You look into the camera and feel powerful. You feel wanted, desired, sexy beyond belief. That was the purpose of coming here. To my studio. I specialize in boudoir photography, where women want to feel beautiful and show that beauty to their partners. Yes, there’s lingerie, beds, chaise lounges, and sexy outfits, but I try to capture much more than that. I want to bring out the essence of a woman’s desire, their hidden passion, but today it was my passion that was brought out. The minute you walked in the door.
I’m amazed at the natural girl next door beauty you radiate. The way you smile, the way that you move. So many women have come through without that realness. Something about everything with you. Wait, was I getting nervous? The pro who’s done a hundred shoots with his professionalism intact? Shake it off, man. Focus.
My assistant is always at all my shoots. She does the makeup and helps set up equipment, as well as make the women feel safe and comfortable. I never shoot without her. You give her the garment bag and small suitcase and both of you disappear to get ready. When you come out wearing the black robe I’m immediately aroused but try and mask it. Keep it together. We’re about to start when my assistant gets a call. She has to go, child care emergency. She apologizes and rushes out. When she leaves I apologize.
