Boudoir Photoshoot (NSFW)

[DanOstergren]

Did anyone notice that this is a ZOMBIE thread? .... 23rd of July 2018.

Worth resurrecting because the subject is drop dead gorgeous?

If you don't LIKE the thread or the pictures then why are you commenting on the age of the thread just to insult the Original Posters wife?

Wow, do you know how to read?

am I the only one that see the little green emoticon is normally an insult icon since it was created...

Yes, you are. Nobody was insulting you or the OP, so why are you doubling down on this?

I do not think that emoticon is meant to convey any sense of insult. I think that quite possibly you misunderstood granddad's use of the emoticon.

 

[pocketshaver]

no, the sentence with emoticon are meant to be insulting.

Its like saying "yeah your wife is good looking for an ugly woman"

I'm not sure what planet you live on but it obviously has a VERY different culture. The laughing emoticon was for the fact that the thread had been resurrected and people had started responding as if it was a new thread. I've never heard of a rule where sentences with emoticons are intended to be insulting. The fact that the subject is a VERY beautiful woman is indisputable. I think you missed the nuances of the language. Zombie thread means a thread resurrected from the dead and then "drop dead gorgeous" is a phrase to describe someone who is so beautiful that she (or he) would stop the heart of a viewer. Put together they are an expression of mild (groanworthy) humour. You, of course, have the right to interpret it as you see fit but language can be a subtle thing and it's sad that you have failed to grasp the subtleties here.

Wow old thread indeed. I have since done a couple more photos of the wife which I don't think I posted on here. I was suppose to do a shoot with my sister in law, but the night before the shoot, she asked her fiancé to go with her to pick out some clothes. Well he freaked out on her about the shoot. My wife stepped in for a quick 10-15 minutes just to see what might have been possible at our new place. I am happy with them but not thrilled. I think if we would have had more time to try a few more poses and I would have switched around to the window side for some, I would have been happier.

The hair... I seem to always be pointing this out, even if going for a somewhat tousled look it needs to be scrunched/arranged (when the person moves around, so does the hair).

The light that time of day wasn't ideal but not bad. Watch that post (windowframe) and where to put the subject in relation to it, and smooth blankets/comforters/bedcovers, the fabric folds create shadows and contrast.

Personally I can't see past these images of your very lovely wife to find any improvements to suggest so I'm a total failure as a critic.

... And just for the record, my use of emojis does not involve any intent to insult, denigrate or malign.

No worries! I got the joke in the original comment

the light through the window is a little to bright... but it DOES create an excellent contrast for the model. That's half the point for this type of photo isn't it? To maximize and emphasize the models attributes.

Now these links DISPROVE that you need to be afraid of having sheets, blankets, and other assorted fabrics that have wrinkles in them. These things DONT need to be fought. And since I provided links to some photo galleries where the rumpled up bedding and blankets are actually a design element in the photo work,,, by photographers making their entire income, UNLIKE a large number of people posting on photography websites,

the tousled up sheets have been proven to be a good option, ALTHOUGH I will admit that if the light from the window had been reduced by at least half, the valleys in the folds would haven't made the peaks so damn bright to look at.

Havent checked out the links yet but I do agree about the lighting. I bought some sheer curtains which helped but it was a single sheet on two of the three windows. Im going to end up buying two more sets so each of the three windows will have a proper two sheet curtain. I will have to adjust the time of day to shoot as well. The windows face west and I think these were done around 3 or 4pm? Late enough that the top small windows had harsh light coming through landing on the bed side closest to me so we had to try and avoid those squares haha. I think it was a good learning experience for the space though along with the continued input from everyone here.

Those sites linked are promoting videos of women doing sex shows. I wouldn't go by porn sites to figure out what works for boudoir photography.

The website in question does partner content from websites that do nude videos. But the thing is, why do you overlook the fact that PROFESSIONAL photographers who make lots of money doing photographic work, make excellent use of messed up blankets and bedding?

Is it simply because it disproves your comment?
