Shawn’s thoughts on this image. “This is a wonderful bridal boudoir image. It is a beautiful pose, with nice asymmetry in the legs and a kill arch in her back. Nice use of the natural light with out over powering her with all the white tulle glowing.”

This week’s choices were selected by Shawn Black of Couture Black based out of Boston, MA. He has been photographing boudoir for over 8 years and recently acquired AIBP. He is looking forward to continuing to push the boudoir genre forward.
And the Weekly Choice Winner is…..
Laura Robinson from Ellarre Boudoir based out of Minneapolis, MN.
Shawn selected this image because, “There are so may things I love about this image. To start the lighting is exquisite the way that it falls on her body in the foreground while also still defining her in the reflection. The pose and framing work so well with the dual image so well. Finally the retouch done on her skin is perfect where it leaves just enough texture to keep her from looking plastic.”
1st Runner up this week is Sarah Brown of Sarah Brown Boudoir.
What Shawn had to say about this image. “This is a beautiful white sheet implied nude. I especially like the pose and angle that this was shot from that not only flatters her form, but provides for a level of anonymity which only adds to the final image.”
2nd runner up go to Renee Lee of Be.Boudoir.
Shawn felt that “This is a beautiful not traditional tub pose. I love how the lighting shows off the definition in her arm and the cheekiness of the over the shoulder look playing off the implied nude just works for a fun image.”
Congratulation to the Weekly Choice Winner, Ellarre Boudoir and the 2 runner ups, Sarah Brown Boudoir & Be.Boudoir. We look forward to seeing more amazing work from you and other AIBP Members.

And the Weekly Choice Winner is…..
Romain Deprick from Maestro VII based out of Orange County, CA.
Shawn selected this image because, “I’m a sucker for a great black and white image and I love the conversion done here.

1st Runner up this week is Sue Bruce of Finest Courtier based in Lexington MA.
What Shawn had to say about this image. “This is a beautifully staged water shot. I enjoy the use of color from all the florals incorporated into the image contrasted with the white of the gown she his wearing.”

Shawn felt that “Something about the anonymity and caught in the moment feel of this image’s framing caught my. Being able to partially see her face while the attention is drawn to her chest both with focus and pose makes this image stand out.

AIBP Weekly Choice Winner 10/15/2021
We are happy to announce this week’s winner AIBP Weekly Choice Image Competition!
This week’s choices were selected by Marietta Hardwick owner of Etta Boudoir in Chicago’s North Suburbs. She has been helping women tell their unique story through boudoir photography exclusively since 2012. Marietta joined UAF Photo Lab last year as their Tradeshow and Event Director.
And the Weekly Choice Winner is…..
Kamil Jania from Kamil Jania Boudoir based in Poland.
What Marietta had to say, “This image drew my attention because, while seemingly only a detail shot, it captures perfectly the melding of textural details that give the overall composition a depth that made me wonder what that particular moment felt for the subject. The ice is perfectly captured and plays with the lights filtering through, the shadows, and the textures of the skin to perfectly reflect the scene at hand.”
1st Runner up this week is Lindsey Shaw of Lacy Dreams Boudoir based in Fort Worth, Texas.
Marietta’s thoughts “This image evokes romanticism from positioning to the hairstyle cascading subtly in rich brown waves down her back while seductively closing her eyes in imaginary bliss. The lash detail draws one’s eye and evokes the romanticism intended.”
2nd runner up go to Yvonne Renckens of Powervrouwen netwerk from the Netherlands.
Marietta’s comments on this image, “In this detail shot, there is an utterly unfiltered view of something almost fetishist about the image. It’s dark and somewhat moody and there is barely no evident retouching so, when the honey itself has some fantastic specular highlights that reflect the nature of the lighting available, you believe those are completely natural and reflect the available light perfectly. You can really envision the viscose properties of the honey and the way that it is splayed on the area is suggestive of something much more sensual going on.”
Congratulation to the Weekly Choice Winner, Kamil Jania Boudoir and the 2 runner ups, Lacy Dreams Boudoir & Powervrouwen netwerk. We look forward to seeing more amazing work from you and other AIBP Members. Thank you to Marietta for judging this week!

And the Weekly Choice Winner is…..
Kiati Plooksawasdi from Kiati Plooks Photography based in Elliot City, MD.
Michelle’s thoughts on this image “I was drawn to this image because of the beautifully executed back arch that allows the light to peak through giving shape to her back in this seemingly simple wall pose. The fall off from highlight to shadow completes the definition of her beautiful form.”
1st Runner up this week is Kelly East of Boudoir By Kelly based in Somerset West, Cape Town, South Africa
Why Michelle selected this image. “For a detail shot I like the usage of very basic wardrobe, but the best part of the image for me is the remaining texture of her skin. Had she been retouched completely smooth it would have lost something.”
2nd runner up go to Hillary West of Hillary West Studios.
Michelle’s thought on this image “I like the unashamed playfulness in the image from wardrobe or lack there of to the pose, especially the right hand. Her intense connection completes the image as her eyes draw you in.”
