FOR WOMEN WHO DEMAND SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL

This year we decided to really switch up the business and provide something no other studio in Yorkshire provides.

A truly customised, bespoke service for our discerning clients.

We’ve always been bespoke.

We’ve always offered ‘no time limits’ , no ‘conveyor belt’ experience, unlimited outfits etc.

This year, though, we are really breaking out.

We’re not going to be tied down to a studio. Instead, we will work wherever you want your specific photoshoot to be.

Whatever your fantasy shoot is, we will make it happen.

This year we’ll be shooting in an apartment in Paris (Close to the Eiffel Tower so of course we’ll be walking and shooting outdoors) and an apartment in Venice. (Indoors features incredible painted wall paper and outdoors, well, it’s Venice! ) Both our European shoots will include a book of pictures from the shoot and a Video Slideshow built into the box! Made just outside Venice, this book has to be seen to be believed. (See the Movie Book HERE )

Maybe though, your fantasy is less grand than a weekend away.

Maybe you’d like your photoshoot to be in a luxury apartment somewhere in the UK. (We now stretch beyond the confines of Yorkshire), maybe you’d like it to have a theme, maybe you’d like to do something outdoors by a waterfall or a lake or on horseback on the beach. Honestly, whatever your fantasy is, we’ll do everything we can to make it happen.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOUDOIR AND GLAMOUR (BEAUTY)

One of the big questions you’ll need to ask yourself early on is how you want your pictures to look.

Some of our clients want to feel the excitement and ‘rush’ of baring all in front of the camera. Totally naked, indoors, or even bolder, outdoors in nature. ( Some studios call this ‘Fine Art’ style )

Other clients don’t want to go that far and prefer the idea of wearing lingerie and being photographed in a more sensual way. (This is more traditional ‘Boudoir’ style )

A third group of clients prefer the idea of being photographed with clothes for a more Fashion look ( We call this ‘Glamour or Beauty’ style )

The decision you make is entirely up to you and your personal comfort level. Many women think they’s like to go bolder but during the shoot play a little safer and other go the other way. Start with stretchy jumpers and white shirts and then graduate to white sheets and soon muster up the courage to walk around totally naked without a care in the world! (If we happen to be photographing in a luxury Hotel we often find ourselves pleeding with clients to cover up so that the hotel guests aren’t offended. Honestly, that’s more common than you can imagine.

The truth is though, we actively encourage you to arrive with an open mind.

“Last year I had a photo shoot with Madison Bou. I can’t recommend Dave enough as a photographer. If you are camera-phobic, he has a way of making you forget it’s even there. He has a great team of make up artists and assistants who managed to turn me from looking like something the cat had dragged in to this!” … Clare
