Posing
Posing is a very important part of a boudoir photograph. The key is to pose the
model without making her look, well… posed. Awkward placement of hands
will detract from the image and the woman. In the worst cases, it will make her
look heavy or short or certainly not how she wants to see herself. It will also
reflect poorly on you as a photographer. In the days of using film, each image
cost money to create, so it was important to just photograph the best poses.
Now that digital is being used, it is much less expensive to create a number of
images. Still, it is better to learn about posing that makes the woman look sexy
and alluring and not just hope you will get a “good one.” In the following lessons,
you will see a number of good posing ideas and examples as well as samples
of what not to do.
