boudoir photography

[Joanne]

can anyone recommend any photographers who specialize in boudoir? or perhaps, give me some recommendations as to what to look for when choosing a photographer?

I'm pretty clueless...

Shit.. I still haven't really helped you out with the photographers you asked for before have I? I'm sorry but I have shit all when it comes to memory skills.

I'm about to go out now so i can'
t give you my list and advice, but I swear that as soon as I get the chance I'll edit this message and help you out as much as possible.

Oh, one question. There are quite a few photographers that only do boudoir photography as a business, I'm not sure how great they are but I guess there's a large demand of women wanting sexy pics for novelty and/or for their lovers. Are you willing to pay someone like that who might be quite expensive? Or would you rather find more of a freelance photographer that would be more willing to work for really cheap or even on a Time for print basis?

I'll do it for you if you do the same for me! I don't feel like paying photographers for it when I can do it myself...or teach someone else how to....=) You just have to get creative.

well, I've called around and I found a guy who specializes in boudoir and charges $150 for a shoot and an extra $20 for each 8X11 black and white photo. he also does air brushing and all that stuff.

I wouldn't mind finding a freelance photographer as long as I could maybe see a portfolio or samples of stuff that he/she has done. do you know of any?


Jen: I don't know a thing about photography or lighting! but if you or someone could teach me, we could definitely do a trade! :)
