The power of Unedited Galleries
Patrick Falaniko • 19 March 2025
Our unedited boudoir photography gallery is our most popular package add-on! Women love having a record of their day pre-edit. Honestly, some days I feel like I could be a completely Photoshop-free photographer—especially when it comes to body love photography.
Why do you think that is?
Amanda shared:
“I did a boudoir shoot years ago and was really disappointed with how much they edited my body, even though I was clear that wasn’t what I wanted.”
Lucy put it beautifully:
“Because it shows women in reality—in a moment that is deeply personal, unapologetically sensual, and connected to who she truly is. That is intoxicating and impossible not to be in awe of. That’s the secret sauce. Allow a woman the space, freedom, and environment to connect with the parts of herself that have been quelled, shamed, or repulsed by society—and watch the magic unfold. That’s what’s in those unedited photos. That’s what draws other women in. They are physical permission slips for other women to step into their true selves.”
Less Filters, More Power
In a world of hyper-edited and filtered social media, seeing the powerful beauty of women exactly as they are has never been more important. And I’m grateful that our clients agree.
It’s why we created a private VIP community of women
where you can meet, chat, and see for yourself—these are real, everyday women. Not highly airbrushed or manipulated images.
It’s also why:
• We don’t take on some styles of pin-up/fashion photography that feel overly artificial.
• We take time to help clients feel more camera-confident, explaining why and how photos turn out the way they do.
• We offer body love nude photography and even a no-makeup nude photoshoot option.
• We sell unedited boudoir photography galleries as an add on—one of our most popular services.
• We provide a safe space for sensual and erotic photography, capturing self-expression in its emotive, & unfiltered form.
Don’t get me wrong—I love hair, makeup, and sparkles as much as anyone. But I also believe there should always be space for natural goddesses, everyday realness, and authentic self-expression. That’s why we offer everything from boudoir nude photography to studio nude photography—so you can celebrate yourself in whatever way feels most true to you.
Celebrate Yourself, Inspire Others
These unedited images are powerful - they create ripples. Every time a woman sees another woman owning her body without apology, it moves something. It’s an invitation. A permission slip. That's why we only take on
ambassadors
who are at a minimum comfortable with our bodylove themes.
That’s why I do this work.
And whether you then decide to order 10 or 50 beautifully edited images, the foundation of your gallery will always be built on you and your own unique gorgeousness. And so will the option of purchasing an unedited gallery add-on at £199. Full session/Price list

Ten Quiet Truths I’ve Learned After 30 Years of Working With Women Over the years, I’ve been invited into some of the most vulnerable and powerful moments in women’s lives — and I never take that lightly. Body Love nudes & Boudoir photography isn’t any different, it's not about quick poses and fancy gear. It’s about presence, preparation, and deep respect. So whether you’re just starting out or refining your craft, here are ten gentle but essential truths I’ve learned that shape every session I do...
It must be getting close to 95% or more of clients choosing to go nude, whether body love confidence or more sensual and free expression. It has been very interesting, that although clients often bring dozens of cute lingerie outfits, often they are just launching points to a freer form of expression.
There are a thousand ways to express and capture erotic themes and sensuality—through movement, light, texture, and emotion. Whether you’re drawn to the raw intimacy of nude and erotic photography , the elegant allure of boudoir nude photography , or the timeless beauty of nude photography boudoir , every session is about capturing what makes you feel powerful, free, and uniquely yourself. When I launched as a photographer Sensual photography quickly became one of our most popular requests and we set up a page especially here .
One thing people don’t always realise about boudoir sessions? They are not all serious affairs. There is a LOT of laughing, unexpected moments, and the very rare wardrobe situations. They are celebrations of you, and especially birthdays, often there’s cake and balloons and the occasional glass of Prosecco too.

If you don't know what to wear for your session, look at this list for ideas.
Our philosophy is if you've got curves, why not lean in to it, celebrate those curves and your voluptuous self. That said, some poses, especially the sensual nudes can be quite challenging for the fuller busted woman for keeping everything in place. I've worked with hundreds of larger busted women over the last few years and the 'boob drop' when the bra comes off can be a concern for some. Not to worry, for added perkiness we've developed a few poses and tips and tricks to help things along. At the end of the day it's not possible to recreate the bounce of plastic, a little humour and patience goes a long way while we settle the 'girls' in for each set of photos :). And obviously we do encourage everyone to embrace what they are blessed with. And then of course we have lingerie, yay! When it comes to lift and separation, great fitting bras and lingerie really helps with that. I've bought a few pieces from Curvy Kate including their Dear Scantilly Range. So far, a great service, pieces are well made and a perfect fit for women up to 38 K, so I'm totally happy to recommend. More and more I see sheer, natural or structured bras that can add a variety of looks, and excitement, to your photo sessions. Their story. Curvy Kate's journey began with a launch through three small lingerie stores in and around London, specializing in plus-size fittings. Focused on providing the best D plus brands, the team faced challenges in offering the desired choice and fit to their customers. In 2006, a passionate team of bra enthusiasts at Curvy Kate decided to take matters into their own hands. They embarked on designing and producing a range tailored specifically for fuller-cupped individuals who sought something fun, fashionable, and, above all, beautifully fitted. Devoted to making women feel fabulous about their curves, Curvy Kate lives the "boob life," creating D to K cup lingerie and swimwear that curvy girls love. Their mission is simple: to make you happy by prioritizing fit, lift, shape, and comfort. The team works tirelessly to ensure your gorgeous figure gets everything it needs. Bras from Curvy Kate are rigorously tested by girls of all shapes, sizes, and curves. Only the snuggest, perkiest, and most comfortable designs earn a spot in their collection. Surprisingly, the average bra size they sell is a 34G, catering to a diverse range of sizes from small back sizes to plus sizes, including 40 to 44 backs and a variety of D to K cups. Their dedication to finding the perfect fit for all curvy bodies is showcased through the annual Star in a Bra competition, transforming one curvaceous lady into the poster girl for curvy girls everywhere. If you cherish your boobs as much as Curvy Kate does, they're here to help you discover the ideal fit! (Featured Elementary Plunge Bodysuit, Dear scantilly, Indulgence Stretch Lace Bodysuit in Ivory Cream worn by Jamie AKA @biggerbustbabe if you have any bigger bust questions, why not give her a follow) Interestingly some people think I specialise in photographing larger busted, curvier and plus-size women, but the truth is the average bust size in the UK is Double D and a size 16 so that 50% of the population DD and above. That's about the same for my client base. I just make sure they are showcased as much as everyone else :). Lingerie Spotlight: Celebrating UK lingerie designers and makers.
