Images I shot after applying what I learning from Jen’s Boudoir Cookbook Final Thoughts That said, this book feels much nicer than your average paperback and has held up for quite a while in my home without deteriorating. I have never been fond of paperback books I have two kids and paperback books don’t tend to last very long in my home. I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the book itself – as in the paper and such. Only 124 pages – I could have easily consumed twice that.Thoughts on posing and working with your subjects. ‘Ingredients’ for each image to help you see what went into the shot.Not just a ‘Look At My Pretty Pictures’ book.Recently, in several shoots, I was able to take advantage of some of the things that I picked up from this book and I think it was a huge help in improving the overall look and feel of the images that I shot. These are things that one could deduce, partially, by breaking down an image on its own, as I had done in the past with some of these images, but it was nice to see actual diagrams to confirm or fix my initial thoughts. I was now able to see how her subject was placed in relation to her light source and then how she was positioned for the shot. I have followed Jen a lot in my journey to becoming a better boudoir photographer and I had already seen a lot of the images in this book in her other workshops and educational products, but the lighting diagrams were new (to me, at least). One of the things that helped me the most in the book itself was the actual lighting diagrams. I came for the photo recipes, but I got a lot more great information than that. That said, this book is not all ‘How Jen Shot It’, there is also a ton of great information on shooting Boudoir in general things like getting your subject into the right frame of mind, an intimate vs. But I was really happy to see that I took to the format of the book rather quickly. I like to watch tutorials and visually see another photographer’s work, so I was not sure how I would like learning from a physical book. Now, if I am honest, I have never been one to read a lot of physical books. Think of it sort of like one of our ‘How We Shot It’ posts, except in a physical book. Jen shares 60 different looks, or ‘recipes’, and tells you how she went about shooting that image – complete with lighting diagrams and other relevant information. The premise of the new book is that it is laid out like a photographer’s version of a cookbook.
