The model’s comfort is the most important thing to consider during the digital photography shoot, and you will find the best photos are taken when the model is comfortable and relaxed. It can take some time for this to be happen, so ensure that the shoot is not rushed and allow a couple of hours to get the perfect glamor shots.
As with portrait photography of any kind, the correct lighting is essential. Ensure that the model is not placed under any direct lighting. Not only will the shadows not look flattering, but they will also make it harder to get an evenly exposed photography. Using reflected light will create a softer effect that will avoid casting dark shadows across the model’s face, and is easily done by bouncing the light off of a light surface, either a purpose built reflector or a wall or even a large piece of white card.
The background of the image is also important, as you do not want to include anything that could distract the eyes of the viewer from the subject. A plain colored sheet or canvas works well, and plain black or white backgrounds are popular for the sensual effect they create.
Consider developing a theme for the photo-shoot. Not only can this create a more fun and relaxed atmosphere, it will also provide inspiration for props that could be included in the photographs. Models will prefer shots that they can identify their personality with, so be sure to come up with ideas for the shoot with her. It is also good practice to allow the model to suggest their own poses and as the photographer, give only small suggestions to make them feel more in control of the session.
These tips should allow you to get the best out of boudoir photography. At the end of the day, remember that it is supposed to be fun, so the best tip is to relax and the sexiest photographs should soon follow!
