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!

Benedetta D Anna - Mi dover giocare con la macchina fotografica e di sedurla / I have to play with the camera and seduce her

Credo che chi si avvicina a questo mondo debba fare prima una analisi di se stessa . Debba accettarsi e piacersi per i propri difetti e qualità .

Non avere paura delle critiche e solo dopo mostrarsi e tirar fuori il meglio di se .

I believe that anyone who approaches this world must first make an analysis of themselves. He must accept and like himself for his defects and qualities.
Do not be afraid of criticism and only then show yourself and bring out the best of yourself.

Serena Balduzzi - classe Italiana / Italian class

Ci si deve accettare per quello che si è con i propri difetti e pregi.

Nessuna è perfetta e ogni donna è bella a suo modo, ed è libera di sentirsi di realizzare quello che vuole purché si senta a proprio agio con il proprio corpo.

Per quanto riguarda il "cosa dirà la gente" posso riassumere così : posso fare quasi tutto quello che voglio fare e non devo fare niente di quello che non voglio fare.

Le persone che riescono a fare quello che vogliono sono rarissime, invidiatissime e costantemente criticate.

La buona notizia è che focalizzandosi esclusivamente sul fare quello che si vuole, il rumore di fondo della gente comune svanira'come il rumore di una nave che scompare all'orizzonte.

You have to accept yourself for what you are with your defects and strengths.

No one is perfect and every woman is beautiful in her own way, and is free to feel like accomplishing what she wants as long as she feels comfortable with her body.

As for "what will people say" I can sum it up like this: I can do almost anything I want to do and I don't have to do anything I don't want to do.

People who manage to do what they want are very rare, highly envied and constantly criticized.

The good news is that by focusing solely on doing what you want, the background noise of ordinary people will fade away like the sound of a ship disappearing over the horizon.
