Also, because I feel it's relevant, I do have a great amount of experience working with women professionally.
My last business was a beauty salon. I owned The Body Wrap Shop on Henderson Avenue for a little over six years. During that time, I was consistently the number one body wrap technician working with over 5000 women in bra and underwear without any incidents. I was also the number one body wrap technician in the world across 300 franchise locations in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
So, as a professional I know what actions are appropriate and which are not. I am relaying this information to help you be comfortable because I understand how important it is to build trust. I always ask permission before any physical contact is made such as dropping a shoulder or adjusting the angle of the face or body as my standard posing directions.
Having "wrapped" many women I directly asked them what they wanted to "work on" and accomplish with their wrap, and I've heard it all. So I know all the "trouble spots" and what areas a woman is concerned about which carries over to photography.
Additionally, in 2012 I became the senior photographer at an upscale dating company where about 80% of the 2500 clients were women. I helped them build their dating profile with flattering images and let's just say that not every client was a Lynda Carter. Many presented challenges and I learned how to pose and illuminate a woman in ways to diminish those "trouble spots" in an image to reveal her beauty.
So, I understand the concerns, I understand the issues and I understand respectful professional behavior. Let's talk about your goals and let's create some magical images!
