When your wife goes fabric shopping go with her. When your kids go to the dollar store, go with them.
Fabric is, of course, the glamour shooter's friend. A couple yards of sheer material can do anything from dresses to drapes, from see-through curtains to hammocks.
Part of the fun of glamour photography is doing more with less. While the fashion industry needs the $20,000 dress and $1800 faux fur rug to sell those ads in the magazines, the glamour shooter can play with a paper tablecloth worth a dollar, and $10 worth of material.
