Chris Nelson. Master Guide for Glamour Photography: Digital Techniques and Images. 2007

I


find creating glamour images personally rewarding. There’s some-
thing really artistically satisfying, sexy, and cool about creating sty-
listic and sensual images that describe what makes a particular
woman alluring and feminine. Glamour clients are also among the most ap-
preciative you’ll ever photograph, which is a great reward in and of itself.
Still, it would be misleading of me to suggest that glamour photography
is a no-fail way to get rich. At my studio, weddings still produce the biggest
tickets, while high-school senior sessions are the most profitable. The typi-
cal glamour client, on the other hand, is in her twenties and probably at least
a little strapped for cash.
But think about what this means. Some time in the near future, your
glamour client will very likely get married. Since she has a great relationship
with you and your studio, you’ll probably book her wedding. You’ll meet
her fiancé, if you haven’t already, to shoot their engagement session. She may
even want another glamour session for a wedding gift—I often even throw
these in for free.

A SUMMARY. DOLLARS, SENSE, AND LIFE:


DOLLARS, SENSE, AND LIFE: A SUMMARY


Glamour clients like Roxanne are among the
most appreciative you’ll ever photograph,
which is a great reward in and of itself.
