It suddenly occurred to me as we were shooting our most recent clients this week, that Cherie and I have a very unique shooting style>
We shoot side by side with different cameras and different lenses and we get two different perspectives at the same time using a combination flash and continuous light…we are constantly pushing to get the next great shot…all the while making the clients get over their fears of being the subject and being photographed we create a party atmosphere with great music and drink ….
…..our last clients were a couple that came to us for a boudoir shoot and we had to think about how to add a man into the mix
We have not been shooting couples so this seemed like a good opportunity to explore further #couplesboudoir .
Traditionally the men are never on the boudoir set unless he is the photographer….in this case however the man in this couple
was very much in love with the woman so the emotion was already there….they had great fashion sense which made our work a little easier
They brought samples of images they were interested in and Champagne with glasses…I could get use to this!
Lighting is the most important aspect of our work next to the cameras….we use any light that will give us the mood we want.
Shooting couples was not what we expected when we created The Boudoir Cafe several years ago but we can see that by including the men we can push to boundaries of what has become known as boudoir. Fifty shades of gray might have sparked a couples interests in experimenting with sexuality and eroticism! We are open to ideas!
