As a member of several Facebook groups about photography for beginners I often see a lot of questions that really make me shake my head.
I see a lot of people taking photos in natural light and doing it really poorly. To the other extreme I see people who spend lots of money on lighting only to take really poor quality photos.

Practice! Practice! Practice! That is the mantra of every great photographer.
Practice is something I am seeing that seemingly most digital photographers don’t do.
Regardless if you’re doing glamour photography, fashion photography, wedding photography, nude photography or even architecture. You need to be practicing every single day. I am constantly telling people this. Practice is the way you get to Carnegie Hall!

I was cruising through YouTube recently, when I came across a video by a really great photographer from Australia. He does a lot of tutorial videos, and workshops on photography.
So well known is he that he gets flown all over the world to help mentor those interested in photography. What a great sounding life right?

I was recently in a group for “Boudoir” photographers when someone posted an image that was not a boudoir photo but was in fact a glamour photo. I mentioned that it was a great image but that it really didn’t qualify as a boudoir image as the model was just a girl standing outside against a wall wearing jeans and a bra.
Everything about the image was well shot; the lighting, composition, exposure. But it wasn’t a boudoir image.Shortly after posting my comment the owner of the group who is apparently a very well known boudoir photographer responded to me that I needed to read the rules of the group.
