As this is our last blog post for 2015, we thought it should be something not only inspiring but also a little different. On the last day of the Photo & Film Expo on the Vanguard Training Stage, Chantal decided to demonstrate how to photograph the beautiful milk bath.

The milk bath has always been something that has fascinated women throughout the ages, the most famous of those was Cleopatra. She was said to be the most beautiful woman on earth, her soft radiant skin was the envy of everyone, and she said her secret was to bathe in donkey's milk. She used to add honey, lavender and rose petals to scent it, but as you can imagine, this is just not practical to do in a photo-shoot situation.

Therefore, we re-created the milk bath scene using a kiddies blowup pool filled with warm water, a bottle of Fenjal Bath Oil and a bunch of flowers. While Monique did Roxy's gorgeous hair and makeup, we set everything up. The set included a ladder, a versatile Vanguard tripod and Photon Continuous lights.

We just love how the water moves around the body, and how sensual and beautiful the Milk Bath is.  It is definitely something we want to do again.

Here is a peak at the gorgeous Roxy in the Milk Bath:

The ladies at femme fatale boudoir would like to thank everyone who attended the talks, and especially a big thank you to our fabulous sponsors: Photon Lighting and Vanguard Camera Bags & Tripods for the opportunity to not only represent them, but also for allowing us to demonstrate how to use their wonderful products on stage at the Photo & Film Expo.

The third presentation in the series of talks by Chantal at the Photo & Film Expo was 'Essentials of Boudoir Lighting'. 

Foxy Miss Roxy is so awesome to work with, so we asked her to be our model again.  This gorgeous young lady is extremely versatile, and this time she chose a sexy black steampunk feel outfit that suits her personal style. Our super talented Makeup by Monique did the most beautiful smokey eye for Roxy and finished up her look with a gorgeous hairstyle, which perfectly complimented Roxy's outfit choice.

Roxy's final look prompted us to do something a bit different from normal ... and we decided to create a simple but really beautiful set from a pop up backdrop, a red chair and some dark coloured organza.  As our demonstration was about using the Photon Continuous lighting, we created the whole look on stage, and showed how to add different lights to change the feel of the photo.  

Our aim was to illustrate the simplicity and softness of continuous lighting, and we demonstrated some easy tips & tricks to achieving great looking images, and this was really well received by our wonderful audience.   

Here is a peak at the gorgeous Roxy, who is always willing to work with us & is just fabulous in every way.

The second presentation in the series of talks by Chantal at the Photo & Film Expo was 'Essentials of Boudoir Posing'. 

In this demonstration, Foxy Miss Roxy was our stunning model again, and opted for a gorgeous sultry red outfit. Her sexy makeup and hair styling was done by our super talented Makeup by Monique, which perfectly complimented Roxy's outfit choice.

The presentation went extremely well and the aim was to illustrate some simple tips & tricks, to make every woman look gorgeous...even with the simplest of backgrounds. Which we think was totally achieved!
