Another image that I instantly loved and one which stays within the boundaries of boudoir rather than glamour. The use off light is beautiful and striking - enhancing her form and leading the viewers eye up and down her body. I love both of her hands (usually very hard to get right in boudoir) and like the fact that the subject remains anonymous. She is beautifully posed in a very feminine and flattering way. Great use of contrast too - love the deep blacks, midtowns and perfectly placed highlights. Overall a very sexy, strong image!
I do like this image but just feel that a few adjustments would have made a big difference. You shouldn't really fight symmetry when you have a location like this -with so many lines it would have been better to keep the subject in the middle of the frame so that her right hand/arm does not break the outline of the window. I also find the design on the right hand cushion a distraction. I like the very subtle lighting on her face - just enough to get a sense of the woman. I think it would have been better to have kept her feet within the window frame - for composition and light. Overall I think that there was a wasted opportunity with those beautiful shafts of sunlight coming through the blinds - perhaps shooting using side light and working with the light and shadows running across the body could have delivered very creative results.
I was immediately struck by this image and love the strong yet subtle lighting which perfectly enhances her body and facial features. Her left hand is beautifully posed and I really like the fact you can just see her left nipple - sexy but gentle. I like the texture of the location and the fact that she is just off centre in the composition is perfect due to her eyeline taking the viewer out of the composition to the left. Lovely image!

The aim of boudoir photography is to celebrate the natural beauty of the human body with taste, poise and allure. Focus on poses that natural enhance the shape and curves of the model and play to their god given assets. Build trust and confidence with your model if you want to achieve intimacy in your shots. Good luck.
