Sexy Boudoir Photography and Model Portfolios

So many fun shoots this week I thought I would share two of them. The first was a photo shoot with model Oksana who need commercial photographs for her modeling agency. We shot a wide variety of sets both in the studio and on location. Here are a few of shots created for her modeling portfolio.

Another great shoot was a boudoir photography session in an amazing hotel. The idea was to create sexy photographs that appeared as if the light was streaming in thru the window. With a few photographic and lighting tricks, this image was created and she agreed to let it be shown in the blog.

It is going to get busy when the holidays arrive, so book early and save.

Great Week, Published and more

This week my big news is I have another cover on the newsstands. I photographed Elle in a very sexy and intimate set of photographs for College Gentleman magazine. The shoot was all about glamour and teasing, never showing too much. Have to leave something to the imagination.

Elle didn’t even complain when we ran out of hot water – LOL. What a trooper she was.

This week I also taught several photography classes. I enjoy working with other photographers to help them get better at the art.

Next week is going to be full of surprises.

Shower time

Category : boudoir glamour photography Portraits

One of the favorite set-ups for sexy boudoir photography is a bathtub or a shower. Some bubbles and wet skin just make for a very intimate photograph, like you are intruding into her life. I especially love a shower which is primarily glass – like these glass world shower doors – because it allows the light to flow and also gives you some really fun shots as she can do things like lean against the glass, for example. In fact, some of these images can be even more amorous when taken inside the best electric showers listed here, as this can add to a heightened sense of modernity and sophistication.

This is especially effective when she is not looking into the camera, as if she is an aware. Of the reality of having flashes and my female assistant helping adjust this and that makes this just a fantasy, and fantasy is what great boudoir is all about!

I take this idea one step further and have used it for my maternity photography clients. It is not to be sexy, but to create a very intimate photograph. It sets a mood of a quiet time when the mom to be is relaxing, enjoying some time to herself.

I like to give my clients something different, so every shoot may have it’s standards, but I always like to shooting something I haven’t done before. This is how the shower/bath became one of my maternity classics. Of course it helps that I have a bathtub set in my studio.

Setting the Mood

Category : boudoir glamour photography Portraits

This week as I was reviewing some of my boudoir photography I started thinking about how critical mood is to these photographs. This photo for example would look very different if the tones were not subdued.

These soft colors help to set the mood and bring the mind to another place.

As I retouch the photographs I use to create the custom designed boudoir albums and calendars, I work to make each one unique. My work is not about assembly line productions, it is creating the prefect memory, telling your story, creating your fantasy.

These design rules apply to all areas of my work. Maternity photography is another great place for setting moods and telling stories. Capturing the joy and happiness of your pregnancy in your photographs takes planning. I tend to have a picture in my head of what a final photograph will look like before I even take the shot.

This week will be busy with two casting calls and teaching an Introduction to Photography class.

Photographs preserve memories, so grab your camera and take a picture of your friends and family this week. Many years from now you’ll be glad you did.

Pin-up Dolls

Category : boudoir glamour photography Pin-up Portraits

One of the most fun I had this week was shooting the Phoenix Pin-up Dolls. The group came to see me because they like the retro styling I give to my pin-up photography. Here is a quick shot of the entire group.

As you can see I had blast shooting this group of pin-up ladies. This next photograph is an example of the styling that I give my pin-up work.

As you can see, I convert the image from a photograph to a graphic with a retro styling. It adds some fun to the image, and pin-up is all about fun. Of course being a bit sexy is part of it too, but it must be very tasteful to be true to form.

Tasteful images are also what makes great boudoir photography too. Show too much and the image loses it sexiness. Hinting is key, and that is where my experience comes creating these sexy intimate photos becomes important.

Next week has a few surprises coming. With my clients permission, you might just see something very unexpected from me.

Fun in a sauna

Category : boudoir glamour

Another great week here at Orcatek. One of my favorite shots I found while reviewing some of my boudoir photographs was this one taken in a sauna. The sauna made for a great location to create a sexy and intimate photograph to create some interesting variety.

Shooting outside the studio with my boudoir clients can be a great deal of fun. It presents a ton of opportunities to make the images very personal.

Now that the weather is going to cool down soon, I will be doing more work outdoors again. Headshots and portraits often look great when shot outdoors.

Self-portrait

Tags : B&W headshots phoenix photographers photography Photos Pictures Portraits Scottsdale tempe

Category : headshots Portraits

Creating a self-portrait is a learning experience for a photographer. There are two key things I was reminded about making this portrait.

First, it is very important that I make sure that I make my clients feel comfortable. Having no one to interact with made it hard for me to relax for the camera. Once you relax, your photographs can begin to show the real you. Music is a great way to set the mood for boudoir and modeling clients, so I tell them to bring their own if they would like. And of course a steady stream of conversation. It doesn’t really matter what you talk about, just something to keep the focus away from posing for the camera.

The second thing I learned was how hard it is to choose a photograph. I went through and selected my ideas and then had my family make their selections. It was interesting to see that they picked different photographs from me. In fact they didn’t really care for my favorite. It showed me how difficult it is for my clients to make decisions, and why they sometimes don’t choose the photos that I believe are some of the best.

Now I have developed some techniques in the studio for choosing the photos. I have had several clients tell me how much easier it makes the choices. Hopefully I will be able to find a way to put this process on-line for my clients.

Every photographer should create a self-portrait every once in a while. It helps to put things back in focus. (yes, cheesy photography pun.)

Windows and Boudoir

Category : boudoir glamour Portraits

Whenever I do boudoir photography on location, I always hope for a big window in one of the rooms. The light coming through that window is so often just perfect for boudoir. Sure it may take a few tricks to get it to behave just right, but the end results are amazing.

For the studio I have just acquired a new prop that will be perfect for boudoir photography sessions. I will also be using it for pin-up and will give it a try with some maternity. What can I say, I love this new prop.

It took a very long time to find one I liked, but it’s finally here!

Another very busy week here at Orcatek Photography! Shot several amazing women in boudoir and glamour photography sessions. There are going to be some very happy guys out there soon!

And of course there was more classic pin-up photography. This style is becoming very popular and is a lot of fun to shoot.

Of course there were some headshots for some future stars. Fun shoots as they are always so full of personality.

And I also did some fine art nude photography. These images are often requested by my clients as additions to their boudoir photography sessions.

Looking at next week’s schedule it should be another great week with lots of variety.

A week of Variety

Variety is the spice of life so the say and it sure helps keep the creative eye working in photography. I love it when I have to change up my thinking from one shoot to the next. This week, this lucky photographer shot maternity, headshots, boudoir, pin-up, products and even automotive.

Frequently I will have clients come in and wish to combine to photographic needs. Often I will have a boudoir client who also needs to have a headshot done. Boudoir is often also combined with modeling.

By combining a clients needs in to a single photography session, I can give my clients some great value.

Of course one of my favorite parts of my job is when a photographer is needed to shoot an amazing car like this Ferrari Testarossa. This car was on-site for a fashion photography class that was being held at my studio and I took a few minutes to grab photographs of this beauty.

Next week is already jammed packed with a great variety. I can’t wait to see what else is on the horizon.
