Boudoir Photography

Welcome and thanks for dropping by my boudoir photography blog. This blog is meant to be an adjunct to my professional website, which is currently being rebuilt. Though I'm a pretty good photographer, web-design is definitely not my strongpoint and I hope that in the meantime, this simple little blog will give you a good idea of my work and the boudoir packages that I can offer you at this time. I am very happy to answer any questions and I encourage you to call me by phone or email me at garymenten@videotron.ca

Je parle tres bien le francais vous etes le bienvenu de me poser toutes vos questions en francais. Une version francaise du site suivera dans l'avenir proche.

EXPRESS SHOOTS

CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE: If you are on a budget or this is your first boudoir photo experience, one of our express shoots might be just the ticket for you. To keep expenses down, we shoot with a minimum of lighting equipment, which also speeds up the shoot and allows us to produce a lot of images for your CD quickly while still keeping results professional. Express shoots can be scheduled on very short notice; typically 24 hours or less. No retouching of images is possible with this sort of shoot, and makeup services are are not available. Clients are asked to have their makeup already on prior to the shoot beginning so that your entire 2 hours can be used for shooting and CD production.

CLASSIC RETRO NUDE

CLICK ON IMAGES TO ENLARGE:

My favorite nude images are the classic styles of the forties and fifties. Innocent, playful and emphasizing beauty and form over the raw sexuality of today's images. If you feel the same way, maybe one of these packages is for you.

CLASSIC RETRO PORTRAIT

Additional retouching is available at additional costs. Sepia toned prints are available as an option at not additional charge. Costs for printing and retouching are listed below.

70's RETRO PLAYBOY STYLE SHOOT

Do you remember the "Free Love" of the 70's? Even if you don't but want to experience the mood and style of the era, you can! This style is available both in studio and on location. I personally feel that shooting this on location is much better because the backgrounds can be so much more interesting than in the studio. It does involve extra costs however, because it's a lot of work to shoot this on location and I always want to have my makeup and photo assistant to help.

BOUDOIR PARTY

Boudoir parties are all the rage these days, and with good reason! They are the most affordable way to get great boudoir photos and have fun with your friends to boot. I always do these shoots with my makeup artist Angie, who provides a professional quick treatment to each client. Every lady gets about 20-30 minutes alone with the photographer, depending on how numerous you are, and the rest of the time is taken up with group photos.

DELUXE PLAYBOY STYLE LOCATION SHOOT

CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE
This high end package aims to emulate the sort of ligting styles and high quality images typical of classy glamour magazines. Because of the amount of work involved, this package always includes the makeup and photo assistant. It is shot on location only. Retouching and photoshop fees are extra. Commercial clients are required to pay licensing fees in addition to the other fees.
