Capturing Her Curves – A Note from Melinda of Melinda Le’ Photography.
I’ve always been enamored with beautiful, sexy photos of women, so when I became a photographer I was immediately drawn to boudoir photography. Although, I’d seen many beautiful portraits created by some amazing photographers, I had a hard time relating to them. I mean, they were taking gorgeous photos but the women in them were already “model perfect.” I thought to myself, what about all of the women out there (like myself) who don’t fit into what society projects as the perfect prototypical woman in a boudoir photo. It went even deeper than that. I thought of the many women I knew who were beautiful (in my eyes) but lacked the confidence to take these type of portraits. Their reasons varied but were largely based on their age, size or lack of self esteem. I realized that there were SO MANY women being alienated from the beauty of having a work of art taken simple because no one was appealing to them. NO ONE WAS TAKING PHOTOS OF WOMEN THAT LOOKED LIKE ME! That’s when I decided to do something about it.
My team and I started shooting boudoir sessions for women of all backgrounds, ages & sizes. We were able to expand our business and create a positive, empowering experience for our clients.
And now, for the first time, we will be revealing our boudoir techniques on:
- Photographer/Client Interaction – How To Connect And Create Trust.
- Effective Esteem Boosting – How To Promote That “Vixen” Feeling
- Posing A Curvy Woman
- Private Home Studio vs. Hotel
- Boudoir Boutiques – What Are They
- Building Relationships With Hair And Makeup Artists
- The Curvy Woman Portfolio
- Styled Shoots – Getting Published In Magazines & Blogs
- Branding – How To Brand Your Boudoir Business
- Partnering With A Planner/Designer
- What Planners Really Want From Photographers – Getting On Their Preferred Vendor List
This workshop will feature a live “curvy” boudoir model. Please bring your cameras, as I will be demonstrating some of the techniques that I use. You may create images for your own portfolio. You must be at least 18 years old to attend the Capturing Her Curves Workshop.
You will walk away from this workshop with a wealth of information that every boudoir photographer should have. This is not one you want to miss!
