I'm looking for tasteful and simple photos. Some of the boudoir photos I've seen come across as cheap and tacky. My cousin is very confident and comfortable so I'm just curious about what time of day and where in the house I should photograph. I understand about the out of focus and I was wondering if my 35 mm portrait lens would be a good start. I also have the kit lens and the telephoto, both of which probably won't be great for the shoot. I have a SB600 flash but that's it. I guess I'll have to work with what I have!

Any lens of any focal length can be used for portraits, however each will give you a different result. To avoid the 'big nose' look with a 35mm lens you have to get a bit farther away which is difficult in a small room and being farther away results in a less intimate portrait but can be used to add interesting elements of the surroundings into the image.

If you both have the time, do a 'test run' of the session and poses you want to try but with her clothes on. Post one or two examples here and ask for help with some key issues you are not happy with. The more specific you question is - the more specific and helpful the answer is.

Take pictures of the hot cousin. Please.






p!nK

Come on pink, don't be so crass. Phrase it like a grownup, okay??? Like this:

Won't you please take pictures of your lovely cousin, and post them for us all to peruse and to C&C lovingly,and at great length, with the highest of artistic intentions?

I didn't even know I had artistic intentions.....good to know. :mrgreen:

Wow... TPF. Who knew.

Well, it's not like the OP gave us anything more than 'the entire contents of the internet' to work with for suggestions...

You asked for suggestions and then gave a link to an entire google search of boudoir photography and talk of a "hot cousin".

What did you expect? :er:

If you want more specific advice, I advise asking a more specific question, and throw in a few details while you're at it. People can't read your mind through the computer screen (well, most of them here can't ) so there's no need for a temper tantrum just because people couldn't give you the answer you wanted because YOU didn't provide any details.

I understand I am quite "new" to this and other members place "passionate" in quotes, however some of the responses on here are quite snotty, rude and just plain tacky.

I did not mean to post the entire contents of the internet and I'll be sure to post more specific questions....on a different forum.

Thanks anyways.

No, you should post more specific, well thought out, pointed questions here.
Don't blame others for having some fun when YOU posted the Google image search.

Lighten up.

Another one chased off..

Looks like she never posted a photo (find all threads started by.. etc)

:neutral:

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

I thought she did. They weren't bad. Lots PP actions, but not bad.
Maybe it was a Flickr link?

Was a Flickr link... and her stuff was pretty good.

Only sixteen days and already leaving, cheesed off? Seems kind of like a "I'll take my ball and go play somewhere else!" attitude. Internet forums each have their own pace, personalities, and protocols. Honestly, your lack of verbal communication skills has been your own worst enemy here. And seriously, your inability to understand that this is a MOSTLY male-populated forum, and to understand how people are/were relating to you is kind of unfortunate. This is like a local pub or tavern...this is not a girls' sorority...and you're apparently a 35 year-old woman, yet your blog photos of yourself show you dressed like a teenager...and you're acting kind of like one too in the way you're communicating with a whole group of diverse people, many of whom know one another, but do not know squat about you.


I hate to be harsh...I'm just being frank and honest with you. Like Bitter Jeweler wrote, "lighten up". And as he also wrote, "you should post more specific, well thought out, pointed questions here." That's what I mean by your verbal communications skills lacking for successful forum communication...it's a two-way street. It requires at least a little bit of effort on your part; throwing out 200 thumbnails and asking for "ideas" is not really going to get what you were after.

Sorry, but, again...life's a multi-lane street with lots of cars on it...you've been here 16 days and this is the second time where your brief, unclear,vague questions/posts have led you to disappointment and misunderstanding...if you wish to leave, by all means, do so. Adieu. If you wish to stay, welcome.
