Self boudoir shoot? Possible?

[RauschPhotography]

Now if only I could find the files... :shock:

I've got copies if you can't find them

But really, I wish I could find them. :lmao: Think I got rid of them when I broke up with one of my exes.. Perhaps it's time to do some new shots, myself.

Sooo...

This may sound like a really stupid question..But is it possible to do a self boudoir photoshoot?

Last year, when my husband deployed, I got boudoir pictures done for him. I was prego at the time, so they weren't too sexy.

Well, he's deploying this coming Monday, and I was going to try to do a shoot myself..So I could maybe send him some.

Anybody done this before? I don't just want some retarded point and shoot type pictures..

I'm sure it's doable, but god, it's going to take FOREVER!

Anything's *possible*...but I can't even imagine how difficult it would be. One of the big things about Boudoir is striking the perfect poses. Having to nail the focus and still get the good poses would be near impossible...it would take forever.

I'd recommend finding another forum member or someone you know near San Diego and seeing if they'd offer some help. I can almost guarantee that someone on the forums would offer to help if they knew why you were doing it. Even if you just have them snap the actual shots and you do the PP later.

Can't really offer much help besides that...being on the other side of the country makes it difficult to actually *help* you.

Or get together with some other wives of servicemen and do shots of them as well. That way, you have someone to shoot you, and you get the practice shooting them etc.

Best idea yet That way the other husbands will get their own present, too

Great idea!

Yeah, but I'm weird about other non-photographer's touching my camera..That thing was expensive, and I would KILL if they dropped it. But I do have a nice remote that focuses and does consecutive shots, so I guess I could just try.

If you need a private CC, let me know mrs. LOL Just kidding with you.

That's a much better plan than letting Jody take the pics... :thumbup:

My wife probably wouldn't be happy about me offering to help you, though I am close enough to make it possible.

How am I ever going to break into the world of boudoir?

 

[mrshaleyberg]

ha ha yeah.........I doubt that'll happen. Just sayin! We'll see what happens. I'm not going to be doing anything for at least another week though, because I'm in the middle of moving across the country.

 

[mrshaleyberg]

I've never had a male photographer. I don't know how comfortable I'd be. It'd have to be a female. And my husband would **** if he knew another man was taking nudes of me. ha ha

 

[phiya]

On a more serious note, I took my first self portrait last night, and boy was it a PITA! Especially if you don't have enough light to reliably auto focus. It took me probably an hour to get a shot that I was decently happy with. But then again, I don't have live view either.

Would it help if I brought my wife? :lmao:
