The Art And Beauty Of Glamour Modelling

In the previous article, we looked at how catwalk modelling is more than just fashion shows. Rather than brand representation, glamour modelling interests us in the art of self-representation. It also has a more niche market and largely differs in the relationship with its clients. The artists here being photographers, make-up artists, etc., rather than brands owners. Contrasting to fashion modelling, some might say glamour modelling is all about “taking off” your clothes. Hence, why it may not be surprising to hear the misleading assumptions the general public makes about glamour modelling. Today we shall explore a subset of glamour modelling: boudoir photography and pinup. We shall also demonstrate how glamour modelling celebrates femininity and beauty in all its artistic form.

Glamour modelling is all about expressing sensuality and femininity. Taking inspiration from Marilyn Monroe’s boudoir/pinup shoot, Isabella recreated a similar photograph adding her own version of femininity to it.

Glamour Modelling And Its Classic Hollywood Origins

Glamour modelling or glamour photography first emerged during the early 1900s during the war periods. Pinups were highly popular among soldiers throughout World War II. Then Hollywood took pinups a step further during the 1950s and 1960s. Artists such as George Petty, Alberto Vargas and Zoe Mozert further contributed to the commercialisation of pinups. Back then, glamour models were usually upcoming actresses. Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable and Jane Russell were the few pin-up models who popularised both glamour and boudoir photography. Pinup and boudoir occupied a variety of roles. Chief among them is to boost moral among soldiers during World War II. Pinup art was synonymous with aeroplane nose art as in the example below.

The famous Memphis Belle nose art was originally created by well-known artist George Petty for Esquire magazine. The aircraft was also one of the first United States Army Air Forces heavy bombers to complete 25 combat missions without a crewman being killed.

Specialisation In Glamour Modelling – Pinup Vs.

Boudoir

Both pinup and boudoir definitely share certain similarities such as women empowerment. Nonetheless, there are still subtle differences between them.

Burlesque performances directly inspired the creation of pinups. In fact, they used pinup images in business cards and photographic advertisements. Given its popularity, almost everybody embraced the culture of sharing pinup images in most everyday objects. Similarly to pinup, military recruitment during World War II also used boudoir images to encourage enlistment. The only difference was its intention as a gift to one’s romantic partner for private enjoyment. A typical set at a pinup shoot would usually be at pivotal locations, like diner’s or beaches. Whereas, considering boudoir literally means ‘bedroom’, it justifies the more intimate nature of the photographs. Unlike boudoir, pinup usually showcases a story and focuses more on the model’s personality and individuality rather than her sensuality.

Betty Grable’s particular over-the-shoulder pose from her collaboration with photographer Frank Powolny ended up being the best-selling picture in World War II. In fact, this pose of her in a tight one-piece swimsuit was meant to hide her visibly pregnant belly of her first child.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

As shared previously, commercial and catwalk modelling both share the intentions of selling something to the audience. Whereas glamour modelling is more personal and has more to do with how you represent yourself. It commands a niche market and has a very close working relationship with its clients, usually photographers.

In this feature, we invited Isabella Margarita Kucha to enlighten us on the true essence of glamour modelling. With a bubbly yet no-nonsense personality, Sarawakian Isabella enthusiastically shares with us the artistic value of pinup and boudoir. Differentiating itself from commercial and catwalk modelling, glamour modelling focuses on self-expression. The message the models want to convey is entirely through their body language and facial expression. It also plays around a lot with cosmetics and lighting techniques to dramatise the effects of the photograph.

Capture The Glamour Through Intentions And Angles

Intentions play an important role in determining the narrative of your portraits. This is because boudoir and pinup tend to have a socially constructed taboo surrounding them. Thus, really understanding your intentions while posing could speak volumes about your sensuality and femininity. As mentioned, people often assume and misjudge glamour modelling as posing half naked, or wearing nothing more than a piece of lingerie. However, Isabella believes that glamour models can exude femininity and evoke other emotions despite being scantily dressed. All done in good faith, by simply knowing and understanding your intentions. Not forgetting that the angles the photographer chooses are important too.

Similarly to the first picture, this picture was also taken as inspiration from Marilyn Monroe’s shoot.
Image by: Isabella Margarita Kucha

Even we as the general public know how much angles affect the way we look in pictures. Apart from understanding your intentions, Isabella emphasises the importance of establishing a good rapport with your photographer. The photographer and the model should be on the same page about what intentions they’re trying to portray. To do that, setting a good angle would assist to project the intended narrative through the photograph. Isabella also pointed out the very fine line that separates tasteful boudoir or pinup shoots with cheap trashy images. The latter usually turn out to be Not Safe For Work (NSFW).

In Confidence, Every Woman Is A Queen

It’s hard to imagine how showing one’s skin in front of a camera seems easy to do. Asian cultures abhors exposing too much of one’s skin. Some people view it as losing one’s dignity, or reducing women to nothing more than a sexual object. When asked to comment, Isabella believes that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. She also reminds models to take ownership of their bodies.

It’s easy for the general public, like myself, to perceive what glamour models are. But do we honestly know what really goes on inside them, or the challenges that they face? The most important takeaway from glamour modelling is that it empowers you to be confident and comfortable in your skin. When that happens, people will learn to respect the work you do, and appreciate it the way that you do. The best part about glamour modelling? There are no requirements at all!

These are a few photographs from Isabella’s first pinup shoot when she first ventured into glamour modelling at the tender age of 18. She continued exploring the world of glamour modelling for the mere reason it was fun and made her feel confident.

Glamour: Empowering Women Through Feminine Confidence

Since we’ve talked about what glamour modelling is, let’s look at how glamour modelling also celebrates femininity. For the longest time, men have preconceived expectation of women’s bodies. And women have a tough time living up to these sometimes unrealistic expectations. Due to that, most women lack the ability to express themselves or their bodies. For the longest time, society raised women to fear exposing too much skin, and be ashamed of their bodies. As a result, women learnt to be wary of attracting the wrong kind of attention.

“To lose confidence in one’s body is to lose confidence in oneself.”
Simone de beauvoir, French existentialist philosopher and writer

Glamour modelling promotes the idea that women hold the power to express themselves with their bodies. It provides a space for women to feel proud of their bodies. Glamour modelling allows women to liberate themselves from what the society perceives them to be. And most importantly: women should know their worth and never have to apologise for being a woman. Over the centuries until present time, women have normalised the patriarchal standard and brought to light the true meaning of being a woman. We should start by respecting ourselves and our bodies in order to fully embrace the femininity within us.

This photograph was taken for a themed photoshoot called “Spirit Of The Sea” which is said to be the tale of two lovers. It featured makeup artist Bunny Bimba‘s work, with Isabella as the sea goddess and Joel Dana as the sand king.

Interested To Explore Glamour Modelling?

Apart from doing shoots, Isabella also finds herself picking up an interest in photography. Instead of just being the subject for a shoot, she’s switching the roles up by being the photographer instead. She recently founded Borneo Art Collage which is a private Facebook group. The group aims to discover talents, particularly in the Borneo region, who have an interest in venturing into glamour modelling. The reason?… Society often overlook Bornean talents. Most of them simply go unrecognised. Hence, Isabella has taken it upon herself to help these models achieve their goals. Furthermore, Isabella believes that professionals in the industry should mentor and provide guidance to new talents. Sharing is, after all, caring. Isabella is constantly on a lookout for new talents, especially if you’re from the Borneo region. You can reach out to her via her Facebook, she would gladly answer your questions.

So does it mean that the key to a model’s success is to be either curvy and stick thin? Not necessarily so… In the next episode, we’ll be looking at plus-size modelling. It’s surprising to know that plus-size modelling has its fair share of criticisms, although it’s often overlooked.

What is a glamor photo | Fashion

A glamor photo is not just a beautiful photo in which you look good. To take such a photo, you need to know certain rules of the genre and creativity and imagination will be a prerequisite. We have already discussed earlier the question of how to create a glamorous look. Now let's talk about how to capture it in a photo.

How to get great glamor shots

Imagine an old Hollywood portrait of a mid-century actress. Think of defined curves, cheekbones with shadows, classic beauty. This is a glamorous photo. But glamor shots go way beyond traditional Hollywood star portraits. So what is the place of this genre in contemporary photography?

Want to get your glamor photos for your portfolio or Instagram account? Or just want to have such a picture in a frame on your wall? Keep reading and you'll learn everything you need to know about glamor photography and how to get great glamor shots.

What is glamor photography?

A glamor photo focuses on the beauty of the person in the photo. Although it is a genre in its own right, its focus on beauty can inspire work in other genres as well, such as portraiture or model photography. The concept of “glamor photography” can be misunderstood. As a genre that can also be associated with the notion of “sex drive”, this is sometimes a concern for photographers. And in some cases, this is taken to an extreme that no longer qualifies as glamour.

Not all master photographers agree on what constitutes glamor photography. In the simplest, most accepted definition, a glamor photo is a photo that focuses on beauty and charm. This is not like fashion photography, which is usually based on posing and lighting. Glamor shooting is not clothes. The hallmarks of glamor are also not in props or location. It can be important, yes, but to a lesser extent than for model shoots.

Glamor photography focuses on physical beauty. Photographers bring together several different aspects to highlight this ethereal dreamlike beauty. From wardrobe and makeup to lighting and post-production. All the different elements work together to mark and enhance the beauty of the subject.

For many, glamor photography is the confidence of women. Its purpose is to make all women feel beautiful. For photographers working with this definition, a glamor photo is a portrait session that maximizes the beauty of the subject. This is a portrait session that involves a makeup artist, wardrobe choices, and polished poses.

Others define glamor photography as something more sensual. These types of images still emphasize beauty, but in a more flirtatious way. These glamor shots highlight the attractiveness. But photographers can do it with posing and lighting, not necessarily just wardrobe.

This does not mean that the model always wears revealing clothes. But sometimes photographers define glamor as boudoir-like shots that are outside of the boudoir (or bedroom).

The genre also does not adhere to one specific style. Some glamor photos are about confidence, others are about shy flirtatiousness. Glamor photographers can use hard light, soft light, natural light, or studio light. What's important about glamor photography is how everything comes together to bring out the beauty. Whether it's in a flattened way or more obviously enticing.

Is boudoir photography glamorous photography?

Glamorous clothing runs the gamut from the fully dressed model to the scantily clad one. Boudoir photography is a subgenre of glamor photography. The boudoir style also emphasizes beauty, but in a more overtly sexy way. Boudoir models often wear underwear. And, as the name suggests, it takes place in the bedroom or other private space.

Boudoir style shots - like glamour, in this particular case are not aimed at any particular reaction of the viewer. A boudoir vibe can help women feel more confident with less clothing. For example, newlyweds often give their husbands boudoir images.

The boudoir style shares many of the characteristics of glamor photography. While all boudoir is a form of glamor, all glamor is not boudoir. This means you can shoot glamour, without just wearing underwear.

6 tips for successful glamor shots

Glamor photography combines several different elements. And it binds them together in an image that emphasizes beauty. While glamor photography has many variations, there are a few things that glamor photographers keep in mind when creating an image.

1. What to do before shooting

Glamor photography combines several elements into a single image. Planning is necessary for this cohesion. Before you start working with props, location, clothing, and the actual shooting, determine the purpose of the image. What are you looking at? What type of beauty are you hoping to highlight? What does the client want?

Once you've determined your goals, choose the location, lighting, poses, and props. You will have more work to create this image. Glamor photography is not a cookie recipe. By defining your goals and the look you're aiming for from the start, you'll be able to successfully navigate the entire process. This will help to concentrate your artistic vision of the image. Right next to the beauty contained in the frame.

2. Why clothes and makeup matter

Glamor photography is not fashion photography. But that doesn't mean clothes aren't important. Clothes are not in the spotlight, and the wardrobe does not have to be from a big-name brand designer.

Clothing should help the photographer emphasize the beauty of the model. In glamor, the photographer will work more on the wardrobe than the portrait photographer. It's important to choose clothes that accentuate curves rather than hide them. Clothing should flatteringly emphasize all advantages without exception, be neither too loose nor too tight. It's not such a hard and fast rule though. For example, some boudoir photographs contain a loose “boyfriend shirt” as clothing, hiding details enough to tease the viewer and arouse keen interest and imagination in him.

The focus is on the person, not the clothes. The wardrobe also shouldn't be too distracting. Solid colors are generally preferred, and any designs or patterns should be minimal and not distracting. High heels are also often favored by glamor photographers. This is because the arched leg helps to highlight the curves in the calves and thighs.

Glamor photographers also often work with a make-up artist to achieve the right look. Whether you're going for 50s glamor with a bold red lipstick or you prefer natural tones, well-chosen makeup can go a long way in achieving the final result.

3. You can capture glamor just about anywhere

From an all-white photo studio to an old abandoned building. Glamor photographers are not limited in their choice of location. You can have your own glamor studio, rent a studio to take glamor shots, or have an outdoor photo shoot.

What experienced glamor photographers will do is ensure that the place works together with clothing, lighting and everything else to create a complete and coherent image. For example, a glamor photographer working in an old warehouse might opt for ripped jeans as part of their wardrobe.

Alternatively, glamor photographers can choose a location to show off the model's beauty through juxtaposition. Photographing a model in an elegant evening gown in the same abandoned warehouse is an example of the juxtaposition of location and wardrobe.

4. What lighting setting to use for glamor shots

In any genre of photography, lighting is important. In glamour, lighting works to enhance beauty and hide imperfections. Glamor lighting can be heavy with deep shadows. Or soft, with a gradual transition into the shadow. For example, Hollywood glamor 19The 50s used hard light with spotlights.

But many boudoir artists use soft window light. The position of the light is one of the most important aspects of lighting in glamor photography. Positioned higher and aimed downward at the model, the light will help highlight the cheekbones. This creates a kind of “cast” of the face. Along with the cheekbones, the right light can highlight the jawline and elongate the neck. Light can help the model stand out in the overall scene of the composition and draw attention to her beauty.

5. Why choosing a pose is important for a good glamor photo

Glamor photography, with its emphasis on beauty, makes the correct pose of the model indispensable. The genre actually celebrates the human body, and posing is the key to this goal. When used correctly, posing can help draw attention to beauty and get rid of flaws.

Glamorous staging often emphasizes curves. The glamorous pose begins with the movement of the legs from a resting position. Shifting weight onto one leg starts this curve from zero. You can use several tricks to do this, from straightening your knee to stepping forward.

Pay attention to the position of the arms, shoulders and chin. They work together to create a pose that enhances the model's beauty. Arching the back can also highlight curved lines in some poses.

When working with professional models, models will already have enough posing experience. But the photographer must also know how to use the pose to clearly define the subject's position in order to bring out that beauty.

A glamor photo focuses more on the body than on the facial expression, which is more important for the portrait. But the expression is still an important detail. Whether it's a modest smile, slightly parted lips or an intense look. Work on creating an authentic expression that matches the overall feel of the photo.

6. Glamor post-processing

Most of the glamor images are retouched but not airbrushed. Photographers must take care not to cross the line from beauty to plasticity. Working with a makeup artist will help keep post-processing to a minimum. When retouching skin, work on removing imperfections without removing all of the skin texture. Glamor editors also often focus on the eyes. Use the editing tools to bring out the color, and when burning, you can bring out the eyelashes.

Conclusion

A glamor photo emphasizes beauty – sometimes overtly sensual, sometimes tactfully. Glamor shots can look parodic and sometimes controversial and controversial. But when done right, glamor is a style of photography that appreciates beauty. And what photographer does not appreciate beauty?

Features of glamor style: history, special features, examples

The word "glamor" is familiar to many. How does a person who is not very fashion savvy explain the meaning of this concept? First of all, he will use such epithets as "brilliant", "luxurious", "bright" and, perhaps, "expensive" or "rich". In general, it will not be so far from the truth. However, not only the meaning of this concept, but also the style of clothing is multifaceted and has a long history of development. What is glamor and how to create an image in this fashionable direction? Let's try to figure it out.

You can not only read the article, but also listen to it.

Features of the glamorous style in clothes

. Despite the fact that the direction should be very “sensitive” to current trends, blind copying of magazine and Instagram images is not allowed. Therefore, the latter is more in line with the concept of “gloss”, and the glamor that is often confused with it is a bright and luxurious, but, above all, an individual style. Let's consider its general features.

Colors, fabrics, prints and decorations

The palette of shades to create an image in the style in question should be rich and eye-catching. Therefore, it includes such tones as gold, silver, neon. In addition, pink, turquoise, azure, bright yellow and other bright, catchy shades are very popular. The actual prints include, of course, imitating reptile skin or animal skin.

@instyle.com

@indiexo.com

An abundance of shiny decorative elements - sequins, rhinestones - is welcome. Suitable fabrics include silk, chiffon, guipure, atl and s, velvet, taffeta, materials with a mesh structure or with lurex threads. Actual use of fur elements, leather.

@mary-tur

Cut options

The task of styles is still the same - to impress with catchiness, to shock. However, all this should not be done too much - you should observe the measure and amaze not only with extravagance, but also with elegance. Glamor does not accept free styles, and especially baggy. The length can be any, but the cut is necessarily adjacent and seductive, emphasizing the dignity of appearance. Elements such as neckline and cuts, asymmetry are welcome.

@vogue.com

@livingly.com

Shoes and accessories

These are very important details of any look and glamor is no exception. Shoes should have an unusual design, have catchy decorative elements. As a rule, these are models with high heels (the highlight of the image will be its bizarre shape) or on the platform. For glamor, the main thing is not convenience, but sophistication, sex appeal, grace.

Jewelry with precious stones, like no other, corresponds to the general concept of style - to sparkle and shine. Gems are not only part of bracelets and rings - they can also decorate belts and even bags. Probably, it would be superfluous to mention that all accessories and shoes should be only of the highest quality, from expensive materials.

Help. Creating a glamorous look can be dramatically called "walking on the razor's edge." In the sense that when choosing its elements, it is very easy to overdo it and “assemble” a vulgar outfit from an elegantly seductive one. The notorious sense of proportion in no way contradicts glamor with its brightness and outrageousness. Therefore, be sure to dilute the look with some discreet detail or element.

How to create a glamorous look

Even knowing the concept of this or that fashion trend, it can sometimes be difficult to choose the right basic wardrobe items. Below are examples of clothes that can be used to make an extravagantly elegant outfit.

For men

Those who do not consider brutality and some roughness of styles the only options for things for the strong half of humanity, can use elements of glamor style for their image. These include:

tight-fitting shirts in intense colours;
tight trousers and jeans;
fitted jackets, preferably in shiny or printed fabrics;
elegant coats and trench coats;
decorated belts;
silk shawls and scarves.
@m.dd-map.com

@FanFreakz

For women

Glamorous clothes for beautiful ladies must be not only elegant, but seductive and feminine. The dress most of all corresponds to the last criteria. Therefore, it is desirable that there are many models of this wardrobe item. All of them should combine the sophistication of finishes, the brightness of colors, the cut that emphasizes the figure.

However, compliance with all these criteria is also typical for other elements. Tops are fitted, with a bold neckline or open back, in bright colors or richly decorated. Trousers and jeans are fitted. Skirts - puffy to the floor or narrow, elegantly seductive to the knees and above. And also - luxurious fur coats and fur jackets, elegant coats, flirty leather jackets.

The main thing for any bright and extravagant style is the ability to present yourself and the presence of impeccable taste. If you have both and a certain amount of daring, then perhaps a glamorous style is what you need.

A bit of history and interesting facts

As already mentioned, glamor is not a modern concept. Let's imagine the process of its development and give interesting facts about it in thesis, in the form of a list:

The modern form of the concept glamor is derived from medieval grimoire . The latter meant "secret knowledge or a book with spells." The meaning of the first is "magic, witchcraft spells."
The French Baroque era of the 17th century, the time of the reign of the Sun King, is considered to be the origin of the style. The monarch made his country the center of the secular life of Europe. In those years, clothes became more elegant and luxurious. It can be called the prototype of modern glamorous things.
At the beginning of the 19th century, and then in the 20th century, the influence of appearance and manners on the judgment of a person increased. Brilliant stars of silent cinema became icons of style.
In the 1930s, Hollywood dictated the canons of beauty to the whole world. Movie stars became role models - their outfits were distinguished by luxury and brilliance.
The period of the 40s is the birth of a trend for doll beauty. Women copied the painted charms, the images of which the US military pasted in the barracks.
Glamor acquired its modern meaning in the 50s. At this time, glossy magazines began to be printed - the beautiful images on their pages were far from ordinary everyday ones.
The same period was marked by the appearance of style and glamor icon Marilyn Monroe. She became a recognized standard of beauty.
In 1961, the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's was released. Audrey Hepburn, who played in it, was recognized as the most glamorous film actress.
After the release of Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor in 1963, luxurious Egyptian-themed outfits became fashionable.
The era of the 70s - the heyday of glam rock. He combined pretentiousness and brightness with brutality. Glamorous images began to be created not only by women, but also by men.
In the 90s, the concept of branding appeared. First of all, glamorous clothes included those things that were not only bright, but were also well “promoted”. Glossy magazines were the standard of fashion.
