High Speed Glamour Retouch | Mikaela Joy: Savannah Glamour Portrait Photographer

How about a little look behind the scenes today?

As you all know, I've been working on something a bit out of my norm lately- glamour photography.  I'm intrigued by the makeup, the posing, the retouching- all the things that go on behind the scenes to get the shot.

So many of us women are filled with dread when we look at pictures of ourselves.  I'm sure you know what I mean.  That little notification pops up on facebook that says someone tagged you in a photo and you have to prepare yourself for what you are about to see.  And then it comes up and everything you are self conscious about hits you like a ton of bricks.  I hear it all the time- "I don't like my nose," or "my arms look fat in that photo."  Heck, I often have those same thoughts when I see photos of myself.

Eryn posses one of my favorite qualities in a model- she's up for anything.  She showed up with a smile on her face and a perfect outfit, despite the fact that I had only given her a day's notice.  More impressively, she was unphased by my little helper, laughing as he tried to flirt with her.

Since it was such an impromptu shoot (I seem to be developing a habit here), we decided to keep it carefree with a more candid feel.  These are my favorite types of shots because they really showcase the personality of the model.  When I think of Eryn I think of vintage glamour, and I feel like that's what we captured here.
