Photography is more popular than ever. While some future-focused photographers blend modes and styles, others want to capitalise on the latest trend in “intimate” photography. Nude and boudoir shoots have exploded in popularity in Australia. The photographers offering them say the work is emotional, fulfilling and mind-bending.
When Jaq, owner of Gang of Babes Photography in Melbourne, decided to offer shoots with nudity, she had a very specific vision. ‘It’s not about sexy,’ Jaq tells ArtsHub. ‘It’s about body neutrality. It’s about saying, “You know what? This body has got me this far. And we’re just going to honour that, in this moment of my life.”’
