Getting Started with Glamour Photography

0 min read
I got a question the other day asking how to get started with shooting glamour photography. I tend to get rolling with a long drawn out answer, trying to be as comprehensive as possible and then i realize it's a much simpler answer. Knowing what I know now, the fast track to getting better fast are the various online video course site that have come along in the last 10 years. I'm specifically talking about RGU and Kelby One but my favorite place is Creative Live. So much knowledge being shared through these courses.

I have recently uploaded some shots of my girlfriend..

because she is shy and doesn't have a lot of self confidence..

so i convinced her to try this as a kind of game...

to face her fears..and to see how i see her, and how the other see her..

maybe if she read true comments, from foreign people her self confidence will be improved..

So if you want to write something on those pictures please feel free to do it..

I am not censoring any comment i just read them to her..

I am not looking for comment onl my skils :-)but only true thoughts about her.
