Ally's boudoir shoot....

zoomer

Ally called me and asked if I did boudoir shoots. I shot her wedding 3 years ago so I said sure I would give it a go.


At her gallery there are some NSFW shots so be aware: http://miker1.smugmug.com/Portraits/Allys-boudoir-portrait-shoot/14963320_agc7T#1117686737_76hzX

Wow!! That woman is absolutely stunning!!! Oh yea, the pictures are good too. It looks like you put window light to good use in many of these. Very good looking shots.

That's an incredible set (and the pictures are nice too:smack )

Seriously, she's gorgeous and you did a great job on the entire series.

Exceptional.............clapclap

I am so jealous. I need to learn how to shot like this.

Thanks everyone.
Yes with Ally it is almost like cheating, she enjoys her time in front of the camera.

Yes these are almost all with window light, there are a few on the bed where a strobe with softbox was used to provide some fill.

Truth be told I have to give Agnieszka (Wedding forum moderator) props. I saw her boudoir work and the light bulb on how to do these shoots came on in my head, she does amazing boudoir work.

So let me get this straight. If you hadn't done her wedding, you wouldn't have done her boudoir shoot? Yeah, right!

Awesome job on these! Very inspiring work. I'm sure she and her hubby were thrilled.

Cheers,

Great set! # 8 beats 'em all in my opinion. The lighting and DOF across the entire set is "booyah"!

Nice job and quite a bit of variety.

She is gorgeous! Lighting is great!

However... in many of these I find the background too distracting or not fitting for the rest of the shot.

I can understand why But it's not just about the girl, but all about the photo of the girl.

Great shots! Really well done.

It'd be interesting to see the wedding shots as well.

System

Beautiful shots of a beautiful lady! Does she know you have posted these here for the world to see?

zoomer

Thanks everyone.
Yes she had a chance to go over the gallery to see if she wanted any removed and then she released the gallery for display.

You can tell with both the photographer and model are very comfortable with themselfs ... great series of shots!
