Boudoir Art is a field of photography that intends to present the subject in her most beautiful form. "Boudoir" is French for "lady's bedroom". Its literal translation might lead you to think that this genre goes hand in hand with sexual innuendo but that is not the ambition of Boudoir Art. Women feel the need to be sexy, to be beautiful, and to be regarded with admiration and not shameless lust. Although the latter might be an unavoidable reaction to this sexy art, it exists mainly to enable women to channel their beauty and sexuality through images of themselves. There are six distinct styles available for them to do so: classic beauty, fashion, artistic, pin-up, sensual, and provocative.
Boudoir Portraits can be tricky. The model and photographer have to work together to capture the perfect pose and composition for the photo and draw out the correct response from its viewers: For a portrait of classic beauty; the model must look undoubtedly beautiful and capturing her sexuality only becomes second priority. For Fashion Boudoir Art, popular culture becomes the foundation. This is what you commonly see in various advertisements. The artistic style highlights the form of the subject instead of the face. For the sensual style, the goal is to depict someone as free and desirable. Its effect to an audience is inviting. For an image that is provocative, its main purpose is to capture and hold the spectator's attention.
Pin-up photography is known to be the style that is both cute and sexy. The model's expression and body language have to be playful and in sync with each other. The photographer must ensure that every part of the subject's body is correctly positioned. Since images are usually viewed in thirds, the photographer must look at the model in three dimensions. He must first consider the subject from the waist down. This means that he has to check on the upper thighs and buttocks, lower thighs and calves, and her feet and toes. Next on the list is her torso, arms, and hands; the bust has to be given attention as well. Last of the three body sections involve the neck, face, and hair. You may think that a misplaced strand cannot possibly cause any drastic effect but imagine how it can ruin the mood of a photo. It can be such a disaster.

The Beauty Of Venice Black And White Fine Art Photography
Venice is a beautiful city which was founded more than 1,500 years ago and to this day remains full of intrigue and romance. Stretching across 117 islands, more than 150 canals link the city with 409 bridges connecting the islands. It is unique because there are no cars as the maritime section of Venice has no streets, only narrow paths and footbridges. Most of the travel within Venice is done on foot or by water. Any tourist to this amazing city must take a camera so as to capture the beauty of Venice black and white mystique or the colorful Venetian carnivals.
The Piazza San Marco is the main square in Venice with the Basilica of San Marco situated at one end and wonderful buildings of architectural grandeur all around the square, one of which, the Procuratie Nuove houses the Correr Museum. As the Piazza San Marco is the lowest point in Venice, it tends to flood, which is inconvenient for the Venetians, but which provides a unique experience and a great opportunity for tourists to capture this in black and white. Imagine adding a framed black and white print of this to your collection of Venice pictures.
One of the most famous and romantic features of Venice are the gondolas. They are instantly associated the world over with the waterways of Venice, and provide an unusual means of transport between destinations, taking their passengers on journeys along the Grand canal or perhaps under the Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge) or the Ponte dei Sospiri (Bridge of Sighs). A Trip on The Grand Canal can be particularly mesmerising and beautiful in the evening, because of the reflections in the water of the amazing architecture.
One eye-catching display can be achieved in home interiors by arranging a collection of black and white posters featuring different views of Venice which include gondolas; perhaps taken from an unusual angle, or shown on a foggy day.
Venice is full of wonderful architecture such as the Basilica of San Marco which is one of the most famous sights associated with Venice. Full of history, it was first built in the 9th century as a shrine to St. Mark, but the building as it is today is not the original one, that one having been destroyed by fire. It is truly amazing with its domed exterior, and it houses many precious statues, carvings and mosaics.
The timeless elegance of black and white photography prints enables the beauty and wonderment of Venice to show through, whether it be the narrow alleys and tall buildings with washing hung out overhead, or perhaps the fireworks at the Festival of Redentore.
The Ca' Rezzonico is a 17th century baroque mansion which faces onto the Grand Canal and which has hosted many sumptuous costume balls over the years. The English poet, Robert Browning lived there until his death. It contains a fantastic series of ceiling frescoes by Tiepolo and a most magnificent ballroom and one can almost feel the atmosphere of life as it would have been in a Venetian palace in days gone by. Bring the magic of Venice into your home with black and white photography prints. Fine art photography prints of Venice would make a wonderful Christmas present for a loved one, or as a special personal gift as a reminder of a happy time spent there.
