Boudoir...trying to get started...need help - 08-31-2010, 12:55 PM


Hey guys, I really am intrigued with Boudoir/Glamour photography and want to give it a go but I am having hell trying to find people to let me practice on! A lot of them have privacy concerns which means if I even got them to let me do the shoot they more than likely wouldnt let me share the results. Any suggestions?

Amy is right hiring models is the best way to get pics but you can also try looking at Meetup to see if there are any local groups in your area. I know that there are several in the DFW area as well as Austin and Houston but I do not know about Amarillo.

You might contact Wil McCarley in Amarillo and see if he will recommend anything -- I know he does a lot of photography like that and he's been doing it for awhile... also, there's a girl named Amber Wallace who has gotten into that sort of photography, as well.

Thanks! I've never heard of Wil but will look him up. I do know of Amber and have her on my FB so I'll talk to her too!

Starting by practicing on models is good. No one wants to be willing to share when they dont really know what your stuff is gonna look like. My clients still dont totally believe how good they'll look until after they see their own shots - then they want to share. Also depends on what kinda boudoir you are shooting. Mines more glamour.

Might I suggest the following Google search term: "Houston Area Gentleman club"

Haha, I'm just messing around. I have no desire to do bourdoir photography. The last thing I need to do it take something onto my plate.
