The Good Fight, Why Glamour isn’t Dead

Glamour photography is a type of photography that focuses on showcasing the beauty of its subject through the use of artistic lighting, poses, and makeup. It has been around for many decades and has evolved over time. Its origins can be traced back to the 1920s when it was used mostly for magazine covers and advertisements. The style continued to be popular in Hollywood throughout the 1930s-50s, when it was used to capture the beauty of Hollywood stars. In the 1960s, glamour photography began to blur the lines between art and eroticism, and it has been used to capture the beauty of models, celebrities, and everyday people ever since. Today, glamour photography has become an art form used by many professional photographers to create beautiful and timeless images.

Glamour photography has sometimes been seen as a taboo or stigmatized art form, due to its use of nudity or suggestive poses. However, many photographers and models alike see it as an empowering and creative way to express themselves. It is important to remember that these images are works of art that are meant to be appreciated and enjoyed. As long as the models are comfortable and the photos are taken with their consent, glamour photography can be a wonderful way to show beauty and artistry. This extends into post-processing as well.

The use of Photoshop in glamour photography can be a great way to enhance the beauty of a photo and give it a more polished and professional look. It can also be used to accentuate features or take an image from photo to digital art with the use of heavy manipulation.

Glamour photography is becoming increasingly popular in recent years. It allows people to express their individuality and show off their own unique style. Glamour photography can also be used to create stunning pictures for a portfolio, for advertising, or for personal use. At Venya Portrait we like to create images that make a statement about beauty and fashion.

Remember the idea of glamour photography is not to look like yourself, but to feel glamourous and celebrity like.
