Plus Size Portrait Photography: A & Alex at the park
A few weeks ago I had the chance to catch up with plus size model A again (in case you missed it, you can check out our first shoot together here: Miss A’s London Boudoir Photography Session). Myself and another photographer wanted to take a morning to test out a few new lighting techniques together, and A and her lovely friend Alex were happy to get in front of the camera for us. It was a gorgeous, hot day, so we opted for a London park as a shoot location. Unfortunately we couldn’t really pull off any boudoir looks since the park was full of tourists and families, but I thought I’d share these portrait photography images with you anyway.

These were also lit with artificial lighting. It’s a cool way to get lots of drama and that moody feel even if the weather isn’t cooperating.

One last shot of Miss A.
Alex was also good enough to join us, and I loved photographing her. It was her very first time having a portrait photography session, but she did great.
Even got down and dirty in the flowers:) Thanks girls! Also wanted to give a little shout out to Dinendra for his collaboration on this shoot too.

Boudoir Photo Shoot London: Miss A’s Boudoir Photography Session
Miss A and I arranged a boudoir photography session ahead of her Elopement/Wedding this summer. It’s something she’s always wanted to do, and creating a gorgeous album to surprise her Groom with was the perfect excuse to go ahead and set up a shoot. We worked out all the details and then met up in the city early one Sunday morning (note to self: absolutely nothing is open in the Financial District on a Sunday morning. Nothing.)
As always, I suggested she think about different shapes, styles and colours when shopping for lingerie. This lacy red number is the prefect example of how you can do a bold colour without it coming across cheap.
This location was great too. I love unique details like this brick wall since they add a little more depth to the final images.
Of couse nothing beats beautiful window light, except maybe spending your whole life walking around on legs as perfect as these!
This is one of those poses that feels so ridiculous and un-sexy when you’re doing it, but it creates a killer shot when done correctly. There are no boys allowed on a boudoir photography session with me though, so no harm in being silly and working at it until it’s just right:)
I also suggested Miss A go for one outfit that included the full lingerie getup – stockings, suspenders, heels – the whole shebang. I love this look, and it’s always a favourite with husbands and partners too. Sure, it takes 20 minutes to put on, but it’s worth it.
This mirror was loads of fun too.
Oh Miss A. Well done on that sultry gaze!
Miss A has one of those beauty pageant smiles, with the perfect teeth to match. She’s really cool though, and I’m pretty certain she could find Iraq on a map if needed.
This shot on the right took quite a lot of rearranging of furniture and balancing on heels. As sometimes happens, I didn’t feel like it was working that well during the process of creating it, but I was dead wrong. Every single image from this set turned out great, and it resulted in some of my favourite images from Miss A’s entire boudoir photography session.
That cool brick wall and my D&G silk wrap make a dynamic duo, don’tchya think?
One quick change into one of my corsets and this glamorous silk bedding. I love this setup, and Miss A looks fab in these colours.
That’s a wrap! Miss A, it was great getting to know you and working with you. Congrats on your wedding!

P.S. Miss A sent me this little email recently. In case you’ve been wondering, my approval rating with the boys is excellent, lol!

Hot off the Press: Rebel & Romance Boudoir Photography featured in Philosophie Boudoir Magazine
It’s an honour to be featured in the latest issue of Philosophie Boudoir Magazine, an internationally distributed publication that curates and presents beautiful boudoir imagery. Part magazine, part fine art/coffee table book, this publication is put out by the Association of International Boudoir Photographers and is available for purchase here.
I love Philosophie’s mission statement, which is “to portray women in the most beautiful light, both literally and metaphorically.” They chose two of my favourite images of Jada and Olivia to print, check out the tear sheets below:)
I’m also excited to let you in on a little secret…I’ve done a second shoot with the fabulous Olivia. I can’t say much about it now, except that the shoot was genius and involved a little bit of pin up, a little bit of Morocco, and a lot of fine art nudity. Selected images are slated for publication in August, but I’ll keep you posted as I’m given release dates. It’s all very hush-hush and secretive with printed publications, but you can see a teensy sneak peek by following me at: stormy_rebelandromance
