STUDIO BOUDOIR - BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY
THE STUDIO

Our personal and intimate studio is located in a large Victorian house mid way between York and Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Some photographers studios are on industrial estates or in large buildings which may seem intimidating and lacking in atmosphere. In our opinion an ideal portrait studio should be personal, inviting and warm. Not cold and impersonal. Being situated in a large Victorian house our studio has spacious rooms to work in and it also feels more intimate and atmospheric then many modern environments.

We have a large main studio area which contains three walls which can be used as sets for different types of photographs. A flock wall for the classic boudoir look, a art nouveau style flowered wall and a rich floor to ceiling blue velvet curtain wall.

The curtain wall also has suspended above it numerous paper backdrops which can be used for more plain background traditional settings. We have numerous colours including baby blues and pinks which are commonly favoured in pin up style work.

Certain areas of the house can also at a small extra cost be used for more adventurous photoshoots! We have two very long corridor runs suitable for a claustrophobic noir look. We also have a deco styled living room which doubles as a make-up and dressing room. This room is great for natural light style portraits (when the weather obliges!).

When you book your shoot if you request to use parts of the house you will be asked to specify which settings you require so that lighting can be made ready in advance of your shoots. For shorter lower budget shoots we generally stick to the studio as we can work much faster and more conveniently in there.

EQUIPMENT

This section is for the more technically interested.

Primarily we specialize in tungsten light photography as that is the closest to giving that Hollywood style look. There are a couple of things to know about tungsten. One is that it gets hot with the lights on! Secondly they are very bright (think old Hollywood arc lights). For most people this is not a problem but if you are photosensitive and have problems with your eyes please let us know in advance so we can allow for this. It will limit us somewhat but arrangements can be made to get around the problem. Our tungsten lighting gear is made by British company Photon Beard. They have been in the business for over a hundred years (they started out making lighting for theatres). We believe in their equipment as being robust and reliable as well as giving a great timeless quality of light.

If you require a studio flash based shoot for a more modern fashion style look we use Swiss Elinchrom studio flash units. Elinchrom are well known in the photographic industry for producing professional reliable equipment.

Digital photography is done using a 15 mega-pixel digital SLR camera while film photography is done using a Mamiya RZ67 medium format camera.

All in all there is no type of studio based portrait or personal photography we cannot provide. In addition all the pictures you will see in the gallery were executed using either the above equipment or older inferior equipment now replaced.
