In this class we look at lighting, posing, and retouching 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. We will also talk about how to market them in your business with so many angles: we can take mother and daughter shoots, girls day out, family shoots, because you’re 60 and fabulous… the list goes on. Start a campaign today that challenges the beauty norm and shows this demographic just how incredible and beautiful they are. This woman is the matriarch of the family. She is the core to multiple referrals and shooting genres from maternity, to newborn, to generation shoots, to full families.

Watch as Sue breaks down her original posing wall series for you. It is the foundation of studio posing and it will change the way you shoot. You will see her comparing photos from past shoots with a live model so you can see how she set them up. She will go over lighting and angles along with a lot of other amazing information. Sue is always great at sharing her nearly 30 years of experience and this video is no different. Posing people on the wall changes the body language and gives your clients something to do. It provides a feeling of safety and support. When your clients feel safe and supported, they tend to feel more comfortable. This will make for an amazing shoot with absolutely beautiful portraits in the end! You won’t want to miss this course!

Sue has a different take on boudoir photography than most photographers. For her, portrait photography, even boudoir photography, is all about connection, glamour, and fashion-style imagery. This shoot revolves around a glamour version of vintage pinup. It asks the question, what would you find if you did a search for vogue pinup? And it teaches you everything you need to know about how to achieve it.

So much of shooting portrait is the adjustment of angles and how they change the shape of your client’s body. In this video, watch as Sue will live shoot using different focal lengths. This will show you the power of angles, tilts and composition and how to use them for your advantage. First things first, you want to make sure you are eye to eye with your client. If they sit, you sit. If they stand, you stand. This is where apple boxes come in handy. They come in half sizes and are great for getting you eye to eye with your client. This is important in helping with shooting with angles.

Posing is one of the most important parts of being a portrait photographer. You MUST be able to pose women of all different body types if you want to book women as your clients. It took Sue a lot of practice, but she can say that she has mastered posing women and she wants you to master it, as well! Watching our Posing Breakdown course is the first step!
