046. 5 Tips To A Scroll-Stopping Boudoir Photo

Boudoir photographers want to take a beautiful boudoir photo that stops the scroll of potential clients.  I think we’re all trying to outdo our last most-impressive photo–every time we pick up our camera. 

We’ve all seen the photos that other photographers have posted. You know, the ones that make you stop scrolling and just study the image in awe.

And as photographers, we’re all striving to create those photos. We want to be the photographer who makes other photographers and potential clients just stop in their tracks because of how beautiful an image is.

 

Over the years–and after investing a lot of money in education with some of the best photographers in the world–I feel like I’ve been able to create a few of these scroll-stopping boudoir images.

The thing is, there’s a lot that goes into creating an incredible image. This episode covers five tips to create a scroll-stopping boudoir photo.. 

1. Lighting is the most important element of your boudoir image. Without great light, your boudoir photo will be average at best–when it could be spectacular.
2. Posing your client from head to toe is very important to create a phenomenal boudoir photo. Remember, your paying clients aren’t experienced models. They are normal women and then need posing instruction so that they feel like models..
3. Instead of asking clients to spend hundreds of dollars on outfits, let them spend that money with you! If they buy the $25 bodysuit from Amazon instead of the $200 option from Victoria’s Secret, they can spend that extra $175 with you.
4. Make sure she feels beautiful, confident, and you give off that bestie vibe throughout the entire photoshoot.
5. Subtle retouching, at minimum, is a must for scroll-stopping photos. Don’t skip this part.

In this episode, I break down these five tips to help you create your next scroll-stopping image with more intention.
