London Apartment with Charlotte


After travelling for two months, it was good to get back shooting again.  The shoot with the lovely Charlotte was organised during my travel.  I had the pleasure of shooting with her a few times before.  The theme was boudoir and lingerie.  We started the shoot with a fashion images with a few different outfits.  I could not help with playing with gel.  I used red gel with these couple of images.



The apartment has a opaque glass brick dividing wall.  Once I saw that, I knew I was going to back light the wall with colour gel and it will look amazing.  All I had to do was to choose the colour.  This time I used green and I really like the effect of the green back light.  In post, I increased the saturation of the colour green to add more impact.



At the beginning Charlotte was only wearing her lingerie, which looks great, but maybe just too revealing.  she had a cardigan with her which completed the look and I think it is much better.


We then moved into the bedroom to take some boudoir images.  When you have a great model with lovely figure, it is hard to take a bad image.  Charlotte was a pleasure to work with and I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot.  We did not have a MUA for this shoot, but Charlotte did wonder with her makeup and hair to make them fresh and different for every set.




When I plan a photo shoot, I always do research and have a good idea of the type of images and what they will look like before hand.  The images I got from this shoot are far better than I have planned.
