Boudoir modelling shoot with Cazza

-

 I had a wonderful shoot with model Cazza Hoops.  It is good to just try things out - new photography techniques or lighting styles.  A paying client doesn't  want to be hanging around while you experiment, so these personal shoots are a great opportunity to stretch ourselves.

We started with some simple low-key silhouette backlighting, using some gridded striplight set to the sides and just behind her, with a large white reflector in front to bounce a bit of light back into the shadows.  Just moving it further or closer changed the effect it had.




For the next ones, I used just one light with a snoot attached, positioned right behind Cazza, which gave one small point of light, and as she changed positions it gave a halo effect.  With a model like her, she could be left to do her own thing with the poses.  I just had to catch it as the light hit right spot!

The last set used a screen that I had made from translucent fabric, stretched across a frame, backlit to get more silhouettes, but varying the distance from the screen gave more abstracts shapes.  Again, Cazza pulled out a load of great poses and we got some fab images.  I couldn't a bit of digital manipulation to put two images into one.

Professional headshots

Actor headshot in the studio If you are a professional and need your "public" image to be a little better than a selfie that you got from your Facebook profile picture, step this way! With the studio setup we can do a number of different looks, depending on the session time.

Headshot done outside the studio You may need a more serious headshot for your LinkedIn profile, or for your "meet the team" section of your company website, or perhaps something more dramatic if you are an actor needing to promote your portfolio.

Home boudoir photography in the Hull area

  If you are wanting to arrange a boudoir photoshoot in Hull or the surrounding areas, instead of a shoot in the studio, you have the option of having it in your home. It gives a much different look and will give it more of a personal touch. It also means you have access to all of your stuff - all your outfits are close to hand and you are in familiar surroundings. As long as you have a decent amount of space and a relatively uncluttered room, we can make some beautiful photos without you leaving the house. Please get in touch so we can discuss suitability for a home photoshoot. Here are a few example images from a home shoot, using no more than light from the window and occasionally a small flashgun to fill the shadows. Most of the shoot was done in the window area or on the bed.

Model shoot with Natalja

-
Image
 Natalja came for her second photoshoot this week.  We had previously done some fashion-style photos at the studio, after abandoning an outdoor shoot due to the wintery weather, but this time we had discussed a few ideas based on some more sensual photos we had seen online. She brought a selection of quite fabulous lingerie and worked to implied nude (even though she wasn't quite!)   Although she said she had not modelled before, she had a great look and took direction when needed, but was happy to play around with her posing.  Here are some of my favourites.  If you want to arrange a shoot of your own in the Hull East Yorkshire, get in touch through my contact page .
