Boudoir...I had my try at it

[Boxhousev]

A few of my friends have asked, so I tried it. Here are some of my favorites, out of all the photos I have taken, these received the most buzz and requests from other friends. I am looking for CC to help improve and posing ideas. Thanks!

Not a bad first attempt at all; of course there's always room for improvement. A few thoughts per req:

1. The skin is just a tad hot on this one. A drop in exposure by 1/3 stop would have nailed it I think. Also, watch things like the little curl of "unattached" hair by her necklace.

2. Don't get it... Yes, she has nice legs, but....

3. This would be nice IF it was just a little wider; the cropped garment image right bothers me, and I'm not really fond of the treatment. It looks like old Kodak Gold developed at a 1hr mall stand using old chemicals.

4. Too little DoF; her whole face should be in focus, and her expression doesn't really say, "Come hither, more like, "Have you finished mowing the lawn yet?"

5. What's the main point of focus supposed to be? I would say it should be her breasts, but again, DoF works agains you. Also, the hotspot just above her ear should have been dealt with.

6. A little more breast and a little more DoF, as well as all of her hair would have helped.

My main thoughts are: Use a smaller aperture for more DoF, watch the details (hair, etc), and make sure the client's expressions match the image.

Just my $00.02 worth - your mileage may vary.

2 may have shown off her shape better if she had slightly bent her knees.

3- I'm searching for something in focus and can't find it

4- too shallow DOF- only her right eye is in focus.

Well, there you go! You seem to have found your niche.

#1 pose not bad, just work on your fundamentals
#2 This pose is best for showing off legs and shoes
#3 pose not good, oof
#4 This pose would be much better if the model was smiling, also some skin smoothing pp
#5 why is she not looking at the camera?
#6 model not looking at camera, also DOF not deep enough


So that's 1 out of 6. Not bad for your first attempt!
