Textural Diversion IV – Plans
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.






Yessss! This is a brilliant idea, Ren. Go you!
I’ll provide testimonials!
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
Let me know when you have a pricelist, and I’ll be one of your first clients!! Sounds wonderful, and I can’t wait to see what you start turning out!
Best wishes, and good luck! -Erin
