After about half an hour of shooting, Kerstin started to lose a bit of her nervousness and get playful. She had a great little mask with her which I thought matched the bustier she wanted to use for at least one set. The two together made for a very playful, alluring set.
Yesterday I kicked off a week long series of posts from a boudoir shoot with the beautiful Kerstin. We continue today with the first real set from that evening. It’s always a challenge shooting a model’s first shoot, doubly so for one with any level of sensuality attached to it. As you’ll see over the next few days, though, Kerstin really came out of her shell pretty quickly and lost herself in the fun of the shoot.
My niece Kerstin approached me a while ago to do an extended boudoir shoot as a gift to her partner. After the book I had printed of the photos was given and the gift thoroughly enjoyed by both of them, I was given the all-clear to post a few of the hundred+ photos from 8 different costume changes.
It was, without a doubt, a most incredible evening. In going through and picking out the photos, I realized that just dumping all of them into one blog post wouldn’t do them justice. I’ll be posting a small selection from each set. This is the first of those sets. As always, I welcome your comments.
A vast majority of boudoir and sensual photography is shot with high key, or bright natural lights. I thought, what could you do with low key, soft lighting and a willing model? Here are a few of the images from a couple of hours of experimentation. No nudity, but lingerie is still NSFW in most places, so it’s behind the cut. Enjoy.
There are times when you have to put away the strobes and umbrellas and just let nature light the way. I love the softness of early morning light through the window and the way to caresses a woman’s skin. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.
The beauty of a mother-to-be is not just in the visions of her pregnant body, but are just as visible in the images of the woman herself. I give you a few more photos of the lovely Kerstin. I took these as part of a pregnancy photo shoot of her back in April, but felt they deserved their own showcase separate from the one focusing on her pregnancy.
In a previous post, I presented a shot of my wife, Wendi, that we submitted to Molly’s Daily Kiss Sinful Sunday photo blog. As any photographer or model will tell you, when you’re shooting for a couple of hours with multiple costume and set changes, you always come away with at least a few great shots. Here I present to you the ‘Rest of the Story’. Included at the end are a couple of “just for the hell of it” shots. They’re all technically work safe, but I wouldn’t push it with most HR departments. So click on the MORE button and enjoy.
Over on one of my favorite blogs; Molly’s Daily Kiss, they have a photo link list called Sinful Sundays. Each week there’s a new theme presented and then a guest author picks their favorites.
I haven’t participated in one of Molly’s themes in way too long so I asked Wendi (my much prettier half) if she’d pose for it. She was delighted and spent most of the day playing with cloth and clothes and lingerie and all the other fun things that go into a shoot like this. More photos from the shoot soon. This one’s for Sinful Sunday.
