glamour photographer Wakefield: Nikki

{glamour photographer Wakefield}: Today I gave another 1-2-1 photography tuition in my studio and i used Nikki as the model or the shoot. The aim of the shoot was to work through different lighting scenarios for glamour and boudoir photography using reflectors, hot lights and studio flash heads to create different moods to the images. Some shots were lit entirely with reflectors which is a technique I enjoy as I am partial to the warm ‘sunlight’ effects that can be achieved, I often employ this style of lighting in my wedding photography to for gorgeous bridal portraits. The trick with reflectors is knowing how to bounce the light and create either an overall even lighting or to highlight the face. I enjoyed the lifestyle images of Nikki reading a magazine and drinking coffee, these are the sort of images that can be created for stock agencies for instance. I also showed some boudoir techniques using classic Hollywood lighting to give gorgeous contrasty black and white images so typical of the 1940s film era.
