Boudoir Photoshoot (NSFW)

[Derrel]

Boudoir and softcore porn are not really the same thing. In Boudoir photography styling of hair and clothing and accessories is very important , while in porn, not so much emphasis is placed on styling.

So...porn makes money because of its professional photographic quality and artistic value?

And here I was, all these years thinking it was about sex.

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.

First, thanks for update the thread. And your wife/model is lovely. And I like all 3 photos. Nice poses on her part, less distracting background stuff. I think the third shot would look especially good cropped from the waist up.

go look over at photo.net photo section, they have categories, for plain nudes, and fashion and glamour photography.

A lot of the same photos are in each of the 3 categories. NO difference

I don't think the pictures in the links looked like they were done professionally by a portrait photographer; the quality looked more like they were taken by just some person with a camera. They didn't look like the standard a portrait photographer would be able to do.

The quality on photo.net is inconsistent at best; some look pretty good and some aren't that well done. Portrait/professional photographers would probably not use that site as examples of good quality work.

If I call myself a car, would I be a Volkswagen or a Chevrolet? How people self identify their photographic work does not make it belong in whatever categories they think it is. You showed us some links to some soft core p*** site, all in the effort to make your point about messed up blankets. I do not think the consumers of the p*** give a rat's ass about the blankets, but are instead looking at something entirely different.

Well, yeah.....

C'mon Derrel, don't be so modest, you'd be a Cadillac.

Thought you were one of the crowd that said a professional photographer was a person who earned their living by taking photographs. And its ironic that when the point I made about PROFESSIONAL photographers using rumpled up sheets and blankets in photos,

and your like totally against that PERIOD..

that you decide that they are not professional because of the content they shoot, nor are they worth considering as actual professionals because they make money by taking pictures of naked people.
And ironically BOUDOIR is nothing but NAKED PEOPLE... gasp.... and PROFESSIONAL photographers take pictures of naked people..... We have that one guy on here who makes a living as a professional photographer. And most of his nude photo shoots are of naked dudes... so if you don't like pictures of naked dudes... then does that make HIM a NON PROFESSIONAL?

https://www.saatchiart.com/photography/ a massive online photo print store used by actual professional photographers. Sure some seem crazy to charge 9,000 for a 20x20 print of a naked woman sitting on a rock.. but its ART and its NUDE..

But ..... you linked us to some site selling memberships to euro-porn...

Nah he's more the classic 56 Chevy, a little heavy on the lines but still can move when the need arises.

Time to give it a rest.
