Absolutely! The aesthetics of understanding and appreciating sexuality and erotica as an art form require a certain level of erudition and civility. Glad to have you here. :)

Well said, I am so happy to see someone who can understand erotic art as an expansion of our perspective of the human body. Being that we are a country that is conservative, this form of art stands to be very misunderstood. Sexuality is a form of human expression and our way of being/living so it deserves its place on the canvas! 👏🏽

Thanks Aasheesh. Boudoir/Erotica Photography as a genre is very niche. As a photographer, one needs to understand, respect and acknowledge the privacy of the subject/muse they are working with. It apparently does look so lucrative and I am often asked by people how do I do it. I would like to state two important things here: Firstly, one needs to be a good human being to become a good photographer. The trust, the bonhomie, the camaraderie, the rapport, the comfort level, everything follows thereafter. Secondly, the frames you see are how I see them, what goes inside my mind while I am watching them in front of me, in their most bare essentials. The environment around just adds on to the overall aesthetics or the lack of it. :)

Since this is such a niche photography perspective, how do you usually go about gaining comfort and trust from your models? Also hats off to how you play with contrast, lights and shadows! Kudos!
