“Photography, fortunately, to me has not only been a profession but also a contact between people – to understand human nature and record, if possible, the best in each individual.”

Have you ever photographed a person, any person, just a human being? I think, surely yes. Today we are going to talk about the relationships between a photographer and a model. If one said it is very easy to shoot anybody, I would send a gob in his face. To get a nice picture of anyone, you have to establish a mutual contact with a person. Making relationships is not obligatory, though a model should believe and trust you. A nice girl will smile, a brave man will show respect and the eyes of a little funny boy will be full of trust.
Everyone can be astonished, pleased, sad or, maybe, indifferent. Those are our emotions and if the one is concentrated on the session, he is able to change his emotions. So, the concentration – is the key to success? Definitely yes, you can’t control yourself, if you are thinking of nice daisies or zombies in a studio or at any place. The concentration of a model – is what a photographer should achieve. You won’t catch that astonishing smile, pretty chicks, loving lips in the case you are not working with the model. People also become indifferent, when there’s too much of irritation. Every photographer should be kind and careful. A real photographer is a man of tact: never shout, never quarrel with your models, and never show your teeth. Saying compliments, noticing small details, having discussions, in which model is interested will help you shoot in more intimate consequences, and that is what helps a person show her inner world, the one you need and try to capture.
To me mind it is very necessary to establish an eye contact with you model. Your eyes should the eyes in which the one can only see the trust and respect. If your model trust you, that means she (he) can show what she is made of. Stay careful with your model, do not break the eye contact, when he or she explains you smth, that will mean you are not interested in the person, even if you are.
I expect this article to be useful, at least for someone of you guys. Thanks for reading. Good luck.

Ok, 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.
