Vintage Boudoir with Rock ‘n Roll Style

As you may be aware, I recently did a Vintage Boudoir shoot with Kat from Rock ‘n Roll Bride. Kat and I met last year, when she featured some of my wedding images on her blog. Since then she’s become a friend, as well as a fellow columnist for Photo Pro where she explores the best of blogs across the world.

It was a lot of fun coming up with the ideas for the shoot with Kat. I had one major thing I had to keep in mind when designing the different looks: Kat has brilliant pink hair. This meant either I had to choose backgrounds and outfits that didn’t clash or ones that deliberately clashed. For example, I shot the maid image on a lilac background because it goes nicely with her hair, but decided to shoot the cigarette girl on a red background, which was an intentional “candy clash” as it’s called.

Kat put the images up on her site in mid-January and we were thrilled with the results. The comments were great. Here is a selection of my faves:

“I’m dunking biscuit in my tea, and have just lost most of it whilst looking at these fabulous images.” – Az

“I did a vintage themed boudoir shoot with another photographer but your pics are out of this world!” – Becky Williams

“Spectacular! These are some of the best Boudoirs I’ve seen!” – Jacquelyn

“Yep, the BEST boudoir shots to date. The bar has been RISEN!” -Alison Kelly

You can read more about my shoot with Kat and the art of posing non-professional models in my regular column in Photo Pro magazine in May. In the meantime, here are the images. I hope you like them.
