I want to take the time to speak on something that kind of bothers me. This isn't directed to anyone in particular in fact, I've fell victim to this in the early stages of my work. Ive seen thousands of photos of women in underwear or even n**e that looks very prudish.
Photographing women in lingerie rides a fine line between beautiful and raunchy. When deciding to do that type of look ask yourself these questions: "What am I capturing", "How will this capture be interpreted", "Is this really art?" , "Why am I taking this and does this make sense as a body of work?"
In my beginning years I failed at answering those questions and my work felt and seemed...wrong for lack of better words. Over the years I decided that I will shoot with intention and with the talent's comfortability. Even if they are comfortable with the look you should be able to step back and think about those above questions before deciding to press the shutter.
