What Is Modern Glamour Photography?
Modern Glamour photography is all about photographing women looking their best. Highlighting their beauty and personality and showing them in the most beautiful light. While it is a unique niche that focuses on beauty, glamour photography is not well understood.
Gone are the days of the soft focus filter, cringy lighting and the big permed hair. No more… before and after adverts from the 80’s. When thinking about glamour photography most woman have this picture in mind, the 80’s hairdo, shoulder pads and an out of date style. Fear no more ladies!
Today, glamour photography has a new take on an old favourite and our photographers are coming up with new and inspiring ways to show our ladies beauty. The Glamour genre is split into 4 very different niches.
Modern Glamour – classy, glamourous, elegant
Boudoir Glamour – sexy, feminine, sensual
Nude and Implied Nude Glamour – artistic, classic, raw
Fantasy Glamour – creative, unique, expressive
1.Modern Glamour Photography
Modern glamour photography is all about showing off a woman’s personality and personal style, stepping into a more luxurious, elegant self.
Every woman has that beautiful full-length dress they do not get to wear very often; this is the kind of shoot that warrants bringing it out of the closet.
Some women want to see themselves as the belle of the ball and some want to show off that side of themselves that does not get to come out that often… like the Rock chic or Hollywood starlet. It’s the Glamour niche that allows a woman to feel glamourous and beautiful without having to take their clothes off.

2. Boudoir Photography
Boudoir photography, as the name suggests is all about that bedroom feel… bring out that sexy Mumma or find confidence through a sexy lingerie shoot.
Its all about showing off a woman’s beautiful curves and allowing that sensual woman to come out to play.
It’s about accepting her body for what it is right now and seeing every part of that body as beautiful… flaws and all.
This niche is where a woman will be in their favourite lingerie pieces and in those suggestive poses that show off all the right bits, angles and curves to help get them (…and whoever is seeing these photos) in the mood.

3. Nude Photography
Nude photography is fast becoming the new thing to do... there is no better way for a woman to accept herself than to do a nude photo shoot.
Being photographed in the nude can be a freeing, inspirational and very empowering experience.
At first, many women shy away from doing nudes because they think its going to be uncomfortable to be naked in front of a stranger and a camera.
Well I am here to tell you ladies that this is just not true.
With the right combination of our professional studio lighting techniques and award-winning photographers, our ladies are guided through their photo shoot.
