Many clients ask what the difference is between Artistic Nudes and Glamour Nudes. What I tell them is the following. This is my opinion of the difference and the guide I go by.
In Artistic Nudes the focus is on the shape, form, and lines of the human form. The lighting can be simple or complex to get just the right amount of light and shadows. The focus isn’t the face and the sensuality of the shots, it’s an artistic expression of the human body.
In Glamour Nudes the focus is on the beauty and sensuality of the person. More about the sexiness and appeal of the moment. When I think of Glamour Nudes I think more like playboy style nudes. The image evokes a sensuality that captures the viewer for the moment.
Most of my clients decide on the style based on what the final images are for. Most decide on Artistic Nudes if they intend to display the images in their homes – not that a Glamour Nude would be out of place, but the artistic look of an Art Nude quickly becomes something that they want to have displayed for all to see.
We look forward to booking an Art Nude or Glamour Nude session for you at Casual Elegance Photography.
