FAQ's:
What happens after the shoot? Once your shoot is over, I work extensively over the next two weeks editing your images and making them into the works of art you will receive. I do not outsource your images to be edited, they are in my hands only. Once they are ready, you will be sent a link to a folder containing your finished high resolution, fully edited images in soft copies. You are usually sent two or three versions of each image. I edit all of your top images and give them 5 stars in my culling process, so there is no need for you to preview them in a gallery. Once you receive your images, I suggest you choose your favourite three images in black and white, have them printed in a matte finish and framed with a thin black frame with a thick white mount for your bedroom walls. I normally say it is best to have ones without your face for your bedroom walls, then they look like fine art prints, but that is up to you of course. Most of my ladies have their images printed into little black books to keep in a bedside drawer, or gift someone special, so check those out in my packages.
Do you edit my images? I will edit you. I’m a woman, I know what little things we don’t like, little bra muffin tops, uneven skin or ‘‘dimples’’(much nicer word than cellulite don’t you think?) here and there. I make sure I choose the best poses to enhance and showcase your body on the shoot and alter in post-editing also. I’m not an advocate of changing womens bodies to look like we are all perfect, or not look like you! That is NOT why I edit. I edit because my work is fine art photography and as an artist, I keep the flows and curves and lights and darks all working together to make a work of art.
If you have concerns and would like me to perhaps pay attention to remove an old tattoo, scar, or something you don’t like, please do let me know, but I usually see how to proceed in editing and so far I’ve had no complaints. I work hard to produce perfect images so your surroundings and the body will all be edited.
How will I know how to pose? No woman who is not a model knows how to pose, however, with my years working as a model and a photographer, I know exactly how to pose you to get the best from you, so don’t even think about that! More importantly, RELAX. You are going to have a great time during your shoot, and will be blown away by your images.
Do you share everyone’s images? No - you can choose to have all of your images completely for your eyes only, you can choose anonymous images you are happy for me to share, or you can let me share all of them, it is entirely up to you. I send you details after your shoot with the options to choose from for your complete comfort.
Where are you located? I am an international photographer and work in mainly Italy, U.K and Dubai. I can also travel to your location for shoots. I recommend you either book a hotel room for your shoot, or we do it in your own home. I include location as part of the package price when shooting in Italy at my personal guesthouse
Will there be anyone else in the room at my shoot? No. I am a female photographer, and I will be the only person at your shoot. I prefer that you do not bring along a friend, unless they too are doing a shoot. Having someone there can be a distraction and posing requires a bit of concentration. And although it makes my job twice as hard, I also do not allow assistants to help me either for that reason. My printer is also female in Dubai.
Do you provide lingerie? I have a full client lingerie closet with carefully hand-picked items for your use. They are professionally cleaned between each session. (Dubai only)
What’s the age limit for boudoir shoots? There is no maximum age, and I have had clients over 70 years of age. I do not shoot anyone for boudoir under 21.
