Seriously don't judge a book by its cover, or its title for that matter

Sunday, June 15, 2014
Ok so the title of this book is Creating Erotic Photography- find models, choose locations, design great lighting, and sell your images by Richard Young. Now I put off reviewing this for a bit thinking that the title meant it would be somewhat in the porn realm and out of my comfort zone. However once I sat down and gave it a shot I learned it was less about the subject matter (nude women of course) and more about being a smart photographer and protecting your own behind. He mentioned paperwork that I had never heard of that appears to be fairly essential not just for a nude photographer but almost any type of photographer. He discussed being comfortable with your model and the mutual trust necessary for a project to be a success. Also a good portion of what he has to talk about can easily be applied to boudoir photography, which as you can see from my previous posts is something I'm beginning to delve into. There are some very beautiful photos that are most definitely fine art also. I'm happy I finally made the time to read this one.
