Pussywillow's Boudoir: January 2012

Monday 23 January 2012

The following shots are from one of my first shoots in the UK. They are some of my favourite shots ever and the photographer is the wonderful Rebecca Imogen Tun. You may know her better as the model Rebecca Tun >>>>

How lush! For more of her modelling work check out her Model Mayhem page - http://www.modelmayhem.com/822673 The girl has skillz!

The shoot took place in her family home in Cambridgeshire, and Hayley Bird, a ridiculously talented makeup artist from Norwich, joined us for the day to take charge of all things face-arty related! The concept was vintage boudoir, think burlesque beauty relaxing in her quarters after a night on stage. Here are the results...

I love how these turned out. They have a really sensual, feminine feel to them and I adore the glamourous makeup and luxurious styling.

Kudos to Rebecca's family, who were lovely and let me have a Chinese with them ;)

Just a quick post before the fella gets back from the pub. I could have gone, it was by all accounts a very civilised, enjoyable affair, but I'm more of a pyjamas and hot chocolate kind of girl, if I'm being honest ;) Anyhoo, to some shameless photo whoring! These are from 2010, I think. There may be a wee bit of overlap with 2011 but I'll do my best to avoid it :)

...And one I forgot to post in my last entry - by Stephen Comiskey, 2009:

My next few blog entries will be focusing on individual, more recent shoots. It will present me with a chance to describe the kind of things that go on at photoshoots, the interesting locations, beautiful styling and the amount of work that goes into each shoot., both before, during and after, by everyone involved.

Goodnight everyone!

Greetings! I decided that a personal blog was long overdue because, well, I do a lot of stuff and I enjoy sharing it :) Firstly, a bit about me. I'm a 25 year old part-time art, fetish and artisitic nude model originally from Dublin but now living in Cambridge. It wasn't a random decision to move here, I came for love :) My boyfriend, who's Irish also, is a complete brainbox and ended up doing a PHD here in the University of Cambridge, and it was only fair that I come over too and act as his translator. Lets just say his accent is...thick :p

I've been modelling on and off for about 3 years now, and have achieved so much that I never thought I would. I specialise mainly in artistic nude, but I do dabble in other genres occasionally, which I'm more than happy to do but I know what I'm good at. I have a very classic, feminine figure, reminiscent of a Rubens painting, or so I've been told on many occasions. I'm extremely comfortable with my body. There is such freedom being nude, its like nothing else. Nothing compares to the pure joy and elation of being at one with your naked form. I'll be honest though, it's taken me a while to get where I am mentally right now with my body, to love it for what it is and to embrace its flaws and imperfections, something which, sadly, many people will go through their life hating. I eat a healthy, mainly vegetarian diet, but don't deny myself if I want a treat and eat meat occasionally. Also I cycle everywhere and go running when I can so I'm fit, if a bit squidgy in places :p

There are times where I sit back and honestly can't believe I'm here, doing this. I was always the shy one with no self-confidence and never thought I was cut out for anything, let alone modelling, so I'm proud of myself for sticking to it and making it work. I can't thank enough all of the wonderful photographers, artists, and creative individuals who have helped me to realise my visions or be a part of theirs.

And now, the goods! Here's a selection of my favourite images spanning from 2009 to early 2010.
