perhaps with a slip or two outside the lines…..

This was a no frills shoot without lights, backgrounds, or planning.  I used a 50mm and an 85mm using natural light.  I knew from the beginning this was only to be in black and white, and the young man’s face would never be seen.   My goal was the lines in any way they presented themselves.   I gave little to no instruction to him.   It was a 30 minute shoot.

I am quite used to doing intimate shoots with women without any hesitation.  I was nervous for this one. Just goes to show what certain curves do all of our imaginations

after the tease of two previous posts……..

Sunday we shot for a local wedding linens vendor…… “linens for any occasion” being the theme.

We were blessed with a young lady that loves the camera and the camera loves her. You would have to work hard to get a bad angle on her.  Add to handsome young men with great bodies…… a boat dock at sunset.. a glass of wine……. a diamond ring….. and whole host of people watching and cheering us on….. you have new images that you will start seeing for another company.

I am fairly certain we will all be together again along with another couple of guys wanting to be in front of my lens. For sure there were several hot looking young guys floating around Sunday.

Don’t get angry…….. go shop.   Sooner or later…….. he will surface

Images altered and cropped to protect and used with permission. Disclaimer up top and up front… Studio D does more intimate shoots than we ever post.  Privacy is of utmost concern including our printing resources.

Men are visual……..and ……. guess what?  So are women!  We do intimate shoots with men as well as women.

Big myth …. Intimate shoots are about nudity…. This particular person was never totally without clothes. The shoots follow your comfort levels.

60% of Intimate shoots are not gifts of women for men.   They did it totally for themselves, and are always amazed no matter their shape, perceived flaws, and/or age……. there is always beauty in the human form.

This photographer enjoys letting people feel good about the way they look.   Not the way the fashion magazines tell us we should look……but…. the way we are….and through my eyes.

Our little black books have managed to go on honeymoons, adorn pillows on wedding nights, and been held by people that are in love.

Tyler and Katie’s wedding 08/15/2009

There is a slew of images to go through, so I find fav’s as I edit here and there throughout my Sunday.  Normally I don’t touch images the day after.  The brain needs a day to recover after a wedding. :)  BUT!  This wedding is fun, and it just keeps tempting me to come work on it some more.   Katie just melts into Tyler’s arms making it so easy to capture images like the one above.    If you are from the Quad Cities you know this landmark bridge.  It seems so fitting to see it in wedding images.

Let’s talk about entrances.  This groomsmen is at least 4 feet above the dance floor.  Can you top that without seriously being injured?

What the boys can do…. the girls can too……

…and in a gown we might add .

Little sassiness to end the night.  Katie smiles and the world around her lights up.

The next image was a grab shot by Lexie.  We didn’t expect it.  Katie walked in with her dad, and when she took Tyler’s arm she did what has been a long time custom….. she kissed the groom before the ceremony started.  Katie was a little embarrassed, but all the guests loved the moment.  That’s her mom with her hands over her eyes.

Tina is one of  my upcoming brides.  Her makeup for the shoot was done by Erin Seddon.  Soft, easy, light, playing to eyes and lips….. photographed beautifully.  Love Erin’s magic!
