ADDING ONE MORE LINGERIE / NUDE LIGHTING WORKSHOP THIS YEAR, CHECK BELOW AND EVENTS.....

Hi, Welcome, and Thank You for checking out my stuff!

I have a hilariously fun time on photoshoots, and everyone I have shot with tells me they did too!    Perhaps it's the Three Stooges / Marx Brothers atmosphere, with me falling off the ladder, losing the camera when it's 3 feet away, bumping my head on the ceiling, or asking for the 50th time "where the heck is my light meter?"    (All of you girls who have shot with me know what I'm talking about!)

I'm really bad "Type A", but scattered............   AND, very serious about lighting you to get the best possible images for you.......

OKAY, OKAY, due to many of the girls I've worked with here telling me to show some of my "Regular Work"  (Not Nude and Lingerie), I've added some images from various other jobs.  Hope y'all like the stuff.  They seem rather "Plain Vanilla" to put on MM, but here they are.....  Go to page two of my work to view this stuff.....

TFCD PROJECT:
Right now, about 75% of my business consists of the classic and elegant Boudoir / Lingerie / Topless Nude work for Brides-To-Be, and the ordinary, everyday soccer mom, Jewel clerk, Teacher, Nurse, etc. who purchase the photography for their Fiance's, husbands, boyfriends, etc, or sometimes, just for themselves.

If you are a Model needing Lingerie/Nude photography, I am presently looking for Models to pose in Lingerie/Topless Nude.  Outfits are provided free by one of Chicago's biggest lingerie Boutiques, who I work with a lot for my private Clients.  Occasionally, depending on the season, you can keep the outfits, but check with me ahead of time, it depends on their inventory.  I am going to use the resulting images to produce example 5 X 7 Wedding quality albums for prospective Boudoir Clients to look through as samples of what I can order for them from my old Wedding Album supplier.   Compensation is TFCD, and I give you your 8 "best of the best" images completely retouched on CD in full-size, full-rez files.

Rates:   My fees are on my website, and there is a great special going on now for portfolio shoots.  I will extend an additional $50.00 off my unlimited-time portfolio photosession for MM Models.  You simply need only mention your MM number when inquiring / scheduling.

I don't do crazy photoshop effects like purple dragons pulling your legs down into the ocean while lighting bolts shoot out of your head, but I do try to capture your essence and personality...... 

Here is your warning........  I DO tend to get really wound up on Diet Mountain Dew during a shoot!!!!!!!!!   (I sometimes even share!)


BOUDOIR / NUDE WORKSHOP INFO!!!!!   December 6th, ON-LOCATION Boudoir / Lingerie / Nude Workshop, NOT IN THE STUDIO this year!  This will be shot in an elegant home in Tinley Park, not my studio, so we will get "out" of the comfort of our own studio areas, and get used to seeing ANY home as viable for a Client Boudoir Shoot!  See the event forum for more details, or e-mail me direct:  raylloydphoto@sbcglobal.net    TWO GREAT MODELS, INCLUDING OUR CHICAGO'S OWN RACHEL JAY!!!!

WORKSHOP UPDATE!!!!!!    The last workshop on October 18th went excellently, with all our photographers shooting hundreds of interesting and gorgeous images!  Thanks to Rachel, MM 178099;  Lorrisa, MM 452247 (our very talented MUA);  and Christina, OMP 376226 for providing such talent.  We may offer one more workshop for this year if enough photographers are interested.
