Humour And Creating Old Fashion Pin Up. Montreal Boudoir Potographer

A little bit humor did not kill anyone. Make sure that your subject is in agreement. And if you will share any of the results with the general public, have the full signed rights.

I will conclude sharing some of the results from my lingerie, glamour make over boudoir session with lovely Ronda.

Various moods, image styles and image editing adventures of some of the photos were shot in a period of two hours. All in my Montreal photo studio.

The background shot here was captured by me in New York. Ronda was digitally dropped in later on via Photoshop.

From that same day glamour make over boudoir photo shoot with the same subject which lasted about 2 hours in my studio.

Creating old fashion glam... Editing is the  other important half part of creative process to achieve timeless sensual portraits.

At Her Boudoir Parlour. Montreal Glamour Boudoir Photo Studio

Over the past two blog posts I have been sharing some of my glamour make-over/ boudoir image results with the same subject during the same session. You can see the diversity in all of them. They were all shot in my studio. In other words, the styling and final editing that makes the variety in the images.

When I say to any of my clients that I will offer (lets say 12 shots) I mean 12 different top artistic shots... All edited, corrections made, ready to go. Some of them try to configure why only 12? Not 100's of shots. They only get to understand my system of thinking when they experience the session and see the actual results.

Quality versus quantity has been my motto for all my life.

The trick is all about creative studio lighting and styling. Your empty 4 walls can become something else when you shoot boudoir.

Photographing beauty and boudoir is beyond shooting a bra and panty catalog session.

You can create moments, with good direction, styling & accessories and smart photographic angle choices, it then can become a timeless romantic image. An art on a wall. Instead of a hidden print in a drawer, or  on a computer Cd.

Ronda, is now an expecting mother. I am looking forward seeing her again soon. She is a beautiful woman inside out.

At The Boy's Club... Montreal Family Portrait Studio, Getting Inspired by Stories

Few years ago a mother and daughter visited my studio.

The daughter had brought a stuffed toy elephant, beaten up, well used. It used to be his father's back in England. The parents were divorced. It was her favorite toy, she wanted to be photographed by it.

During the lunch hour, while we shared some pizza, the conversation was about the boy's world. How us girls had to be strong in a men's world. etc etc...

The conversation inspired me...

Mixing Photos.. Creating HDR Collages ... Montreal Fashion Photographer

I photographed last year Genvieve in a studio setting with the two beautiful dogs. The camera was Panasonic Lumix GH2.

Later on during the year, I was judging a photography competition. I took another photographer friend along with me. After the judging process, we strolled a bit in the beautiful grounds of the place. The sun was setting. I took out my Samsung Galaxy SII (cell phone) out of my pocket, opened the HDR application, voila I snapped the 3 HDR shots, hand held. If you have difficulty believing me, I have a witness. :)

A month later, I sat down on my computer, opened the Photoshop CS6, the rest is what you see below.

Cell phones have come a long way. And yes, who says you can't mix images originating from various different cameras.

One door frame, one designer hat and one lady...

How one edits their images is a personal choice. It happens between the photographer and their clients.

It is as simple is as that.

Easter Is Here. Bunnies Are Happy!

Memoires From A Montreal Photography Workshop

 

It was a hot July day in 2011. Nine of us gathered at an empty mansion. We were all photographers. I hired two models. In the morning we photographed beautiful Ronda. In the afternoon the theme I chose to photograph was the 50's... Both girls Ronda and Jayne posed for us.

Everyone was allowed to shoot behind the scenes while each photographer had the opportunity to direct the models. We all worked with studio strobes and natural light.

My results, voila... It brings back beautiful memories.
