Stephens R. Boudoir: Raising the Bar: The Pose Book

Rachel Stephens Photography for Women, 2013. — 174 p.I cannot tell you how humbling it is for me to be here writing this eBook. Never in a million years would I have thought that a career in teaching other photographers would evolve from my humble beginnings teaching myself this amazing craft. I’ve been specializing in boudoir photography for a decade, traveling the country for six of those years, shooting twenty events and empowering upwards of five hundred women per year. I
am self taught and am enjoying a successful career shooting nothing but boudoir which is the toughest niche in the portrait photography industry.What I hear most from clients is “I don’t know how to pose!” and from people wanting to get into boudoir photography “How do you pose people?” As with any business, you take note of what sells. Over the years I have developed a mental shot list that serves as a guide for every session that I do. Every session. Every shape. Every age.For the first time I am sharing this shot list for you to use as a practical guide to conduct your own sessions and I hope that it will serve you as well as it has served me over the years.
