They instantly made me feel relaxed and the shoot was lots of fun and very professional. I have recommended you to my family and friends for some wedding photography they require and I will certainly be contacting you for further photographs I need.”

There is a way though to record and see all the tones in your photographs and to get some stunning images as a result (do a search for HDR Photos on google and you will see what i mean)

So how do you do it . . . simple!!

1. Set your DSLR to Aperture priority and to shoot RAW files (RAW files give you the most information possible and are much bigger and better than Jpegs for a whole host of reasons)

2. Find “bracketing” in your settings or instruction manual and turn bracketing on for +2 and -2 on the exposure.

3. Set the camera to take multi exposures when you hold the trigger down

You should be all set up now to take an HDR photo, ideally you want the camera on a tripod but if you are outdoors set the aperture to something like f11 – f16 and the shutter speed will be high enough

Once you have all that done, select a subject (landscapes and buildings are the best, people dont do so well in HDR shots) and press the shutter button, keep it pressed down as your camera will take either 3 or 5 photos back to back

When you look at them you will see some really dark shots and some very over exposed shots – dont worry !! this is all to be expected

Once you have your photos downloaded go to the web and go to www.hdrsoft.com and download Photomatix. This is a fully functional version of the software but has a watermark on the finished photos. you only get rid of the watermark by buying the software but this means you can play with the full version for free for as long as you want

When you have photomatix open on your computer just follow the instructions to upload and convert your photos

What happens is that the software looks at all the tones from the lightest to the darkest across all your shots and then creates an image to take advantage of them

The results can be stunning if you dont overdo it!!

Enjoy your photography and let me know if you have any problems

The weather didn’t affect the day and we all got outdoors for the group shots and some fun too

Whether you call it Boudoir or Lingerie or Glamour or indeed Fine Art Photography it is pretty much the same thing, it all comes down to finding what works well for each of our clients. This sort of photography suits all shapes, sizes and ages so if you are 18 or 58 or a size 8 or 18 it doesn’t matter.

Before we even get the camera out we have a good discussion with you over a coffee to find out what you want and then we go and have fun in the studio.

Anne and I are a husband and wife team and we shoot our boudoir sessions together, Nick normally take the photos and Anne is there for words of advice on poses and that certain “look” you want to achieve

If you have never been photographed in this way before don’t give it a second thought, we are there to guide you and take flattering photos of you

Have a look at our website testimonials page www.footprintphoto.biz/testimonials to read first hand what other ladies who have been for a shoot had to say about their experience

If you want to see our gallery of lingerie and boudoir images have a look at http://www.footprintphoto.biz/galleries-wedding-portrait-commercial-pet-photography/lingerie-boudoir-photographer-leeds-york-rotherham-doncaster-harrogate/

On the day of your shoot we will spend as long as necessary talking about your shoot and then about 2 hours in the studio with as many changes of clothing as you like

We did this last week and it was a superb affair
