The art of air brushing

A lot of people have some sort of issue of some kind with retouching. If you asked any girl about looking like those girls do in the magazines, they will tell you they are not real and then may add that they have to live up to that… so how can they??

Living up to a paper doll, is a little bit easier than you think.. A like for like, book your boudoir shoot, talk to the photographers, have fun , enjoy your self and then when anyone says, those girls in the magazines look so lush/ stunning/sexy/flawless, you can just pull out your images and wow them all :-)

Glamour photography ( as we define it) is all about lies, when you get down to to todays definition of  glamour is the impression of attraction or fascination that a particularly luxurious or elegant appearance creates, an impression which is better than the reality.

Glamour photography is a genre of photography where you are portrayed in a romantic or sexually alluring way. but glamour photography stops short of deliberately arousing the viewer in a more adult way. Boudoir photography is different in that the photography is more set to show off the lingerie and poses that may add more tease rather than the out right excitement of a glamour photo shoot.
Pinup Photography is more fun and less flirty, and sexual in the imagery but it still retains  the flirtyness in a indirect way. Also Pin-up can be more classical in the form of the calendar girls, or can be more glamorous with the modern type of pin up photo shoots. 

Lighter retouching with Boudoir, more retouching with glamour…

as you can see in the video, we have a boudoir pose and glamour retouching. It all part of the look ten years younger retouching which has to be asked for, as normally we wouldn’t go that far with clients, though it is pretty reserved in many aspects that can be altered.
