We are happy to announce the June AIBP Monthly Choice Image Competition sponsored by UAF Photo Lab.

This month’s guest judge is Nino Batista.Nino Batista, a visionary in fashion, editorial erotica and sensual portraiture, has crafted a remarkable artistic journey.

And the winner is….

Kristina Daugherty – KJBoudoir

Congratulations to Kristina Daugherty from KJBoudoir based in Chesterfield VA.

Nino’s selected this image because “This one got me at first because I could not tell where the mirror was. I knew there had to be one, but it just looked like two subjects staring at each other across the room. Once I sorted out what was going on, I especially enjoyed how the concept was treated with a serious tone. Lingerie and that mask could go very campy very fast, but it didn’t, and the overall tone here and the post production work keeping it moody and subdued, really works very well. It’s bold and borders on erotica, and that is definitely never a bad thing.”

James Graf

1st runner up is James Graf.

Nino’s comments on this image “At first I was hesitant to select this one, but it’s pure glamour, and in that regard it works so well. I like the slightly overexposed background, I like the absurdity of the outfit (yay, glamour!) And the subject face not being seen. Adds a sort of air of mystery to it, and keeps it from being cheesy (which in this scenario could have happened easily). It’s sexy and well produced, and evokes even an odd storytelling element.”

 

Amy Laskye – Amy May Photography

2nd runner up is Amy Laskye of Amy May Photography.

Nino’s comments on this image “I am always partial to detail shots as they usually add some intimate intensity, and I especially like the various textures going on here. I think monochrome was a great choice as well. Highlights and shadows are kept very nicely in check, and that there’s plenty of contrast but everything is very clear. Very sensual but also fine art like.”

Felicitaciones a los ganadores del Concurso de Imagen de Elección Mensual patrocinado por UAF Photo Lab.  We look forward to seeing more amazing work from you and more AIBP members! Thank you so much to Nino for being out guest judge for July.  We know it’s never easy to select winning images as we have so many talented photographers.

MONTHLY CHOICE SPONSORED BY UAF PHOTO LABS JUNE 2023

We are happy to announce the June AIBP Monthly Choice Image Competition sponsored by UAF Photo Lab.

This month’s guest judge is Craig LaMere of Craig LaMere Photography & MOZ Studios.

A bit about Craig:

“I’ve been a full time professional photographer for 13 years. I’m based in Pocatello, Idaho where I run my full time studio. In those years I’ve been blessed to spend some of my time traveling the world shooting in amazing places and meeting incredible people. I have been an educator for 9 years teaching shooters my process of photography. I have been lucky enough to teach and speak at most of the major conferences in our industry as well as many of the state professional guilds. I have also been lucky enough throughout my travels to eat yummy food, drink great bourbon and have the best time ever. My greatest strength as a shooter has been coming from a place where I could not specialize in one genre. Being based in Idaho I have had to master many types of shooting, lighting, posing and post processing to be able to be a full time shooter. I take a lot of pride in my versatility and feel that’s what makes me the shooter I am.”

Craig is also a past educator at AIBP Retreats and a featured Educator with UAF Photo Lab.

Y el ganador de la elección mensual es…..

Jean Tully – Adored Boudoir Photography

Congratulations to Jean Tully from Adored Boudoir Photography based in Columbus OH.

Craig comments on the winning image “I think this a great example of less is more. I really like the story telling aspects of the image. It’s simple, but powerful and harder to pull off than you might think. The artist did a great job of managing the highlights and shadows. With images like this, it’s SUPER EASY to have the highlights in the white shirt and skin overpower the image with hotspots and loose detail. The fall off in the image is nicely executed. The transitions from detail to darkness is beautifully. I also think they used depth of field in a good way to lead us to the focal point. Really nice job.”

Kara Dunn – Midnight Sun Boudoir

1st runner up goes to Kara Dunn of  Midnight Sun Boudoir based in PA.

Craig selected this image “I really like the form of this image. The use of light to highlight her shape is great. I like the way the artist used restraint in bringing the light around TOO FAR. To me, it’s in the middle of split light and rim. They were able to create mood by putting the right amount to light on the right places. I find the toning of the image beautiful. The warm pallet adds to the image. I don’t think it would be as strong if it were BW. The use of the couch to accent her form and separate her from the background is nicely done. Whether is was by design or not the way the couch is lit on each side is really perfect. Nice job.”

Heather Glenn – Elysian Bloom Boudoir

2nd runner up image is from Heather Glenn from Elysian Bloom Boudoir based in Dallas, TX.

Craig’s comments on this image. “The story telling of the image is strong here. I really like the use of light to shape her form. The artist made a really nice choice to use a softer and larger light source. The light is perfectly placed on the point of interest. The contrast in the image is awesome too. Just enough detail to see all that is going on with the chains and straps, but dark enough to create shape and mood. I like how the light is reflecting in a the metal parts of the wardrobe to give some pop. The other thing to note is the harness is perfectly fitted. A lot of times these details not noticed and take away from the overall image if it’s too tight creating an indentation or too loose and look sloppy. Nice job.”

Heather Glenn – Elysian Bloom Boudoir

Felicidades Heather Glenn de Elysian Bloom Boudoir basado enDallas TX.

Los comentarios de Kiati sobre esta imagen “A menudo, una toma de detalle es algo que hacemos como una toma adicional que juega un papel secundario en la historia de la sesión que se muestra en un álbum, pero no en este caso. Esta imagen definitivamente se destaca como una pieza central. Hermoso uso de luces y sombras para esculpir el cuerpo. Me encantan los tonos y puedo verlo fácilmente como un gran arte de pared. ”

La primera finalista de mayo es Brianna Ellis de Brianna Lane Boudoir con sede en Stillwater, MN.

Los pensamientos de Kiati sobre esta imagen, “Me encanta cómo las líneas principales del marco del cuerpo atraen al espectador hacia el trasero como punto focal. El juego entre la oscuridad a la izquierda y la luz a la derecha también enmarca bien el cuerpo. Otra obra de arte bien elaborada que sería hermosa impresa en la pared o exhibida en el escritorio. Como imagen anónima, esta imagen funcionará tanto como paisaje como como retrato”

Brianna Ellis – Brianna Lane Boudoir

El segundo finalista es otra imagen de Brianna Ellis de Brianna Lane Boudoir con sede en Stillwater, MN.

Los comentarios de Kiati sobre esta imagen, “Puedes sentir la cruda emoción sensual en esta imagen. El tema está completamente presente en sus pensamientos y puedes verlo en los detalles de su pose. Puedes ver la tensión sensual en sus hombros a través del estallido de su clavícula ya través de sus brazos y dedos. El contraste del rojo y el blanco está bellamente equilibrado y eso se transmite no solo en las sábanas y su atuendo, sino también a través de la luz y las transiciones a través de su piel. ¡Bien hecho!"

We are happy to announce the March AIBP Monthly Choice Image Competition sponsored by UAF Photo Lab.

Our guest judge this week is Jacquline Tobin.

Jacqueline Tobin has worked in the photo industry for the past 37 years, kickstarting her illustrious career at the industry bible Photo District News and quickly moving up the editorial ladder there, as Associate Editor, Photo Editor, Managing Editor and, finally, Deputy Editor. After 25 years at PDN, Jacqueline was handpicked by then publisher Lauren Wendle to take over PDN‘s sister publication, Rangefinder, where she served as Editor-in-Chief for 12 years and successfully transitioned the 70-year-old print magazine in 2020 to a thriving website and digital brand.

Y el ganador de la elección mensual es…..

Ari Leo – Vivid Instincts Photography

Congratulations to Ari Leo owner and photographer at Vivid Instincts Photography based in Rhode Island.

Jacqueline’s comments on this winning image, “There are several reasons I chose this as my number one pick: the location, the subject’s reflection, the calm mood being exuded overall…. I can almost hear the waves lapping on the shore. It just feels so peaceful, and she looks so comfortable yet still sexy. I am really drawn in by her eyes and the connection made within the frame. I personally don’t see many, if any, boudoir shots out on the beach so I applaud the photographer for getting out of the studio and using this gorgeous backdrop that doesn’t compete with the subject but rather makes her stand out.”

Michelle Carpenter – Michelle Carpenter Photography

1st runner up goes to  Michelle Carpenter owner and photographer at Michelle Carpenter Photography based in New England.

Jacqueline’s comments on this runner up image, “For me, this is a great example of creating an impactful image in a boring location. I love the lighting and I love the club vibe being created in, of all places, a stairwell! I am always drawn to storytelling in the images that most draw me in and here I feel like everything here is working to establish an intriguing narrative. The image elicits questions that each viewer may have a different answer for—I love that. Also loving the editorial quality of the image.”

Melisa Berlin – Inner Glow Boudoir

2nd runner up image goes to Merissa Belin of  Inner Glow Boudoir based in Houston TX.

Jacqueline’s comments on this image, “This could absolutely a fashion spread in a magazine and is a good example of boudoir that, again, tells a story. There’s a good use of props here that work so well with the lingerie the subject is wearing, and with the feathery wings behind her. The lighting is moody and dreamy, and her expression looks to be one of longing. The subtle nuances here are so engaging.”

And finally, this year the judges have the opportunity to recognize Honorable Mention images. Jacqueline selected 1 from the entries for March.

James Graf

Honorable Mention goes to James Graf.

Jacqueline’s comments “Such an empowering image from beginning to end—the location sets the scene and stirs within me a proud warrior woman in a castle-like atmosphere. The posing is strong and really makes her pop without feeling forced.”
