Critique Invited: Boudoir with OCF - NSFW

[Sydney Rester]

Wasn't sure the best place to post these (here or glamour?). Most were taken with OCF so I settled on here. I have been VERY absent from the forums for reasons I don't wish to discuss publicly. But hope to be back now!

These are from my first ever boudoir shoot. CC welcome!

Smoking

It Will Get Better

Please add the label "NSFW" for this kind of pictures, it matters for some members.

Yeah, how else are we to find the good shots.
Boudoir shots go right over my head most days, Sydney, but you seem to have done justice to the young woman. The hair rollers and *** were a bit of a turn-off, though. If that sort of shot is supposed to be tittilating, I could very well be looking at my wife in these pictures, and what would be the point in that?
Having done this shoot, Sydney, can you give me the rundown of who requested it and why? Not that I can see myself being tempted to try it but it does fascinate me somewhat as to the rationale behind these shots. They are a long way from porn or any form of indecency in my book and although the woman does look rather enticing, I wonder who she is trying to entice.
Cheers

PS. The swear word obliterator needs to be adjusted to accommodate good old Aussie slang. The *** in the above is the word f-a-g, a common colloquial for cigarette, not a term of indearment for a person of alternative persuasion, often referred to here by the rednecks as a 'poof'. Sorry if that offended anyone but I just wanted to see if it got through.

PPS It did. That means all the gays in Australia or offended but the cigarette smokers are completely reassured.

Good point, Jerome. Done. I added it to the subject line.

Actually the ones with the curlers are my favorites. They have this "gritty cheap cocktail waitress in a crappy apartment, smoking her cig, dreaming of a better life", feel that really appeals to me at the moment. They were actually out-takes. She put her hair in curlers for the next set of shots and went outside to smoke, and those 2 images ended up being my absolute favorites.

The model was a friend of mine. She wanted a set of boudoir pics for her boyfriend, and I wanted to try this kind of shoot so we gave it a shot. I'm not going for porn or indecent, but quietly sexy. I loved doing this shoot. It was such a change from all the weddings I've done lately, and I positively love photographing women/the female form. I could see wanting to do lots more of these. NOT porn though but subtlely sexy and powerful.

I suppose I should add I have others that are REALLY NSFW but those are just for the client and her boyfriend

Google Elizabeth Craig Photography in Pittsburg, Sydney. She's a friend of mine and she does some great boudoir stuff. There might be some poses you can pinch.

Hi, Tom,

PS. The swear word obliterator needs to be adjusted to accommodate good old Aussie slang. The *** in the above is the word f-a-g, a common colloquial for cigarette, not a term of indearment for a person of alternative persuasion, often referred to here by the rednecks as a 'poof'. Sorry if that offended anyone but I just wanted to see if it got through.

We can't use the Latin for "with" ('сum') either (without a little extra work!).

On the other hand, I think the fаg in Sydney's portraits is itself obscene.

I'm reminded of the time when the motor vehicle authorities of the US state of California commissioned a study to determine which three letter combinations (potentially used in license plate "numbers") were "obscene" and should be taken out of the repertoire.

Best regards,

Doug
