Has anyone here ever posed for a professional portrait session or photo shoot?
Lately Ive been obsessed with checking out the Plus Size Pay Site board and admiring how glamorous, confident and creative the ladies and photography are on there. I know its their job, but I imagine it must be so much fun to do a one-off session to have as a keepsake! Ive got friends on Facebook who have done them, but Im wondering what the experience is like as a BBW?
Ive been scouring Google for BBW photographers who specialise in photographing the bigger form (and subsequently appreciate and understand it), but what are peoples experiences with going in front of the camera specifically to show off their figure and get an honest, fun portrayal of themselves? I regarded myself as pretty relaxed until I started considering a photo shoot, so what did it do for your confidence before and after?
My reason for asking is that I want to make a serious effort in the dating scene by investing in some portraits of myself that arent taken in my room with a digital camera! Dating websites are full of MySpace-style poses in bathrooms and poorly lit bedrooms, and I want to psyche myself up to trying something special.
Please someone give me their thoughts on this, and if youre a photographer, itd be great to hear from you too!
