Glamour photography is the photographing of a model to emphasize the subject, instead of the fashions or products endorsed.
Today, nude or semi-nude glamour pictures models appear in softcore publications like Playboy, Perfect 10, or in the pages of tabloid newspapers like Britain's The Sun's Page 3; however, glamour photography does not have to include nudity as evidenced today by the many lad mags.
Standards of glamour photography have changed over time, reflecting changes in social mores. For example, in the early 1920s in the USA, photographers like Ruth Harriet Louise photographed celebrities to glamourise their stature. During World War II pin-up pictures of movie stars in swimsuits were extremely popular among US servicemen. In the 1950s and early 1960s, photographers such as Peter Gowland produced glamour images with partial nudity.[1]
