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

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

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.)

When you go to your favorite newsstand today, check out the latest issue of College Gentleman Magazine.  I photographed the cover and the correspond photo shoot inside.   The magazine is all about tasteful sexy  boudoir photography.   When I had a pre-release copy out for lunch, several of the staff walked by and commented on how hot they found the cover.

I was selected to do this shoot because of my experience making woman look sexy and beautiful in intimate photographs.

I frequently hear “sure you can make a model look great, but I’m no model.”    The same tricks I use to make the girls in the magazines look perfect are what I use for my boudoir and glamour clients. My goal as your photographer is to make you look like you belong in a magazine.

Windows and Boudoir

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.

Pin-up, Fine Art Nudes and More!

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.

Pin-Up Classic – Telephone

Pin-up photography is so much fun and this week I shot several shoots. When creating pin-up photographs, I often look over some of the great pin-ups through the years. One common theme is pin-up girl with telephone. So of course it is one of the photographs that I create.

Classic pin-ups were done by talented artists, often based on photographs. The artist then created the final pin-up using their creative vision to produce the final image. As a photographer I create my pin-ups in a similar way. I base the image on a photograph which I then process to create the final pin-up image. It is time consuming, but I like the end result.

Creating a classic pin-up

When creating a classic pin-up photograph, there often is a sub-story in the shot. The pin-up needs a “reason” for being there. In this case she was going on a picnic. The client brought a classic car to the studio which really helped to sell the notion of a classic pin-up, and gives the photographer some great creative options.

Of course, some classic-looking lingerie along with some fishnet stockings and we are on our way to making this pin-up photography work. There is nothing more seductive than wearing sexy stockings with different accessories, as this can really help the picture, and your vision, come to life. This type of lingerie can do wonders for the female body and enhancing the attraction that people could feel towards it.

Ultimately, embodying a pin up is all about celebrating the female form in all its glory. You might even want to take a look at some adult content from a website such as https://www.collegeporn.xxx/ to inspire your next pin up shoot.

Whether it is modern boudoir or classic pin-up photography, I like to keep the image really focused on the person. So props are used minimally, and in the case for example we only see a small portion of the car to keep the focus on the beautiful pin-up.

Busy week

Have some fine art nude photographs showing in a local photography gallery starting this Friday. I always enjoy these type of events as I get to see a wide variety of work from other photographers.

I also did some automotive photography this week, which I really enjoy. This AMX’s color just popped in the studio.

Good news is next week has a full schedule too. So I should have some fun images to show from those shoots too.
