Here Are 3 Ways to Shoot Beautiful Boudoir Photos in a Small Room (VIDEO)

You don't need big elaborate sets or a large studio to shoot sensuous, cinematic boudoir photos. In the below video, pro boudoir photographer Michael Sasser shows you three techniques to capture beautiful boudoir images in a small room.

"This was a fun and challenging video to make because I don't usually shoot in small spaces or studios," Sasser says. "This was a very small hotel to shoot in and was hard for my 50mm to capture everything I wanted to when taking pictures. These are three of the techniques or tips that I use when I have to take pictures in a small space like this. Shooting from above or below changes the perspective of the picture and adds another dimension to the room. Shooting through something or using something as a foreground object adds depth to your portraits. Shooting detail photos is a great way to upsell in an album."

The tutorial below emerged because the Los Angeles-based Sasser was in New York City for a workshop. And as anyone who's traveled to NYC knows, the hotel rooms in the city can be really, really tiny, which gave him the idea for the video how-to.

"This place can barely fit this bed," Sasser says in the clip. "Now I worked really hard in Los Angeles to find the perfect space: a spot with big windows; a spot with good light that's got nice floors in a deep space so that I could shoot exactly what I want to shoot. But I know that's not the case for everybody. A lot of people are shooting in these smaller spaces, so I wanted to make this video of three little techniques I use when I do have to shoot in small spaces and hopefully these are going to help you guys out for when you have to as well."
