Tips For Setting Up Boudoir Photo Shoots Columbus Customers Will Enjoy

By Roger Snyder


Not everyone is comfortable posing in front of a camera. That's why photographers spend so much time trying to get subjects to act more relaxed and natural. As a professional photographer you might be tempted to expand your repertoire and include intimate photography. Setting up successful boudoir photo shoots Columbus women will be comfortable with requires great communication.

Photographers who specialize in this field suggest sending the client a questionnaire sometime before the photo shoot. The questionnaire should be designed to help you determine the client's goals for the shoot and which of her features she wants to emphasize. You also need to know what her plans are for the final product.

You should have a face to face meeting with your client prior to the shoot. Texting and emailing are fine, but in order to gain the client's trust and really open the lines of communication, you need to meet in person. You can go over the questionnaire, and ask if there any other questions. The day before the scheduled shoot, you might phone her just to touch base and let her know how much you are looking forward to working with her.

Not all of your subjects are going to be confident about their appearance and may ask you for apparel suggestions. It's always better for the woman to pick out something she thinks makes her look good and that she's comfortable wearing. Some women try to wear the kind of lingerie that's outside their comfort zone because it's too risque. The subject's discomfort and embarrassment is going to show up in the photos you shoot.

If asked you might suggest that the client have her hair and makeup professionally done. This will certainly make lighting and posing much easier for you. It also takes a lot of the anxiety off the client.

A professional stylist makes clients more confident about their appearances, and that translates into better pictures. If possible you should recommend that the stylist join you and your client for the pre-shoot meeting so you all can discuss the kinds of pictures you're going to take and the best way to style the client for them.

At the beginning of the shoot, your client is most likely going to be nervous and unsure about what to do with herself. You probably won't be working with professional models, so you might have to actually demonstrate the pose, or poses, you're thinking about to get the client's opinion about them. Throughout the shoot, you have to give the subject plenty of encouraging words and positive feedback.

Your client has the right to expect you to show up for the shoot with all the equipment necessary to create professionals photos. What you actually bring will depend on the space and light you are working with. A lot of professionals like fast prime lenses and suggest 50mm for areas with limited space. Anything bigger creates distortion that isn't flattering.
