Boudoir photography is a challenging genre, far more than simple snaps of a partly clothed subject. To do it well, results in images people are proud to show, with an obvious look of combined art and sensuality, rather than ‘tacky’ snaps.

To reach that level, the photographer has to understand how too light the subject, put them at ease, how they should be posed, and good post capture skills which today are  fundamental.

But it is not just the professional or aspiring pro who this workshop will provide these answers for, but also the enthusiast, who simply wishes no more than to create wonderful shots of their partner for posterity.
And when you know what you are doing, you can achieve rewarding results using anything from studio lighting too portable (strobe) flash. So during this workshop, John shows how to light, pose, compose and guide the subject, using a variety of equipment for differing interests. Alongside we look at make-up, briefing and working with a client, further technical aspects and the post capture side. There will be a mix of example and practical shooting sessions as the day progresses.
