It’s just a shirt right?

Sometimes you really wonder what to shoot.
Especially with glamour I always feel this problem, don’t get me wrong I love shooting glamour images, although my main focus is with fashion, but when a model is standing in front of the camera it’s always a challenge for me to find something that is unique and will get the model into a mood that she really enjoys the session. Over the years I’ve tried several things and although some have been really successful I think the one that is the most fun is the …. shirt.

 

Now a shirt is a wide concept of course, you can think about anything that stretches.
During the session just let your model play with the material and shoot, this way you don’t have to “push” your model into poses and really get a cool playful look in your session, the fun part is, it’s always different.

 

Some samples I shot over the last few months with stretching material during the workshops/sessions.
Some images can be considered NSFW but I personally think they will be ok.

 And sometimes just a mans shirt and a great expression is enough.

    Frank I’m still learning lighting techniques (including watching your videos on Kelby Training, great stuff!) and I’m curious about the lighting in the first 2 images.

    It looks very directional but not too harsh. Could you share with us what you used? I’m thinking maybe like a small softbox with a grid on it to keep it directional and focused?
