In the years before Becoming the best South Florida wedding photographer I had the unique opportunity to produce photography for Playboy. \u00a0 In this post, \u00a0I’ll share my experiences and what I learned about making woman and brides look beautiful type images. \u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

This post is still being updated. \u00a0While it’s live it is not complete.<\/span><\/p>\n

This article includes plenty of links with examples on how to look your best in front of the camera. \u00a0Working for Playboy has afforded to the luxury of learning how to make all woman beautiful. \u00a0In the years that I have shot for Playboy one thing is certain. \u00a0It’s a professional hard core company. \u00a0One might think that because it’s Playboy there is a level of unprofessional conduct. \u00a0In my experience, this has not been the case. \u00a0As a matter of fact, Christy Hefner<\/a> \u00a0Who was running Playboy during the time I was shooting for them demanded a high level of professionalism. \u00a0Actually at one point Christy Hefner was named the longest serving female CEO of any publicly traded company. \u00a0 \u00a0While naked woman were photographed, not all the images I created were of naked woman. \u00a0The photographic mission of Playboy was the creation of beautiful female imagery. \u00a0For me, Playboy was a tough job. \u00a0Every image was scrutinized for lighting, image sharpness, exposure, composition and artistic value. \u00a0This meant eyes must look good, skin tone needed to be correct, every aspect of every picture I captured was considered. \u00a0On one hand, yea I’m shooting some naked women, on the other hand, there was pressure to produce perfect images over and over sometimes with limited time and a crew of different people all with unique agendas. \u00a0 It was fun, when I was getting it right, fun when 10 different people approved my work, not fun when 3 of the 10 had artistic issues. \u00a0Not fun when a girl had a bad day. \u00a0Attitude on the part of the photographer (ME) \u00a0was critical. \u00a0I had to smile, put the models at ease, project confidence, have a complete level of control over my lighting, my equipment, and my poses. \u00a0There was no being unsure of yourself when posing, \u00a0if a pose didn’t look good it was extremely important to flow into a new pose and project the attitude that, this was my intention and I’m in control. \u00a0Any hesitation, any sort of confusion would be looked at as if I was unprepared or lacked posing ability. \u00a0 \u00a0It was a job that everyone wanted and everyone thought they could do it better me, however during the time I shot for Playboy, I watched may photographers come and go. \u00a0I also watched several top company executives get fired. \u00a0“Im sorry, not fired, they moved on the other opportunities.” \u00a0My photo assignments with Playboy came to an end when I left Los Angeles and relocated to South Florida.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Shot<\/p>\n

Woman Always look great when the picture is taken from a higher angle. \u00a0This works for couples, families and YES, Playboy models. \u00a0Check out these links to wedding pictures that were also shot from a high angle. \u00a0\u00a0Bride and groom photographed from a high angle<\/a>. \u00a0 If you clicked through the wedding picture, you will see that the high angle perspective is very flattering. \u00a0In this case of high angle camera shots it’s important to get the head tilt right. \u00a0This this shot, I had the couple tilt their heads away from the camera, just enough to show their faces. \u00a0 Here is another wedding picture taken from a high angle. \u00a0Bride and groom photographed from above<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shooting for Playboy sometimes meant the photographer needs to shoot fast and accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. \u00a0This is also expected from the best South Florida wedding photographers. \u00a0Often the studio was contracted for a specific set of hours, in the case of a live show, pictures had to be done, before the show, between scenes, of in the few minutes after the broadcast. \u00a0 Working for playboy often meant as the photographer I needed to work fast and had limited time. \u00a0Sometimes in the studio I had plenty of time. \u00a0I could take me time, set up the shot, review the shot and take more. \u00a0Other times I was on a set with many other production personal. \u00a0This meant everyone had a job to do and while the pictures had to be perfect they also needed to be done fast. \u00a0Often there were hold ups, hair and makeup sometimes took longer than expected. \u00a0 Many times I was second to the videographer. \u00a0This meant I needed to stay out of the videographers way but get my photos as well. \u00a0This situation easily translates to South Florida wedding photography. \u00a0May of the weddings I shoot have video, while we offer video in some of our packages, it’s very important that the videographer and photographer work well together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Often time is of the essence. \u00a0In the case of a live tv shoot or a wedding ceremony. \u00a0The time indicated on the timeline is set in stone.<\/h2>\n

What does this mean and how does it relate to Playboy tv and wedding ceremonies? \u00a0Simple, in the case of a live tv broadcast, (and Playboy did plenty of live broadcasts) the start time is not negotiable. \u00a0When a show is live at 11:00am that means at 11:00am if the hair and makeup isn’t done, too bad, we shoot with incomplete hair and make up. \u00a0This is true with all live scheduled shoots. \u00a0For me, as one of the best South Florida wedding photographers, I found this to be very frustrating and I had to really focus on the time line way before the wedding day. \u00a0 When a bridal client hires me, one of the first things I do is create a photography timeline, sequences such as First Look, Bride’s family, wedding party are all scheduled, same is true for many of the Playboy assignment. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shooting for Playboy has taught me how to make woman look their best.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

BELOW: \u00a0I shot a lot of advertisements for the networks. \u00a0These ad shots needed to be clean and not too sexy. \u00a0In the case of the advertisements everyone said Victoria’s Secret was allowed to show more than us. \u00a0In some cases the advertisements didn’t even show people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

BELOW: \u00a0For the ad below I traveled around LA shooting in an empty football stadium, at an amusement park early in the morning an the empty bowling alley. \u00a0Shooting ad was common, they always needed mainstream advertising and since the ads had to be placed in popular magazines they had to be clean.<\/p>\n

BELOW: One of my favorite playboy personalities was Julie Strain<\/a> from the Playboy show “Sex Court”<\/a>. Julie was such a unique and fun character. \u00a0I loved the fact that she always went to bat for me if I had an idea. \u00a0I remember when I shot the Sex Court ad below I got some blow back because I had this idea for this shot and it took be some time to set up. \u00a0 \u00a0I had to grab some apple boxes <\/a>\u00a0position the girl in the forground so that her l<\/a>egs\u00a0fit the shot perfectly, \u00a0I had to play around with the lens focal length to and my position to make this fit. \u00a0It took me about 3 minutes to get this shot, and no one was happy that I spent time doing this. \u00a0Julie, was super cool and just said, let him get this. \u00a0The lighting isn’t perfect and I sort of whipped this one out, but they did use it for an ad.<\/p>\n
