Good photography requires a variety of
skills, some more important in one field
than another. But nude and glamour
photography can involve every aspect of
photography and demands all the skills
required across the spectrum: an
awareness of atmosphere, a good sense of
composition, ability to respond quickly to
situations and nuances of expression plus
a strong sense of colour and design.
The appeal of a beautiful woman and the
qualities of sensuality and sexual
attraction are by no means purely visual.
A successful photograph must find a way
of translating these often intangible
elements into visual terms.
Michael Busselle’s Nude and Glamour
Photography is a comprehensive guide to
success in all aspects of the art. There are
150 colour and 250 black-and-white
photographs with 100 explanatory
diagrams to illustrate the techniques
described in the book. It gives methods
and professional tips for setting up a
session in the studio or on location. There
is a chapter on the equipment and
accessories needed and advice on which
techniques to employ to get the best
results.
With a section on the masters of the art
and special projects to help you evoke
specific themes and effects, this book is an
invaluable reference work for aspiring
photographers.
