This week on the blog: Emmmma.

Emma and I first worked together about two years ago. She had a very different look back then, so when I had a last minute session come free we arranged for round two. Newer, fresher, summery.

I actually just dug through my blog archives to find our original images, and I’m having a very surreal feeling comparing the two shoots…but that’s another post for another time. On to the good stuff.

Simple, pretty, a little understated, and a little French.

Miss E is wearing Agent Provocateur’s bridal range on top. This bra is part of my (small but growing) studio collection of lingerie that is available for clients to use, but unfortunately I don’t have the matching bottoms. I brought it along anyway, and Emma just so happened to have a perfectly matching set of knickers in her bag. One point to us.

Sometimes the best frames are the ones you don’t even try for.

 A little window light is all you really need for beautiful bridal boudoir imagery.

The obligatory silhouette. It never fails.

Next up is this beautiful raw silk kimono and matching knickers, hand made by the lovely Katrina of Stripped Beautiful.

I’ve been waiting for weeks for an excuse to use this in a shoot. It turned out exactly how I’d imagined – soft, flowy, and a little whimsical. This is also available for clients to use, and it’s a very forgiving fit since the knickers tie up on the sides.

Lots of moody black and whites this go around.

And then there’s this number: an insanely priced set from Agent Provocateur’s Soiree Collection. It’s a quarter cup and weighs about ten pounds, but it’s quite tricky to photograph without pasties. I’m working on getting some pasties made to match and then we’ll show it off properly;)

Love this pose, it seems to be universally flattering for women.

A few frames using the vanity table and mirror. This shoot alone has convinced me to buy one of these for the new studio.

The thing about Emma is that she’s got verrry long legs and is six feet tall, so we had to be a tad careful that she didn’t end up looking like she was in a doll’s house.

Fun with mirrors.

Some more fun with mirrors. It’s a bit of a theme this shoot;)

Rebel & Romance London Boudoir Photography Lingerie_0017

Messy hair, dark eyeliner, and black lingerie for the win.

Miss E has such a great stare down.

A few lighter bed shots next. These sort of images are a great way to inject a little fun and movement into your album.

This room is overpoweringly silver in real life. It looks garish and fake at best (because let’s face it – there’s no way that’s all genuine silver leaf). However, thanks to the magic of a little clever lighting and toning in post processing, the end result is anything but.

There’s something a little Angelina Jolie about Emma here.

Over the shoulder:)

This last set is not for the faint hearted. Another Agent P number, this one is all straps and daring PVC. It’s a bit intimidating, but great if you want something that’s going to push you outside your comfort zone.

You can see it doesn’t quite fit Emma properly, but we though it was close enough to use anyway. If we wanted to get technical about it, we could have just pinned that rogue strap back or retouched it out, but I wasn’t that bothered by it. I just really loved Miss E’s hair and lip colour in this image.

Anyway – if you’re feeling brave, this one is yours to borrow as well.

We ended the shoot in the terribly lit bathroom but still managed these two images. A bit arty and maybe a little over-processed, but still sort of cool:)
