Nicole - Boudoir can still be very sexy even without showing lots of skin or overly provocative poses. It’s all in the attitude
I still have my moments of self-consciousness, its only normal. My best advice is to pretend you are a character, wear a wig, change your makeup, etc… Creating a fantasy persona is key to coming out of your shell. There is something magical about dressing in gorgeous lingerie, sky high heels, and dramatic makeup, and a stunning wig that take you into a fantasy world that makes you feel like a goddess. Your confidence will be elevated and this will come across in your photos. Practice posing in front of a mirror to get your angles right and understand what poses flatter your figure the most. Confidence will come as you do it more and more. But remember to go only as far as you are comfortable with. Boudoir can still be very sexy even without showing lots of skin or overly provocative poses. It’s all in the attitude. Only pose how you like.
Pauline - Höre niemals auf, daran zu arbeiten, die beste Version deiner selbst zu werden! / Never stop working to become the best version of yourself!
Ich fühle mich sehr wohl auf meinen Bildern und für mich ist es ein Ausdruck von Kunst und Schönheit. Wichtig ist in meinen Augen immer, dass man sich nicht verstellt. Es muss authentisch sein, denn sonst spiegelt man keine Losgelassenheit in den Bildern wieder, was sehr wichtig ist und die Bilder erst ausdrucksstark macht. Was andere Leute über mich sagen ist mir egal. Es macht keinen Unterschied, ob man sich nackt zeigt oder nicht. Wenn die Leute schlecht über einen sprechen wollen, so tun sie es sowieso.
I feel very comfortable in my pictures and for me it is an expression of art and beauty. In my opinion, it is always important not to pretend. It has to be authentic, because otherwise you will not show any slackness in the pictures, which is very important and only makes the pictures expressive. I don't care what other people say about me. It makes no difference whether you show yourself naked or not. If people want to talk bad about you, they will anyway.
Lou - I am proud of what I've achieved and I've worked hard to feel confident with my body
There's been a lot of changes for me over the last year with work/life balance etc, so I'm trying to get back in a good routine with my fitness and continue to push myself. I am planning on competing again next year as that's my big 50th year so I plan to give it my all and come home with some more trophies!! So focus on fitness and building will have to start around Aug/Sep and I plan to still do as much modelling as I can in between. I've worked with many talented photographers but there's still more on my radar! I have also just recently started to Pole which I love so cannot wait to learn more dance based routines and show this off too!
I'm so thankful I did this in my life, I have met the most amazing people along the way and have the most amazing images to look back on... do it, you will have no regrets!

Do not be afraid of criticism and only then show yourself and bring out the best of yourself.
