Meet the team at Carmen’s Boudoir
Carmen
Your Photographer
Hi! I’m Carmen and I’d love to be your photographer. I am doing what I love and it cannot get any better than that.
I have been living and breathing photography since 1995. After my 3 year education and German certifications in photography and image processing I worked for commercial, fashion and brand agencies in Munich, Sydney and Melbourne.
My ever lasting passion for boudoir photography has made me a specialist in all aspects. Starting with a humble studio in Munich in 2000, I ventured out to Australia and settled in Melbourne in 2006. My studio is a private place with all we need. I love locations shoots and am up for any creative ideas we can brew together.
After years of high end retouching in advertising and publishing I don’t come across anything impossible in photoshop 🙂
I will demonstrate the poses and you can mirror me, so you will get relaxed and have some fun putting your own character in place. Some poses might feel awkward but I will know what looks best in camera. I work quickly to create a variety of images that are fun, sexy, and classy. I am all for a stress free fun experience and I think I do have a very open bubbly character which will help you to trust me quickly and put away any doubts.
