Hair IS Part of the Wardrobe for Any Boudoir Shoot
One of the biggest mistakes I see photographers make is not paying attention to hair in a pose. Hair is one of the biggest accessories you can use to change up a pose and it is probably one of the most versatile things you can use to add so much to a photo.
For a lot of newer photographers, getting the right connection from a client can be difficult. Even for seasoned photographers there are just some clients that you cannot beat into submission to own their sexy. In those cases, I use the hair to help. I will lay hair across the face or partially across the face. It will instantly turn any “eh” photo into “WHOA!”
Blow her. Blowing hair with a fan or blowdryer will really up your game. If you have a client that doesn’t feel comfortable moving around a lot, blowing hair gives a photo instant movement and can really intensify the mood of a photo. This is a HUGE trick of mine.
On the movement note, having women whip their head for hair movement or throw their head back is a fabulous trick to getting a more sensual tone to a shot.
Don’t have a stylist on site? No worries, put that hair in a messy braid, top knot, back twist or ponytail. Presto change-o instantly.
Hands in hair! I have my clients play in their hair all the time. I have them move a strand to their lips, hug it into their faces and also have them move their hands around in it while the fan is blowing. I do have to instruct them to REALLY get in there because most are intimidated and wind up looking like they’re washing their hair instead of getting their sexy on. Once I show them myself, it’s go-time, so don’t be afraid to get in the game.
