A swing in Tuscany…

Two quick bits of news for your Monday…

Oh I’ve avoided adding another online addiction like the plague, but I caved and recently started pinning photos to Pinterest. So if you’d like to check out Lighting I Love, Props I Covet, Rocking Pose Ideas, and other fine art boudoir photography inspiration, come check it out and follow me on Pinterest!
Happy Swinging,
Christa
R you kidding me? I LOVE looking at all your lighting pictures. They are beautiful and inspirational, just like you, my lil’ tiger!
Lol!! Thanks Kitty :)
love, lil mieu
I love this series! Everything is perfect…love it all (natural light, location, posing…)!!!
P.S. All of your images from Tuscany make me want to move there! So beautiful…
Lovely series! I always knew you’ve got the eye!! :)
Some really nice photographs. Based on what I’ve seen of your work, I am REALLY looking forward to the creativeLive workshop.
I’m curious–why the cigarette? I’ve been cigarette-free for 12 years now, and don’t generally find that look attractive–perhaps because I remember the smell so vividly and it kind of makes me sick these days (literally nauseated, not “I’m-better-than-you”). Just my thoughts; no offense intended.
Thanks for the compliments Matt, and so excited for you to join us for my creativeLIVE workshop coming up!
As for the smoke, this is an Italian model who wanted “a cigarette break” – so I shot it. I’m not a fan of smoking, or tatoos for that matter, but this girl is… and so I’m finding the sexy & beautiful in both. I’m not endorsing either.
Hope that’s helpful,
Christa
These are Smok’in Hot!!!
great contrast of black and white and Red!
Hi Christa,
My friend encouraged me to visit your site but I resisted because I knew your name and success and did not want to get discouraged about my own work. So glad I did though! I am inspired to…
– use less textures
– find more shadows
– show more black and white
Christa, do you think Boudoir is here to stay? I love shooting it and I am wrestling with whether or not to devote more energy and finances to this part of my photo biz.
John,
Glad you finally visited and found the blog useful and inspirational.
And pardon my bluntness… but are you serious?! Sensual depictions of women have been around since the stone age and are here to stay.
So you can rest easy, stop wrestling with it, keep loving boudoir photography, and give it all you’ve got!
Good luck :)
Christa
Bloody hell, Christa! These are gorgeous. A visual feast, in more ways than one.
cheers,
Kyle
