In Ohio, when we get summer .. or even nice weather... Hello almost anything above 50 degrees! We all want to be outside.. But .. For a boudoir experience .. the sun isn't your friend... and Now with summer in full swing and tan lines abound I figured I'd cover as it's been a while.
Editing here at Boudoir by DcKetchamPhotography
I use photoshop to enhance a photo .. not make a photo. I also hand edit each photo that you "buy" I make sure your images look perfect before they’re sent off to print. All images our clients’ purchase go through retouching to remove bruises and blemishes, and fix color. It's rare, but some clients will order additional retouching, but .. for the most part I am using photoshop to bring your photo to that next level.
WHAT THINGS CAN I DO TO HELP PREPARE FOR MY PHOTO SHOOT?
Well, read all of your emails... but also.. Stretching and hydration! The biggest complaint I hear from ladies who have done their boudoir photo shoot is how sore they were afterwards! Some poses really require you to get that arch in your back and you might have to hold it for a few seconds to get that perfect shot. Doing a few leg and back stretches in the days leading up to (and especially a little bit before) your experience will really help loosen you up. Water will help with that as well, plus we always look and feel our best when we are hydrated.
SHOULD I GET A SPRAY TAN BEFORE MY SESSION?
No! We all want to have that glowing skin, especially for a your boudoir experience, but spray tans often look splotchy and orange on camera and you will end up spending more than expected on retouching to correct it. If you have gotten a spray tan and it hasn’t quite turned out how you want it, or you find yourself with tan lines, don’t worry! We have several retouching options available at your viewing and ordering appointment that cover that. The same goes for sunburns. This is the time of year where everyone wants to go out and enjoy the sun but don’t leave your sunblock behind!
But don’t forget, our photographers are professionally trained in lighting and I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much your natural skin tone can glow!
