I like the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of glamour:
"an exciting and often illusory and romantic attractiveness". Even if
glamour often means sexiness, my vision rather focuses on romance and
imagination. But of course, everything is just an illusion as the model
plays a role.
Most of my models are friends or simply people I meet. I
think that a successful glamour series should be satisfactory both for
the model and the photographer. It is thus essential in my work that
both of us know the mood and atmosphere that we will try to convey
prior to the session. This way, the model gains confidence and suggests
new ideas - I think that this collaboration gives the best results as
we gradually share our intimacy.
Mood is often achieved by colouring the image digitally
afterwards, even though we try to do our best to create most of the
work at shooting time. Soft lighting usually just comes from shaded
areas on a bright day.
