Virtual Boudoir Session 2
My second virtual boudoir session was with Eden, who I have photographed before on a rooftop terrace of a fancy hotel wearing sexy lingerie and high heels. This session was different, very different.
This time around we didn’t have a 5-star hotel room with white bedsheets and fluffy pillows, we didn’t have city views, we weren't even in the same room. I was sitting at my computer in Brisbane and Eden was at her home on Sunshine Coast. When I video called Eden she first showed me her apartment and we decided on the locations for the shoot. For the outfits, we agreed already on panties and a jumper when we were discussing the idea of the virtual shoot.
On the day Eden has shown me a flannel shirt and stockings and I loved the idea. The biggest difference this time was that we had Eden’s husband assisting us during the shoot. He was so nice to let me boss him around. He was patiently following my instructions: stepping back and to the side, tilting the phone and balancing on one foot just to get the perfect frame for me. Yes, it was a very unusual boudoir shoot. Nevertheless, it was fun and here is what Eden has to say about this experience:
“Having a webcam photo shoot was a very new experience for me. I have had face to face shoots with Marina before so I jumped at the opportunity to play around with isolation boudoir photos from home. It was just as much fun! Marina helped me pick out where my photos were going to be taken and with the help of my husband we were able to have a lot of fun with camera angles. It was such a fun way to break up the everyday routine whilst social distancing and still feel incredible and empowered.” - Eden
