Louise had approached me a few months back, looking to shoot in February. An accountant by profession, she was looking to build the boudoir/lingerie components of her port-folio.
She is very new to modeling but communicated well, and had a very clear idea of what she wanted to achieve from our two hours, which is always helpful.
Shooting at a model’s home can be the best or worst of scenarios. However, when it comes to boudoir/lingerie (and especially new models) the sense of familiarity means the model is immediately more relaxed.
Though well-versed in studio environments, I prefer natural light, when it comes to boudoir. Provided windows are sufficiently large, the softer light provides an additional element of intimacy. Talking of which, a respectful distance is equally important, hence these were taken with my favourite 50mm 1.8 and 60mm 2.8 prime lenses. A dual-sided (silver/gold) reflector being my only additional source of lighting.
