Boudoir photography II (might be nsfw)

As promised in my previous post i update my blog with some pictures from my last shoot with Manon.

Mua and Hair by Valérie de Roeck

I know i should keep the quantity of pictures low but for once i'll post a bit more pictures than usual... (I really could not choose, Manon is my muse!)

In this series i really worked a lot with available light only, i had a shoot through umbrella ready but never used it, only the mini sunbounce with silver fabric got used a lot
The light coming through the blinds caught my attention in the bathroom, it was only a question in posing Manon in the right spot, no additional lights or reflectors used



Just a bit of posing on a sofa.. D700, 85mm, big window with amazing light and a sunbounce silver reflector (mini) to fill the shadows, post in LR and PS






Manon thought we where going a bit too much mainstream, she asked me for something different... we gave it a try, hope you like it




This was outside, only lit by very harsh afternoon sun, Manon could not even look at me, that's why her head is turned away, i like this picture a lot because of it's look & feel and it's hard light, not something i use often.


Window in the back and a window behind me, perfect light sandwich for Manon, 100% available light (turned of the lights because they would have casted their yellow tone in the picture, mixing different light temperatures is not a good idea, well not here anyway!)


And a bit more Editorial style pictures, slightly overcast weather and the mini sunbounce for fill.






More glamour, more glamour..



Classic Hollywood style without the butterfly ;-)


Here i used the Falcon eyes reflective Sun umbrella behind Manon (picture left) to give an extra light effect, big window with natural light in Manon's right side

The Umbrella is powered with an SB-900 in manual mode with the RF-602 triggering system, the flasheads temperature is raised by several 100 degrees kelvin because of the "soft sun" reflective interior in the umbrella (bit of gold-ish an silver-ish like a Zebra panel but with more contrast)
