I photographed a stranger, her name is Rianah

I wanted to push my videos out to YouTube sooner rather than later, so I asked a friend to find me a model, and she introduced me to Rianah. I had access to my friend's boudoir set, so we decided to do a boudoir shoot. If you're thinking, "He does those a whole bunch..." well, in these past few months, I have done it quite a bit.

I had some outfits from my last shoot, so we were set, model, set, makeup, and wardrobe. Then, on to my gear, I used my GoPro Black 12 for the behind-the-scenes shots. I used my Fujifilm X-T5 for stills, and for the videos, I used my Fujifilm X-H2s. This setup is the norm and includes lighting, which in most cases is my Profoto A2 and a Litepanel for video lighting, and for a more controlled smaller light, I use an "Icelight."

The room has a large window covered with a sheer white curtain, basically one huge lightbox. On the opposite side of the room, two large mirrors bounce the light back.
