Calling for all the Muses

Every day I work with people. Most are really nice. We take pictures, I deliver their prints or albums, and we forget about each other. Some even get a little short or demanding, which is just part of business. However, every once in a blue moon, you find some people to which you, somehow connect at a different level. I can't explain it. It just happens. Where you just trust, feel like you can be open and art is created. Art at a different level. I call these people Muses. My wife is the best muse I have. I'm also lucky to have met some models to which I keep going back because they're just so awesome. All my personal projects are with them, since there's this artistic bonding that allows new things to be born. Thinking about this, I noticed that this also happens with some of my clients, who just transform, become creative engines, naturally, without any directions or previous experience, they just become Muses.
So I decided to start a Muse gallery, where I'll post some of the images we created together. I want to mention that these pictures came out of an otherwise normal session, where both the subject and the artist connected.
Anyway, I'm so lucky to experience this rather rare situation, so here are some of my Muses images.

Less isn't always more

So you're excited, you're on your way to your boudoir session. You've always wanted to do it, you've been telling all your friends, you get into the studio, it's amazing and you're ready to roll. Photographer asks you what outfits did you bring, so you get your three black outfits and one pair of black shoes. You feel soo excited, and then...

Then what? Then, you just underutilized an amazing opportunity.
I see this every day. Ladies, let's be honest. How many times have you done boudoir before? And do you plan to do it again soon? Exactly! This is a once in a lifetime thing. By not doing your homework, you just got a session with the same old outfits you and your significant other know by memory. Why not go wild? Why not invest in cute sexy outfits to look amazing?
Bright colors, fun corsets, stockings, pumps. Get the best out of your investment. After all, how often do you indulge in cute lingerie? Best of all, you get to wear it again later!

But wait, it doesn't stop there. You showed up all excited, decided you didn't need to spend a little money on hair and make up. After all, you do it yourself every day, right? WRONG! You just look like you do every day. How exciting...
Do yourself a favor, hire a professional to give you a diva look, a new and glamorous image, sexy eyes, big hair,lashes, just for this occasion.
You'll be so glad you did it.
Now, don't blame me if you don't. I've warned you ;)

the iPhone office

A couple years ago, I wouldn't have guessed it. I probably would've actually said that it's just plain wrong. Nothing beats a good old phone call...or does it?  I've been trying to understand it, and truth to be told, about 85% of the contact with my clients is now through my amazing iPhone. Either we text back and forth or we email. I check my calendar, I make the appointment right in the phone, send price lists, email appointment confirmations, enter clients contact information, track orders and sessions.

Isn't technology scary?

So no, I barely call them and looks like that works best for them too...

Wonder what would be next.
