FOREWORD:

Glamour - A Perspective

What is GLAMOUR photography? After perusing mountains of books over lots of years I have come to the conclusion that it is whatever you think it is since it seems to mean different things to different people. For my own work I treat the subject as being something between a formal portrait and an artistic figure study. For example the model can use facial expressions usually reserved a formal portrait whilst revealing parts normally reserved for a figure study. Add to that swimwear, lingerie or any other skimpy attire and you may have a glamour picture. Of course swimwear and lingerie can be used in other work, for instance fashion, without it being a glamour picture, so it would seem that the real thing that may separate glamour picture from anything else is the models expression. In any people picture I feel it is the eyes that predominately convey the context of the image and so regardless of attire maybe any image could be deliberately moved into the glamour category. Anyway, in this book I have concentrated on excluding both formal portraits and artistic figure studies which leaves me with pictures that I classify as glamour. I leave you to make your own mind up whether all, or any, are glamour pictures in your eyes.
