Site revamp

For 2009 I thought we needed a nice crisp clean and new website.

It still includes pink! but I feel it towers above the old one, hope you agree.

Airbrushing , Retouching , Editing

Call it what you will.

I like to keep my images as close to natural as possible.

There is always the probability that a client will want a significant amount of retouching on their image. However usually I try to encourage just a light retouch , removing blemishes etc , the false smooth look where by the technique of blurring is used can cause a subject to look plastic or just too 80's .



Below is an image Ive taken from a previous shoot, this is just a light retouch and removal of jewellery which has fallen awkwardly in the pose.



I have used the process of masking to keep the skin texture using Christy Schulers technique. I have also processed the eyes and lightly retouched the hair.

Boudoir Shoot Comments

I just wanted to share with you some of the lovely comments I've had from my Boudoir shoot clients.

Its what makes Boudoir photography and any other kind of photography for that matter, worth while.


Helen from the West midlands :

"I am still looking at these pictures and it so hard to pick from them..... you have done a great job I honestly thought I was going to dislike them because of how much I hate looking at pictures of myself.....
You have put the biggest smile on my face now"



Karen from the East Midlands:

"Thank you Helen for making me feel perfectly at ease. The photos are lovely and the album is beautifully presented. This makes a perfect gift, one that will last forever."

Amy from the West Midlands:

"My Album has arrived & I am over the moon, thank you so much xxxxx"
