Textural Diversion IV – Plans

4 comments
Posted on Jun 27 2010 by Ren

Okay, so here’s the plan.

Ren starts a business.

Good plan?

A photography business. A boudoir photography business.

‘Licious Photo has been born – at least in concept. There’s lots of developing business plans and the like, but this is going to happen, one way or another.

Not a lot of people approve.  Or they just don’t get it.

“I’m going to be a photographer,” I say.

“Oh wow! That’s impressive!  Are you doing weddings?” They say.

“No, I’m doing boudoir,” I say

“Oh…”  They are not impressed.  They are confused. They are even a little put off.

I’d like to know what’s so damned difficult to understand about boudoir photography.  I’m not a dirty pervert.   I love taking photos of women. Women are pretty; all shapes and curves and gorgeousness.  They look good in print. I want to do that.  What’s more, I want women to feel good about themselves – skinny or fat, young or old. I want it to be my mission to prove to ladies that they can be superstars in front of a camera.  I know what it’s like to look and feel ugly.  I can sympathise and empathise.

It’s a great feeling knowing that you’ve made someone feel special.  It’s a bit addictive.

I’ve had some excellent feedback in regards to the photos I’ve taken of Janet and I know I am on the right track. With a little patience and practice, I’ll actually be good at this stuff.

And I do so desperately want to be good at something.

Yes, this is a rambly post, I know. It’s Sunday night, I’m in the homework doldrums and dreading another full five days of the day-job beginning tomorrow morning.

    It is a fabulous idea and I’d be happy to have you in my boudoir any old time. You do some absolutely fantastic work that manages to look polished and natural. Take a look at the well known photography studios, that combo is not an easy feat! I say go for it ;-)

    Best wishes, and good luck! -Erin
