We’ve been featuring more and more boudoir photography how-to stories and videos on Shutterbug.com, and the response from readers has been positive. So, here’s another great boudoir how-to video, this time from Photo-Me-Ike, who we featured a few days ago with a lighting test video.

Inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s quote, “I don’t mind living in a man’s world, as long as I can be a woman in it,” photographer Mandira Bahl set off in early 2017 to document the lives and rides of Sirens MC, New York City’s oldest and largest women’s biker group. We recently caught up with Bahl to find out more about the project and how she became interested in telling the story of these “Tough Beauties.”

Julia Trotti is one of our favorite photographers for swimwear photography tips videos and she’s back with another one, which features a shootout between two popular cameras. In the video below, Trotti pits her trusty Canon 5D Mark III DSLR against the underdog Sony A7 II mirrorless camera while photographing her model, Jax, in a variety of swimsuits on the beach.

One of the hardest things about photographing birds is that they usually know you’re there. Whether it’s by seeing, smelling, or hearing you, our fine feathered friends are always acutely aware of your presence, especially when you have a giant telephoto lens pointed at them.
