Glamour Photography - Vancouver and location
Every serious photo is composed to direct the viewer’s eyes towards some part or aspect of the image. A person may be in an image only to provide reference point which may help the viewer understand the magnitude or lack of magnitude of the actual subject, such as a person standing beside a huge horse, and people may also be in the photo simply as a mannequin to present wardrobe or to present hair and makeup fro example. In these photos the person in the photo is really secondary to the real subject of the photos.
Glamour photography is an artistic representation of the human form and personality. Moreover to glamorize a photograph and the model is to add special sense of compelling and exciting attractiveness to the photo and persona. In glamour photo’s the person or persons in the photo are the main or primary subject and everything else in the photo is secondary to the persons form and the personality we wish to covey.
In other words in glamour photography wardrobe is selected to help enhance the look of the model rather then the model selected to enhance the look of the wardrobe. Generally the eyes of the subject are of primary importance and she will usually be focussed on the camera, and the camera focused on the eyes, in order to share a unique personality and often a sense of humour. I love to have the photos be about the
I like to shoot “”Eyes”” and everything attached to them is secondary, so I think of myself as primarily a glamour photographer because I attempt to ensure a personality is apparent and a strong part of the images I create.
“Ordinary women in the hands of a flattering photographer will look amazingly gorgeous. Yet put the camera in the hands of a inexperienced operator a gorgeous woman will just look ordinary. I am not a journalist – i am not a realist – I create a realistic fantasy with you in it.”

Glamour photography
is a genre of photography whereby people, usually female, are portrayed in such a way as to emphasize attractiveness and charm. According to a tacit convention in photographic practice, glamour photography rarely exposes conspicuously a subject’s private physical features, such as breasts or genitalia; the implied concepts at play within this genre being those of mystery and temptation. Photographers use a combination of cosmetics, lighting and airbrushing techniques to produce an appealing image of the subject.
Glamour photography is generally a composed image of a subject in a still position. The subjects of glamour photography are often professional models, and the photographs are normally intended for commercial use, including mass-produced calendars, pinups and for men’s magazines, such as Playboy; but amateur subjects are also sometimes used, and sometimes the photographs are intended for private and personal use only.
Popular portraiture
Since the 1990s glamour photography has increased in popularity among the public. Glamour portrait studios opened, offering professional hair and makeup artists and professional retouching to allow the general public to have the “model” experience. These sometimes include “boudoir” portraits but are more commonly used by professionals and high school seniors who want to look “their best” for their portraits.
