Man Up! — Boudoir For Him
Speaker: Pam Fields
Are you ready to embrace the daring and sensual side of male boudoir photography? In this class, we will briefly explore the rising popularity of men seeking out a boudoir experience for themselves and delve into how you can incorporate this growing client base into your brand. I will quickly walk you through how I work with male clients building rapport and how I use the clients natural movements and body language to capture seductive poses. Then, you will have the opportunity to create images for your portfolio.
