Exotic & cosplay looks in boudoir
You have probably noticed plenty of faceless/fully anonymous xxx, kinky, fetish & even BDSM-tinted images on this page. Gritty, hard & arty (and often black & white). This is indeed something that I enjoy making for small expos. However sensual, dreamy boudoir mixed with exotic looks and cosplay influences are also possible paths for shoots ( and probably even more liked by most models ). Let me showcase some samples from such shoots: . . . . . . Interested in such a shoot? Then there are a few things you should know: ▷ For my portfolio & expos I normally only use images without a visible face unless the model desires to be recognizable ( because they're either a model, or they like a bit of fame, or they enjoy exhibitionism ), ▷ A contract stipulating what can/cannot be done with the images will be drawn up , ▷ I don't shoot with "your camera", nor on "your card" . I use my own pro-gear that I know by heart and that I also use ...
Waiting at the Gate
Once in a while somebody spontanously contacts you and says " I'd like to pose for any crazy idea you might have at the moment " and actually show up for the planned meeting. If your plans are for an outdoors shoot always make sure to plan it in a nice place where you can go for a walk if the models don't show up. It'll be a wee bit less frustrating. . Namaste
Scandalizing the prudes
No fancy words, just the essence of feminine power over men. A good friend of my girlfriend asked me to photograph her breasts. When people (m/f/x) feel comfortable showing their body, then I feel comfortable shooting their body. So there it is. You found this on Flickr because Instagram & Facebook would scrupulously censor it.
Event - Fantasy fair photography etiquette
This was the reaction of the barbarian faun to the notification that Castlefest 2021 has been cancelled. We can only hope the best for Elftopia, now that Trolls-et-Legendes has postponed it's fair to 2022. Actually.. such events have been so long that I don't even remember which kind words I should use to convince the beautifully costumed creatures from the fantasy fairs into posing for my camera. Should I Zoom or Facetime them? " Hi you on the other side of the path.. would you mind if I took a picture of your gorgeous creation? " My fear is that I'm not the only one with these questions rushing through the head and while I will try to talk to the costumed humans, some other photographers might resort to sniping from afar with 200mm to 600mm telelenses and refuel that silly <Cosplayer/Photog> feud because some not-cleary-thinking photogs caught some cosplayers unaware .. or even worse: snapped them while taking a huge bite of a sandwich. Not the most eleg...
Christmas boudoir
The maize runner
In Belgium there were very few let's-shoot-outdoors-in-the-sun-and-warmth -days this Summer. But when there was one outside the working moments we had to go and shoot. This series was made in the maize or corn fields near my place. And I should make some rear-side pictures. I admire female behinds but haven't photographed them in a long time. * makes mental note * A larger version of this image is on Flickr .
I need to do more boudoir
Truth or Dare? Allow me to choose Truth for once: I should make wày more boudoir, bodyscape, nude art & fetish art pictures than I'm doing right now. I've made some of those during the lockdowns ( Alas I only publicly post pictures that were made for expos & anonymous samples allowed for portfolio useage ) but now work, events & fairs are keeping me so busy I hardly have any time left. And in all genres ( especially for boudoir and duo-boudoir ) I feel like there's soooo much more to try. Soon we'll see how we can create more time to turn some ideas into images. Give a howl if you're interested in a shoot ( solo or together with your [ play ] partner ) of which ( anonymous ) pictures can be used for expos & portfolio and you don't need the shoot to be planned " Today or tomorrow at the latest " 😜 Originally posted on Flickr
Happy Halloween
It is that time of the year when the ghouls can leave their caves and mingle with the crowds. For a few days humans welcome all creatures from the Darkseid.. these last decades this welcome has become a purely commercial event as have all celebrations. Every holiday has become a reason to encite consumerism.. so I made a series of Halloween photos with the Sony A7IV you can watch for FREE on Flickr . Merry Samhain you creatures from the Dark
The Left Behind - series
This is one of those series where I spontanously get ideas for during hikes, long walks or even shoots.. and in 99% of those cases I either don't have a model hiding in the backpack or I'm working with a non-BDSM /non-nude model so I can't propose the idea. Hence it's taking me years to get some shots together. . . The theme of the series is pretty self-explanatory, right? Yes, it's in many senses dehumanising to see both people & objects at the same level.. Some will even complain about the objectification process that speaks from some photos or be shocked about the titles giving more focus to objects than humans. Yes, I'm aware that several people in these photos are out of focus.. and just know that I choose what will be in focus and what not. . This series has it's own album on Flickr . . Do I want to make more of these? Damn right . With you? Maybe . Use the contact form on your left-hand sidebar and we'll see.
