Boudoir High Key Part 2

With boudoir shoots often you are trying to balance the need to show skin, but not too much skin. I have also found that when asking our female sitters what their men prefer backs and bums feature heavily.

Boudoir High Key Part 1

In this sequence I have used a small 8 foot square area of set, with just two lights to create a range of different looks and styles. I want to show that even a small space used well does not need to be restricting at all.

50 metres of rope goes a long way - artistic and different

Window Frame Silhouette - easy to create for impact

Backlighting through a diffusion screen is such a powerful tool. I use it all the time, but usually with a main light on the subject as well. In this sequence of shoots though I am just using the backlight and shooting directly into it.

Glamour in a shed - why contrasts work

These images work because of the comparison and contrast - and frankly downright incongruity - of a pretty girl in a grubby place.

Back Light, the easy way to create a striknig nude image

Rim lighting of the nude is a very simple lighting arrangement but one which is very powerful. The reason it works so well is that it really pulls out both the physical form, the shape of the subject and also reveals tone and texture in the figur...
