Undressed

A ClickClickBang Photography project for 2022

I want to photograph a series of portraits showcasing the confidence created during a portrait session-taking the subject from contemporary portraits in beautiful fully clothed images, through to lingerie or implied nude intimate boudoir portraits.

I am looking for all gender identifications, with emphasis on women, trans and non-binary people and its limited to 40 people in total.

I’m looking to create images that reflect the subject perfectly, and show their increasing confidence as the session progresses, to show the true value of portrait photography and its importance in developing self-esteem and self-acceptance.

My goal is to have a local exhibition showcasing these portraits and the subjects story, with every participant receiving a complimentary printed portrait as a thank you for taking part.

Information

What does the shoot include?

• A design and style consultation to discuss how you want to be photographed, including outfit selections etc.

• Professional camera ready hair and makeup on the day of your photoshoot. I will pamper you and make you look and feel AMAZING!

• Access to the studio wardrobe'.

• A fully guided professional photoshoot in my Colne, Lancashire studio that will leave you feeling confident and powerful.

• A personal reveal session around 2 weeks after your shoot, where you come back to the studio to view your finished images for the first time.

• One 8x10 portrait (mounted to 11x14) and accompanying digital file. The value of this beautiful mounted image is £130 and will be yours to keep once the exhibition has finished.

• Your photo and/or video along with your story will be published on social media, online and at the exhibition.

• Two tickets to a champagne party exhibition featuring YOUR portraits and each of the other amazing participants from this project.

So do I have to get naked?

Absolutely not! You can remain fully clothed or even just covered in sheets, there are many ways to make a boudoir portrait and nudity is not required. I will go over this in full and show you examples during your shoot consultation and make sure that you are 100% comfortable with the plan for your photoshoot.

I’ll be honest, most people come in saying ‘Oh no, I would never get naked/strip down to my underwear’ but once you get into the groove of the experience and your confidence grows, you may find you become braver than you ever thought possible!

What does it cost?

The cost to be part of the Undressed Project is just £50.

The total value of this offer (photoshoot, mounted print and champagne party) is over £500!

About two weeks after your shoot, you will return to my studio to view your images for the first time.
You are under no obligation to purchase any more images. All I want is to make images you fall in love with, what you spend is completely up to you.
But should you wish to, mounted images start at £120 and image collections start at £900.

If I want to buy more, do you offer payment plans so I can spread the cost?

Yes I do! I offer 4 ways to pay:

• In full at your reveal session

• Up to 12 months in advance with a pre-payment plan (pre-pay customers get access to special bonuses too!), this project will run until Jan 2023 so plenty of time to book your session in

• Up to 6 months after your shoot with a post-payment plan

• You can apply for PayPal Credit (0% up to 6 months). I can’t do this one for you however but upon approval, I will create an invoice for you in PayPal and you can checkout with PayPal Credit, paying for your purchase in full. If you do this in advance of your shoot, you will also get access to the special bonuses for pre-paid customers

I will, of course, go through these options in more detail during your pre-shoot consultations!

Ahh, I need a little more convincing….

Say no more. As a photographer, I am notorious for avoiding having my pictures taken myself! I’ve had a long history of eating disorders and self esteem issues, but I wanted to start this project with myself. I felt it was important to practise what I preach! I went into it with my usual fear and trepidation - I really do hate being photographed!- but I was so surprised, I LOVE my portraits and I’m over the moon at how powerful and beautiful and regal and sexy and confident I feel when I look at them. All these were taken on the same day, with the help of my (very non-photographer!) husband. I never in my life felt what my clients feel until these portraits, I have them on display in my home and I look at them every single day. I didn’t feel the need to photoshop myself to oblivion, I left in my stretchmarks, my scars, my cellulite, and I still adore them.

If I can do this for me, I can DEFINITELY do it for you!!
