :rolleyes:

but anyway it's what my preception of Glamour is, if it's ok with BF and CE i can post it up.

Borderfox

work away

Fionn

cool
thanks!

i put it into an animation slide (allow 5 seconds or so) - but the rendering sort of had a little undesireable effect, anyway it shows what i was aiming for!!
i think the glamour shot is a soft, bright and smooth over exagerated photograph, sometimes heavy grain will have a good effect too

Borderfox

I see what you mean Fionn...

City-Exile

Interesting, Fionn.
I wasn't going for glam, when I took that shot.
This was the type of thing I set out to capture.

Fionn

ah yeah!!
much more natural and pleasing to the eye (imo) anyway

well done i like it.

I wouldn't be a big fan of the glamour shot - they tend to lack something, originality or whatever!
