Digital Boudoir Photography : A Step-by-step Guide to ... - Ken Gilbert

Turn to Enhance Cleavage Turn her so that the
light skims across her chest to form the shadow that
shows cleavage. This image is marred by seeing the
photographer’s shadow, a detail that you need to
watch for.
Hand Placement Having her unbutton the front
of her jeans and move her hands flatters her tummy
better, provides a more pleasing position of her
hands, and is sexier overall.
Move to Avoid Shadow Moving slightly to the
model’s side means the photographer’s shadow does
not show. Still, the harsh shadow on Joanna’s face is
not as flattering as it could be.
Back to the Light Putting Joanna’s back to the
light is another nice way to pose her in bright light.
The light on her hair and shoulders separates her
from the background and gives her a slight glow. An
on-camera flash is used to keep her face from being
too dark.

Turn Her Face into the Light This image is an
improvement on the previous one by simply having
her turn her face into the light, but keeping her body
and particularly her chest at an angle to it.
Adjust Hands The final thing to do is to adjust
her hand position so it is more attractive and a bit
sexier than in the previous figure.
