"Glamour" is one of those used, abused, and "I know it when it see it" terms. Which means it belongs here in the fun & games department. smile

So: Which photo in the port of the person above you would you consider the best (or least bad) example of a "glamour" photo?

(Be sure to provide 18+/mature warnings as appropriate.)

Is the only one I see in your portfolio.

An interesting example of how views on "glamour" differ. I'd call that one of mine merely a good pin-up photo, rather than something that achieves glamour.

In return, I'll say that the top photo of this: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/27831327 (18+) is your best example of glamour.

I did consider

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/140326/12/53332d87e82f4_m.jpg

because in my view "glamour" doesn't have to be "sexy." However, the effect of that photo is a bit different from what I consider to be glamour.

I'm using another definition of 'glamour' - think Hollywood publicity photos from the 40's - think George Platt Lynes and Gore Vidal (Specifically, George Platt Lynes photographing Gore Vidal)

It was a hard choice, but I'd go with this -

I don't have any glamour shots, I've never worked for Glamour Shots. I suggest the next person choose another person from this thread, and choose their best glamour shot.

Glamour doesn't have to be sexy (IMHO). It can be luxury-glamour, or nostalgia-glamour, or adventure-glamour, or pastoral-glamour, or even some other kind of glamour. 

But I'll take you at your word and pick this one from Lady Gigi's portfolio:

https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/130810/21/520710ea8228c_m.jpg

It's not sexy-glamor, but rather something along the lines of pastoral-glamour or nostalgia-glamour.

I've never heard of pastoral-glamour or nostalgia-glamour, thanks.

Not "conventionally" glamourous, but still glamourous, nonetheless. (It's that illusion of casual magic that does it, I think.)
