I have a boudoir shoot coming up next week – pictures that will be a gift for my client’s husband.
Thought it might be fun (and informative) if you tmo members could offer up your ideas as to what is sexy (but within the tasteful realm – if you can handle that).
What pose/clothing/lighting would you want in a portrait of your wife/girlfriend/love interest?

I knew I wouldn't get any serious answers but I thought I'd try anyway.

Would you like her

I'd go for a nice, well lit, simple facial shot.

You can't really go wrong with the classic Pulp Fiction Uma pose:
Fag is optional, but I'd drop the pout for a wry smile. Perhaps even resting the chin non-chalantly on the back of a relaxed spare hand (if fagless), or cupping the side of the face elegantly. As above, nice accentutated cleavage, bedroom eyes off from centre, perhaps even slightly drooped head looking up and into the lens. Legs as above.
Bed good, either black or red dress (Black if larger lady). Tight and high heels again as above. Props - sometbing to break up from the colour of the sheets or whatever the subject is posing on - use a colour wheel to get the contrast if sheet is not black.
Cliched maybe, but looks good to me. In fact I might go for a wank now.
I miss taking pichurs

Why aren't you taking pictures?
I had planned to pose her on the bed (I've been way too lazy to get out my backdrops lately...)
Oh, and you'd go with a dress rather than lingerie or naked?

Black silky lingerie
I'm with Waynster on the pose, although I'd say a sultry expression rather than a wry smile, something that says classy, sexy and confident.

I don't know - no gigs have come up lately, I'm losing touch with all my industry contacts and I have no inspiration to shoot anything else. Perhaps I need to join a club or something - I am still eyeing up a D200 to purchase, but in the next hour am thinking about flogging all my gear and just getting a point and shoot. I just don't know any more - I guess I have used my camera twice in the last 6 months which is just ridiculous, and the only next planned usage is when I go to Riga in May.

Depends what the subject wants - if its to go on the wall of the house, naked might upset the grandparents, hence my assumption. And anyway, some clothing is usually more erotic than none.

I'd just like to second that. Look at Mia's cheeky lil pert ass in that poster and she's wearing trousers. Posted by scrawny (Member # 113) on :
Dude. Pictures for your client's husband? What the hell do you do for a living?
Not sure I can recommend anything without knowing a bit more about the circumstances, but someone took one of the only pictures I've ever truly liked of me with Brigitte Bardot-esque messed up hair, dark eye makeup, pretty black lingerie etc, putting lipstick on in a mirror, so you could kind of see my back and a bit of my arse, but also most of my front reflected in the mirror. Proper boudoir esque. Am googling a picture now to see if 1) the one of me ever made it onto the internet and 2) if not, I can find one that will explain a bit better.
Posted by scrawny (Member # 113) on :
Just googled Boudoir. This: is quite hot.
There's also some extraordinarily sexy ladies here, in the images section.
For inspiration. Ouch.
Posted by scrawny (Member # 113) on :
AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA. You're a photographer.
Right. Got it now. Fucking hell. I thought you were a swinger or a naked housekeeper or something. Wondered how everyone managed to let that one slip by unnoticed.
As you were.

i'm a little confused now
Posted by scrawny (Member # 113) on :
Perché? I was just agreeing that the Mike Figgis film is extraordinarily hot, especially if you just watch the trailer. The long version goes on a bit. x

so is scrawny. shes a big fucking dyke. bandy is actually a BEARD. that is why his legs are so hairy.

I was reading you as:
quote:Yeah...
-------------------- ...because that's the kind of guy you are.
and didn't quite understand.
yeah i only watched the trailer. like four times. the full version doesn't like my computer for some reason. the trailer is seriously hot, and i'm not one for breathy noir. nor for that matter, open display of female sexuality. way way better than the not hot at all kylie ad.
Posted by vikram (Member # 98) on :
though one is an ad and the other a short, so i guess i shouldn't be comparing.
Posted by rooster (Member # 738) on :
Hmm. I think a lot of those things might be a bit...trashy (at least for Puritanical American sensibilities).
The Bardot look would be ok, as would a take on the Pulp Fiction poster, but anything spread leg is out (even if you can't see anything).
I love how raw this stuff is, but don't think the client will want to go full nude or have such dark, artsy images.
This is probably more the style I'll go for...
