Seeing the Forest for the Trees, or Something Like That...
Music | Flame Trees by Sarah Blasko
Photo Privé has always been about producing the finest images with the idea of creating pieces of art. Just yesterday, a friend made a comment about something I had said about photographing young naked women in France when I retire. She asked why only young women, why not women in their 40's +. Then another friend agreed as she was in her 50's...
You know how a light bulb lights up above your head when something pops into your mind? Well, I have to thank Anne and Alina for stepping up and putting the obvious in my head. While I know not all women want to be photographed in provocative poses, nude or implied, I would think everyone would love to have a fine photograph or themselves. A true representation of themselves or something totally opposite, in a portrait format.
Photo Privé has just created a Portrait category for services we render. On the site will be a great representation of my favorite photography genre, Portraits. I hope to showcase a variety of portraits, women of all ages and celebrate the beauty that is, Woman.

Beauty and Twilight...
Music | Lonely Woman by Ornette Coleman
I photograph women for the sake of capturing beauty. Saturday mid evening, the sun slowly setting over the hills to the west, twilight suddenly cast its light upon us. It really is a magical time as the sweetest light envelopes everything. Lay a woman upon the ground upon a dry like river bed and what do you have... Beauty. We know the sun sets to the west, giving a directional light, left to right, but when the source of light hides beyond the horizon, the entire sky turns into the light source. It isn't only it's softness that defines Twilight, it is also the colour - An indescribable hue that mixes blues, reds and yellows... A time of calm, a time to take in a deep breath and be with beauty...

Photo Prive
Music | Big Paul by John Coltrane
Photo Privé
This is the latest incarnation I've come up with where creativity, art and commerce is balanced and where I feel I am not selling out my vision as an artist. That is also the basis of Photo Privé, more so about art and the provocative nature of women, than the 'sexy", "pretty", "gorgeous" adjectives used to portray other photographers that are photographing women in the "boudoir" style.
I don't think Photo Privé and boudoir have anything in common. But to reach the women who want to step up and in many ways, create art for themselves or to the masses, we have to start somewhere. I do in fact think Photo Privé is far beyond where boudoir ends. And so today is born the phrase, photographing women in the Privé tradition...

A Muse...
Music | Lontano by Jose Padilla
Sherri has been a long time friend and muse. I remember seeing her around various art events we would both attend. Then, in the neighborhood, a new café opened up and it just so happened she had her mornings there, quite often. Needless to say I found a new place to sip my americanos as well. Over the next few months, we finally got to know one another. In more instances than a few, Sherri has pulled me out of artistic lulls and it is easy to see why.
We've made various photographs together from simple studio portraits, candid shots out in the park, and photos that would be appropriate for at the time a non existent Photo Privé.
This photo is an great example to a question I often get about shooting with Photo Privé. "Do I have to be naked?" My answer would be, no. There are so many ways of making a statement without having to be nude. Often, the perception of a nude body can as provocative as a nude itself and sometimes even more so.

of Women in Art...
Music | Danny Boy by Bill Evans
I love the lines and shapes created by the light and shadow of a woman.
