Need help with photos

You can get some decent pics yourself and there is nothing wrong with going with a professional or a hobbiest.

Lighting is almost always the the key to achieving good shots. As mentioned the golden hour is a good time but you can also reproduce that with lighting. When you set up you want more light than you think that you will need. If you are using lamps then have one that will face straight at your wife. Then set up a few or one that is much stronger than your first one as your directional lighting. This will be set up to the side, above, below, etc. Most of the boudoir shoots will use a lot of directional lighting or the magic hour natural lighting which is directional. When using the lighting move it around quiet a bit because the effects can vary a lot.

When doing set up be sure to unclutter whatever space you plan on using. Flat or empty space works well if you are seeking to focus on your wife. You can go as simple a king size sheet or two to block out some space or make a backdrop. Think about a lot of the studios that you see. There will be a simple backdrop and perhaps one prop or two. Make sure you don't have anything in the picture that will distract from your objective. Take a little time to set up the areas you want to shoot in.

Doing photos can be a lot of fun together. When getting a photographer be sure to treat it like you would any other date. Meet them first and be 100% sure that you all are comfortable with them. There are a few in the LS and it is probably your best option to begin with. Most boudoir focussed guys will be fairly expensive. It would be some where in the neighborhood for what you would pay for a small wedding in your area. Pricing tends to be regional. The big issue is being sure you keep the rights to your photos, assuming discretion is an issue. You may or my not want your wife's pictures being used to promote their business.

Good luck and have fun.

@newbies...welcome. You are correct in that your wife is smoking hot.

I am a certified expert in these matters and without even seeing the sexy photos you have taken, I am still able to identify the exact problem that is preventing you from capturing proper photos of your wife in all of her sexual glory.

The problem is quite simple really...none of the photos you have taken of her thus far have been of her riding my impressively-slightly-above-average wang.

That's literally the missing link. Pick me up at then airport tomorrow. I'm here to help.

I figured I'd beat you to the punch - I know it's kind of ridiculous! Especially since Phoebert's the photographer, not me.

As long as you bring popcorn it's all good - can't take this too seriously.

RonKathy - maybe I should have specified yellow gumby?

Thanks everyone for the tips. We'll give it a shot. RonKathy, thanks for the inspiration.

Natural lighting works best. Lots of it during the golden hour, which is right around sunset. If you can't use natural light, bring in as much lighting as possible and watch where the shadows are. If you take 100 photos, you may get 10 to 15 useable images.

Have fun :)

And after you do a photo shoot as suggested by travelers122227 you should have your wife take pictures of you. I think Velma had the best advice for gentlemen - pose like a Greek god, not a tin soldier - or something along those lines. Have fun with it - it's really easy to delete bad digital photos!

And RonKathy should be by soon with popcorn - laughing at the gumby giving photo advice again!

Getting a "helper" to do the photography can be it's own fun, but here is another suggestion for DIY.

Digital photos have no associated cost. Have her dress as pleases you both, but then just let her walk around, turn, bend over, sit in a chair, dance, roll around on the bed, on the beach, in the woods, on the car, whatever. Do it again another day in another place in another outfit. Repeat.

You can take 1,000 photos for the same cost as taking 10. If you get a few really good ones, you win! Just delete the rest.

Alright, i see so many profiles with these amazing pictures of seductive sexy ladies in various states of undress and when i try to catch my smokong hot wife in something sexy it looks like a took it with an Etch-a-sketch while drunk!

I need someone (or couple) to come take some pics of her. Of you have even the slightest bit of talent, she will be very easy...i will probably photograph the best in the dark...without a flash. ?

Can someone in the N. detroit area come help?
