    When people hear the words “glamour photography” they almost immediately think of retail photography outlets like Glamour Shots that became popular in the 1990’s. In reality though, glamour photography has been around as long as the camera. Examples of glamour photography can be found around us everywhere from wedding portraits, websites, billboard advertisements and on the pages of most popular consumer magazines.

    According to Wikipedia, glamour photography is, “a genre of photography where the subjects, usually female, are depicted in a romantic or alluring way”.

    Aggie, Headshot for Model | Mike Robison PhotographyUnderstanding the Mysteries of TFP
