Photographic commissions
Apart from the commissions, which are always a great
challenge, I really love working with female clients who
understand and appreciate my respect for, and my
admiration of, feminine beauty and sensuality. Some simply
want me to take their portraits, to document their beauty,
in my style; some want me to portray their elegance, their
femininity, their physical attraction. Others just delight in
the kick of being exhibitionists. Frequently, girls have said
to me – “I’m proud of my body. I feel good about it. Please
take some beautiful photos before it’s too late!”
Women often say – “I look better now than I ever did. I
want to show my girlfriends some sexy photos!” For the
shoot, some wear dresses, some lingerie and some Chanel
No.5. Frequently, ‘L’ couples or close girlfriends,
confident in the knowledge that they are beautiful when
they’re together, want me to immortalise the love and
physical intimacy in their relationship. Does any of this
strike a chord? If you sense that this is for you, do get in
touch and I will get back to you to discuss the shoot.

“During an opening night at a gallery in Sweden, the comment from a visitor was particularly telling. ‘I can see that your models really enjoy working with you!’ Thank you for the compliment. Observations such as these are gratifying. Yes they did, we did, enjoy working together. But in fact none of them were, or are, professional models: just young, motivated girls and ladies of exceptional inner and outer beauty who enjoyed working with me and my camera. And who are happy with their photos.
I like to think that the fact that most who express appreciation of my work with women are women gives my work legitimacy. Maybe women understand better than men that my work is visual evidence of my overriding respect for woman and my never-ceasing awe and admiration in the presence of female beauty.” Pascal d’Aboyer
