The media could not be loaded. Writer Jen Rozenbaum’s concept is a simple one: you need sixty separate techniques for putting together dynamite boudoir photographs. Going beyond the basics, Rozenbaum offers the nuanced tweaks and details required to really make your work stand out.Covering lenses, wardrobe choices, and lighting, Rozenbaum gets at the little things which turn a boudoir photo shoot from good to wow. For her, confidence is a must as her own helps elicit it in her subjects.The book gets straight to the point, and even skips an introduction. The photographs do all the talking. Lighting setups are varied but are often simple, including the use of natural light. The models are of every imaginable body type and all diverse backgrounds and looks. Most importantly, author Rozenbaum gives the explanations behind her choices. She both shows and tells how she got from concept to finished product.Written in a refreshing and clear style, this book offers technical information in an easy to comprehend format and style.

I started reading it immediately after unboxing. This book just gets straight to the point. The author doesn't even have an introduction page. You don't have to read all types of fluff first to get to the "meat" of the project. Ms. Rozenbaum simply lets her photos do the bragging. I was amazed at how simple her lighting set ups were. A good majority were natural light shots. It's really easy just finding a page you like and referencing it because her tips are immediate. My ONLY caveat, is that I wish she would have taken up at least one page on PS or LR editing/retouching. Clearly some if not all of the photos were and I would have liked a little more information about that. But I guess, some things can be our interpretation. Great book especially for the price.

The addition of the lighting placement is a tremendous help! The poses looked simple enough however I was disappointed it did not include women of plus size.

excellent book, which allows you to get a clearer vision of poses. it usually specifies the characteristics of each position. I recommend it.

The content was good, but I found the layout awkward to use. Many of the photos were small with large areas of empty space on the page. The text could have been placed around the small images to avoid jumping from page to page to see what the author was describing.

Great book! I love the photos and the descriptions too. I was really excited when it arrived and read the whole thing immediately. I recommend this book for anyone looking to learn a lot about boudoir and photography in general.

All sorts of helpful tips in this book. The fun begins in the set up and then it gets better

Jenn Rozenbaum is, undoubtedly, the leader in boudoir photography. This book is a very easy read and understand. None of that "I'm better than you" self worship that a lot of photography books have. Just love this!

My husband bought me this book since I am now putting a focus on boudoir and maternity. It’s just what I need to get a handle on posing in the studio. Thank you Jen!

Das Buch ist sehr schwach.

Poorly formatted for kindle. Pictures are small and nor resizeable, as well as lighting setups. Font can be resized... but that's the less relevant in a Photography book. For my, in a Photography book photography quality, resizing and management is a must. Deeply disappointed.

I am an amateur photographer and it is written in a simple way, easy to understand. So 5 stars for me

Excellent book. When combined with her posing and lingerie guides, you don't need anything else to start shooting boudoir.
