The Best Beginner Boudoir Photography Camera

[@tinawilkerson2050]

Boudoir is important to me because after a marriage of 17 years and being always told "you'd be pretty IF..." I never felt like I was enough... UNTIL I had a boudoir shoot myself and then I was like HOLY HELL I'M FREAKING AMAZING JUST LIKE I AM! And then when I started shooting boudoir, dude, I thought there was no better feeling than having a boudoir shoot for myself until I was able to help someone else have those same feelings!

[@douglasbrowne362]

Boudoir photography has given me so much contentment and joy, theres no other type of photography that I've done that could make me cry when my clients cry after seeing thier images. Its 100% what I want to do for the rest of my career

[@davidwarren7279]

Boudoir is important to me become so many women think they’re not beautiful, and being able to show them that they are brings so much joy to their faces, and seeing that brings joy to me.

[@cyberwaste]

Good luck to people who enter. I have a Nikon Z6 and am very happy. I think boudoir is interesting and something I'd like to try. Michael's videos have given so many great tips about it. I'm still hesitant to go for it as there seem to be a lot of negative perceptions some people have. I think people are the most interesting subjects, and I think for some of them, a boudoir setting is where they feel they most openly express themselves. Anyway, good luck and happy shooting to all.

[@Rene-cm6go]

@Neil Brooks Hi.. I like to ask you about Z6. I have Z6 and I'm not sure which lenses to use. For Z there is 50.1.8 or 35 1.8 or 85 1.8. 50mm 1.2 is to expensive for me at the moment. What about F mount with FTZ adapter? Thanks

[@smdvisionphotography]

Personally, boudoir helps me facilitate any client with any body image issues, also assisting them to be incredibly empowered. Most importantly, I'll be part of something special like anniversaries and birthdays, or life milestones such as pregnancy and weight loss, or even as a way to celebrate overcoming domestic violence or breast cancer. Being able to serve my client is an award in itself!!!

[@johnsteudle3481]

I love my RP! I have had it for a couple years now and it has been great! I just shot my first dudoir session last weekend and it went great and the RP made it a great experience!

[@mckenziehome5128]

Boudoir is the first genre of photography that calls to me, being able to capture prior in their rawest purest form just calms my soul somehow.... I just really enjoy looking at people, I mean REALLY looking at people.

[@xmlthegreat]

Having not actually done this genre and only here to learn, I feel differently. Like boudoir is more performative but for the model that performance requires digging down deep to access authentic emotion, which then makes it through to the shot. You have to want to be there and exude that sensuality so physically it's a performance but mentally it's the truth? I dunno, just what I feel.

[@Leoboe]

I saved up a few years and finally bought an eos r with an old Ef 50mm last year. Just wanted to say how much I learned through this channel and hope to do more boudoir in the future. I’m more of a studio photographer and really enjoy to make my clients feel like a model and see their confidence rise throughout the shoot after seeing the first awesome shot. Keep it up and continue teaching & learning :)

[@tcmbrown]

Done and done! Love my EOS RP. Ive gotten a good 500-550 photos out of one full battery charge. I use it for weddings and even rent a 2nd one as well.

[@Qurayshijial]

i wanted to get into boudoir since i started following and watching your videos I have been studying every video of yours i trying to find where i belong in the photography world and after watching you shoot i found it i been telling people that this is what i wanna do and just trying to prove myself i can't really afford another camera on my own right now but imma get there even i if don't win this i wish the best for the person who does and i am just grateful if you read this or at least like thanks for the knowledge and laughs have a piece of chocolate and smile

[@wendell52688]

Just bought your presets this week. They really blew me away even though I'm still rocking a 5D classic. My client loved her photos and couldn't wait to show her friends. Thanks for the great boudoir videos. I really have fallen for the beauty of natural light photography coming from always using strobes.

[@GonzaloB69]

Boudoir is what make me posible to be independent, and to go over depresion, and I coul not be more gratefull with this job.

[@turbocharged339]

Boudoir is extremely important to me because today more than ever today there is so much social pressures on women. I want to show women that they can be themselves and embrace every single journey each one or face! Boudoir provides that empowering reminder for many! 🖤🖤 you rock and so does your Course it’s the reason I’m successful today! - Desarae Starck

[@psanchez348]

Boudoir is all about lighting and definitely something I want to learn, as well as its really empowering to woman/men. A real confidence booster.

[@RochelNilendra]

I still use a 6D with a 24-105 f4. Love the 6D because of its low light performance. Thinking to upgrade to Eos RP with the RF 50mm f1.8

[@wanderlust9609]

Boudoir to me is helping an individual take back their identity. Especially after the year we have had in 2020, I think so many have lost a part of who they are and photographing them in their most vulnerable state is one way to help them love and appreciate the body that makes them who they are. It helps them see past what the world sees and rebuild their identity or maybe even grow into a newer, improved version of their past self. If I can help be a positive part of that change, then I know I will have been doing my job right.

[@Ghostblaze721]

When I had my first boudoir photo shoot with my friend Joy and she wanted me to be her photographer. She almost got confidences when she saw her picture I took. But when I said, don't worry we can try again and keep on going to get better capture moments and I also told her that, you have beautiful soul inside and outside, no matter what! She wanted to try again and I wanted to study more boudoir and do need wide angle lens upgrade to take whole room picture. I also got another friend asked me to do boudoir as well. I keep on learning and watching your boudoir photography. That's is why it is important to me to learns.

[@JDarriuz]

Definitely wanna learn this more thanks for advice !!!

[@RachelSmith-cs8jy]

To me boudoir is a chance to really boost someone's confidence, you dont have to have the perfect body in societies eyes to really see how beautiful you are. I like making people feel good about themselves after I do a shoot and that is what fuels me to only get better!

[@DmitrySinyagin]

The model is beautiful! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Ollinho12]

Just purchased the RP + the RF 50mm thanks to your recommendation. Love your work, work ethic and the production quality of your content.

[@KimberlyCampara]

Omg! I have been wanting to transition over to boudoir for a while now. After having a few brides ask for them I knew I was making the right choice. I have literally binged watch all of your videos. This is my first comment on KZbin as well. I have followed your rules, win or not, I will always tell people that you were my mentor and inspiration.

[@MichaelSasser]

You should!

[@BrianMakesFilms]

This morning I was literally just thinking "man, I wonder what happened to Michael? Did he give up on youtube?" Boom, video drop. I'm definitely hoping to get back into boudoir videography in the next month or two. Covid really complicated everything, but hopefully now it's going to get a lot better very soon. I definitely appreciate your inspiration and tutorials here. I've learned a lot.

[@MichaelSasser]

Looking at getting some more things up!

[@josh_kae]

I'm just an amateur photographer, but I would love to get into boudoir photography. I think it is such an impactful way to bring out the beauty, as well as confidence, in people.

[@larryhaley3]

Love your channel and content Michael! So, Boudoir is one of the most powerful forms of photography in my opinion. It is important to me because it is massively empowering. Not only to the photographer or creator, but for the models or everyday man or woman who can experience it as well. Having the ability to help someone see themselves in a way they normally don't or cant everyday is magical. A full frame body and a prime lens would take me helping others enjoy their own beauty to an entirely new level. Good luck to everyone!

[@wildblueworld]

Hello Michael ! Well, I'm 2 days too late for the Feb 1st giveaway but, have a question for you. I have a Canon EOS 80D (yeah, Canon lol), a crop-sensor that takes both EF and EF-S lenses. Since I can't afford right now to purchase any other camera, what your opinion is about shooting Boudoir on the Canon 80D ? Thanks in advance, cheers !!

[@PirataDeBoriquen]

You're the best and definitely an inspiration!! Thanks Sasser!!! 🙏🏼

[@bhargo619]

To me boudoir is a way to to show my vision of beauty, to show the person getting shoot that they are amazing, show them that they are gorgeous, and after showing them their beauty see their expression, see that you improved their day even boosted her confidence, thats boudoir for me achieve fullfilness in giving the client a way to feel and keep feeling like a godess.

[@gloriaalexis8128]

I grew up in a very conservative home which means that even looking in the mirror while wearing lingere made me feel like I was going against Gods wishes. For the longest time I even struggled to understand what sexy is and how to even be sexy. When I discovered boudoir, everything that I learned was wrong was what I was mostly drawn to. I was shooting conservative photos in the beginning, but after my second boudoir shoot, suddenly everything made so so much sense. I have fallen inlove with the boudoir world because it is about power, confidence and exploring your feminity or masculinity. My clients have started to move differently because I am not just hiding behind the camera anymore. It is like the cliché the stars were alligned when I started shooting boudoir.

[@MrV2u]

Boudoir is important to make women/men feel empowered. They can see their true beauty no matter the shape, weight, or imperfections they feel they have.

[@IncognitoSprax]

Just did my first Boudoir shoot not too long ago. Finally got over the hump of being too nervous thanks to imposture syndrome and being a super perfectionist, yours videos helped with that, that and spending money on a 5DMarkIV as an upgrade from my free 350D kind of forced it lol. I should have been bought I flash and softbox imo.

[@jimmyhinAK]

Curious to know if you use manual focus lens vintage or any other type. Love your work you really accentuate the women’s natural beauty .

[@DoodlingTom]

You definitely don’t need a full frame camera. If you’re comparing full frame to a rebel xti, then yes, I would say full frame all the way. However if I’m comparing my old canon RP or my Sony a7iii to my Fuji X series cameras, Fujifilm competes just as well as the others. I have never met anyone who saw one of my Fuji images and asked if it was full frame or not. If anything I get more praise because of the superior colors of Fuji. The only time I would grab another camera over Fuji is if I needed better autofocus. And even then, Fuji is getting better in that department. That said, I do love canon and I would recommend the RP for someone looking to get into canon.

[@nz358]

My uncle has a Canon EOS Rebel t6i he is willing to sell to me with 3 lenses (cant remember the specs but one is telephoto and one is wide angle). I would be using them for self-made boudoir pics and some videos. With the video option being needed, would you still suggest the Canon Eos RP?

In so many of the into camera for anything videos, no one really ever talks about subtleties of image quality. Example: Canon makes some of the best physical hardware you can want. Their performance is on par with or better than anything else, but they're behind the curve in image quality. Let me explain. I'm not talking about a perfectly exposed photo. Any camera can do well when everything is right. But what about when you want to really push the file (for creative reasons or because of a mistake). Most Nikon and Fuji cameras (and a number of Sony cameras) have sensors that are ISO invariant or close to it. If you're not familiar with that, in short it's shadow detail. The amount of clean detail the camera can capture that can be pulled out of the RAW file. On average you can recover 4-5 stops of detail with little to no penalty on an iso invariant camera. This allows you to underexpose the RAW file at a lower ISO to hold in highlights and lift those shadow details to desired levels with little to no noise penalty. Not a recommended workflow with a Canon. Shooting a GFX camera, you no doubt know how great and flexible those RAW files are. The kicker is that Fuji X series (their APS C cameras ) behave like this too. You can get some beautiful fast glass as well all on a relatively cheap body. An XE3 with a 23/2 (35 equiv) and 50/2 (75 equiv) lens can be had for just over $1200 in many places and that's a lot of camera for a little bit of cash. Arguably out of the full 35mm frame cameras you talked about, the Z5 with their 50/1.8 would arguably be the best bang for the buck when you take that kind of image quality into account. The Nikkor 50/1.8S lens (expensive for a 1.8 50mm lens) rivals some of the best 50mm lenses on the planet many times more expensive than it. Sorry for the extra nerd talk. Thanks for your content. I would love to see you really geek out on the GFX camera and lenses more. They're like the best kept secret for some absolutely mind blowing image quality that doesn't break the bank.
