AOP part 23: 8 Compositional Failures

This is a tight profile shot from the same space. There are several failure points on this shot. Not sharp enough: at f4 I have not quite nailed the focus and it is just slightly unsharp around the eye.

How To Photograph Boudoir (Video Download)

Learn about the hottest trend in photography today

 

This 2 hour 30 minute video program is for professionals and hobbyists alike who want to shoot boudoir images.

 A guide to lighting, posing and styling boudoir photography

 

This video is for professionals and amateurs alike who want to shoot boudoir images. You may already be shooting this style of work, in which case this video will give you a lot of hints and tricks for developing your skills as well as broad inspiration too.

 

I will show you how to work with sitters and put them at their ease. You will learn how to use a very small space very effectively. I will show you examples of my best-selling shots from the studio that you can simply re-create for your clients or sitters.

 

I will talk about the business of boudoir, but this is principally a video about photography and how to get the best from inexperienced subjects. Together you will create images that both of you are very happy with.

AOP part 22: 9 Compositional Elements

This shot gives me a great example to talk about a number of compositional elements in one image. Colour scheme: the pale blue background pushes the warmer tones of skin forward with clear separation of subject to background.
