We are in a clench pit. Enjoy. Feel free to edit this material and make it yours. ;)

In 2025 I am going to become a local glamour photographer. I already have a couple of strobes.

Anybody know whos good in 2024/2025 that I should be studying in this genre? Instagrams, websites whatever. I am looking to get with the current look. Also glamour photography thread, any tips etc.

Current plan is to book a hotel room, shoot a few models with strobes to get the most value out of the location. Frequency separation retouch on the skin, build up an instagram, and once its rolling start charging the girls money.

Alright you motherfuckers, its time for pure SOUL!
I built this piece of shit in 30 mins out of the chassis of some failed repair project and whatever garbage I could find in my trashcan plus a random lens element

it has an aperture made from the lid off a tin of cat food
no shutter, you take the lens cap off and put it back on
manual film advance made from a 120 spool and a bottle cap
and light leaks

Let me guess, you "need" more

How the fuck he did it bros? HOOOOOOOW

For me Edward S Curtis is an absolute towering mammoth of 20th century American photography. What a fucking genius.

what are your sygestions? don't hesitate to give info about your opinions.
pic is the night sky with an exelent moon not being photographed corectly due to phone cam. not proud of it.

There is this thing that happens in photography, (particularly in porn) where the magic veil of the medium is pierced and I realize that what I'm actually looking at is; a man paid a sex workers to take photos of her in a cheap hotel.

Why though? Why does the illusion hold sometimes but not others? I have the vague sense that it has something to do with the depth of field, but that's not all of it. I can't quite put my finger on what exactly causes it, but I've definitely experienced it quite a few times looking at photos. Any thoughts?

I really want to know because it is currently the major fear holding me back from doing shoots with women. I don't want this weird uncanny effect showing up

Can we have a thread on color grading and post?

I'm trying to find some LUTs to imitate fuji on v-log. I know luts aren't nearly as good as simulations, I just want some better color that the basic 1-tone garbage Luts that Panasonic provides: https://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/cinema_camera_varicam_eva/support/lut/index.html

I've seen some really good stuff but it's all in paid packs:

coming from /g/ and /ic/ these prices seem insane for basically messing around with the RGB curves function. My gut says there's a tutorial out there where I can get to 80-90% of this quality in a few hours on my own.

I'm new to this. I like the lighting in this photo, but I have no idea how to post process this to take it from mediocre to great. Any input is greatly appreciated, even if you just want to hop in the thread and call me a fag.
