Gold ImagingUSA 2021 (PreCon) - The Secrets to Effective Boudoir Posing and Lighting - Lori Poole

There are basic posing rules for portraiture: the S Curve, the C curve, the blade of the hand, pushing the hips away from the camera, and so on. Boudoir photography adds a whole new set of rules. When a client is dressed in lingerie, we cannot rely on savvy wardrobe choices to help flatter problem areas. As boudoir photographers, we must use careful posing and lighting to show our clients that their unique bodies (which may or may not adhere to traditional beauty standards) can be seen as beautiful, sexy, and desirable.

In this class, you’ll learn:

• The common posing mistakes new boudoir photographers make, and how to avoid them.
• My six-step framework for boudoir posing that works.
• Finding your style (whether it’s light and airy or dark and moody). HINT: it’s not just a matter of under- or over-exposure.
• Coaching your client into boudoir poses without awkwardness (for either of you).
• How to think critically to make any body look longer, curvier, and more feminine – instead of just memorizing poses.

If you’re new to boudoir, or you’re looking to add that extra oomph to your boudoir posing and lighting, this class is for you.
