Most of you at this point know my mom was a photographer and specialized in high-contrast night shots with neon and stage lights. She was a band photographer and has shot everything from interviews with bands for local reviews, live concerts, to the gorgeous ladies of High Times Magazine. Even before all that though, she had a love for photography as the woman behind the lens. I learned a lot from her when it came to designing a stage and why certain times of the day mattered most to a photographer’s art.
However, I didn’t start getting into serious photography until 2019, more as a hobby than anything and an outlet for my own passions, but it has since blown up into a full-scale business. I’ve reached a point now where I want to level up my work.
So, it’s time to learn more! My skills are evolving and I hope to one day open my own photography business and help bring other people’s vision to life as my confidence grows. I’m not the best, and half the time what people don’t realize when they see one of my shots is there are around 200 other versions that didn’t make the cut. When I first started, there was hardly any flow to them, I felt like I was shooting without any actual purpose other than to try and capture something that looked appealing with nice lines and good light, and my partner often took behind-the-scenes shots that I would typically end up using over my own self-shot photos because I would get so frustrated with the ones I was taking (often on an iPhone).
Now I’m working with professional cameras (my Sony Alpha 7 III) as well as my iPhone pro, creating better backgrounds, and always learning new techniques (thanks YouTube!). As my skills have evolved, so too have my following and subscribers, and while it’s my passion that keeps me going, its all of YOU that give me the ability to make it all happen!
But, it’s time to take the next big leap! To do that, I need to learn even more, experiment, and get to know the techniques that will allow me to not just level up my photography as an erotic artist, but be able to capture the essence of others.
The gallery below is a photoshoot (clothed and nude) taken on a particularly gorgeous day in March between noon and 2pm. One of the reasons my partner and I bought the house we have now was because it allowed for incredible light to flow through large panel windows at specific times of the day, making it great for shooting. The bad thing is the best times of the day are often when he is at the office, which means I’m doing self-photoshoots most of the time. I’ve had to get creative with angles, using mirrors, testing shots in advance, and practicing boudoir poses that some of my favorite boudoir photographers use for sometimes days before I shoot them.
