notes about glamour photography
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009Ok, today I want to talk about Glamour photography. Glamour photography is the photographing of a model with the emphasis on the subject. Photographers use a combination of cosmetics, lighting and airbrushing techniques to produce the most physically and sexually appealing image of the model possible.
“the most physically and sexually appealing image of the model possible”
But, do they need to get naked for “glamour photography”?
Standards of glamour photography have changed over time, reflecting changes in social acceptance. In the early 1920s, USA photographers like Ruth Harriet Louise and George Hurrell photographed celebrities to glamourise their stature by utilizing lighting techniques to develop dramatic effects. During World War II pin-up pictures of scantily clad movie stars were extremely popular among US servicemen. However, until the 1950s, the use of glamour photography in advertising or men’s magazines was highly controversial or even illegal. Magazines featuring glamour photography were sometimes marketed as “art magazines” or “health magazines”.
For me glamorous picture, is when a girl is not showing the naked body and radiates unbelievable sexuality. And Idol of this style for me is Emel Bayram aka memelsteak, look at her best shot (ihmo)

girl is awesome, maybe she is naked, but i don’t see it, i don’t need to see her naked body, she is so sexy in the way she is.
But if you go to deviantart glamour portraits, most of pics gonna be naked.
