Creative Portraits – Cornrows

Creative Portraits Creative Portraits are a great way to express your unique individuality through makeup, wardrobe or a combination of both! Jojo, a good friend and sometimes muse got the itch to shoot and always comes with an idea! This time she suggested doing something with cornrows. I did some research and found a bunch of inspiration including the following from Wikipedia: "Cornrows are a traditional African style of hair grooming where the hair is braided very close to the scalp" "Depictions of women with cornrows have been found in Stone Age paintings in the Tassili Plateau of the Sahara, and have been dated as far back as 3000 B.C." "This tradition of female styling…

Lighting Techniques – Light Tunnel with Nikki Leigh (NSFW)

Awhile back I posted a mini how-to on my Light Tunnel in Jen Rozenbaum's Boudoir Group on Facebook. Since then, I have been asked to do a blog post on it. I apologize for taking so long but here it is!  :-D Light Tunnel with Nikki Leigh Back in 2015, I got together with friend and local model Nikki Leigh to update our portfolios.  During planning, we agreed we would capture 3 looks with one of them being a nude set for submission. We met at my studio in Windsor's West side community called Olde Sandwich Town and worked through each look.  It is the final set, the nude set, where this technique was used.  I call it my…

Penthouse Photoshoot with Sexy Brunette Model at Caesar’s Windsor

Penthouse Photoshoot with Sexy Brunette Model at Caesar’s Windsor

Penthouse Photoshoot with Ornella Boudoir Photography is one of my favorite genres to photograph. I have a lot of exprience shooting boudoir images since I began learning lighting and really delved into this genre early on, with the help of my wife Sharon who was my model for the first 5-6 years of my journey in photography and lighting. I get a great sense of accomplishment and personal achievement in knowing that we deliver the best possible images we can to women who want images of themselves as gifts to themselves or their spouse, boyfriend or special someone. I recently worked with a local model in a luxury penthouse suite. I wanted to create a…

Portfolio Images – Katelynn Durham – 2016-02-18

I have worked with Katelynn a number of times in the past. If you have looked through our portfolio images here on akeyphoto.com, you may have recognized her. Katelynn has returned to resume modeling a while after the birth of her first child. This time she wanted to try some implied topless nudes and also shoot in her "schoolgirl" outfit. Her red hair will definitely leave an impression on you. :) Below is a small selection of images from her session. (Click on any photo to switch to the full screen viewer )

Location Portraits – Ashley

Location portraits are a nice change of pace from my studio work.  Sometimes, I just want to grab my camera, a model and go and shoot without all the extra gear.  This was one of those days. I always look forward to working with Ashley. She is always fun and we laugh a lot.  We got together for a couple of hours to shoot on location as a change from our studio collaborations. It was a cool day but not terribly frigid. I brought a single Yonguo manual flash, a small octabox in case I wanted to add fill light in backlit situations and my camera bag with camera body and lenses suitable for portraiture and landscape photography.…

Model Portfolio – Ashley

Model Portfolio - Ashley I have been mentoring new and aspiring models for quite some time, building their model portfolio, creating solid, usable and images worthy of publishing. Sometimes I work under the auspices of TF which gives me the chance to practice new photography, lighting and posing techniques or to affirm my grasp of techniques used previously. Ashley and I have been shooting TF and she is rapidly becoming somewhat of a muse.  We are still fairly new to working with each other but when I find a model who has ideas of her own to compliment mine and is appreciative of the model/photographer dynamic and the number of hours that go into quality image capture/creation, I end up working with that…

Wedding Photography – Danny & Mel – Fogolar Furlan

Wedding - Danny and Melanie - September 5, 2015 Wedding photography is a lot of work before, during and after the photography is all said and done but they are also a lot of fun! Danny and Melanie are career professionals whom I met while working at Goodlife Fitness in 2014. Melanie also worked at Goodlife and Danny is a sportsman who coaches hockey. Whilst conversing with Sharon (my wife), Melanie mentioned that she and Danny were getting married and didn't yet have a photographer. Sharon mentioned to them that I was an experienced photographer and that, together with she as my assistant photographer, we would love to capture the events of the day. Sharon introduced us, we talked and after…

Engagement – Derek and Crystal

The Engagement of Derek and Crystal This was a special engagement session! I have worked with Derek and Crystal a few times in the past. They are the sweetest couple ever! My favorite collaboration with them was a portfolio collaboration titled "Where the Wild Things Are" which was conceived by Crystal and features Derek, Em (another photographer/model friend) and Crystal herself. Good times! "We Want YOU!" So it was a very nice surprise when Crystal contacted me and said, "Ray, we want YOU!" (to shoot our engagement photos). After hearing their idea, it became very clear why they made their choice.  They wanted something inspired by the rain scene in The Notebook.  I admitted that I had never…

Boudoir Photography with Nelly

Windsor Boudoir Photographer: The Glamour/Boudoir Hybrid Boudoir photography should be alluring, elegant, enticing and full of desire. Typically it is a woman, couple or handsome gentleman in a bed, in various poses and states of undress. Add an elegant boudoir setting, usually a bedroom (where else would you find a bed right?) and you've got boudoir imagery. In contrast, Women in lingerie in locations other than a bed/boudoir/bedroom are typically labelled "glamour." I'll let you be your own judge as to what category you want to place it in. For my part all I ask is if you like the content, please share this post. :) Here is a small slideshow of Nelly in some sexy lingerie in the studio, so…
