Second Time Around

It is amazing how many clients have come for a second shoot this year. Ms. T had her first shoot in 2009 and came back to day to try out 2 different studio sets. This shot was taken in our Glamorous studio set and we had to ask Ms. T if we could share it as we think she looks stunning!

Something for the Weekend

Brilliant couple shoot today with Mr & Mrs H. Mrs H. had been to us for a shoot in August and had such a great time she persuaded her hubby to come back with her to do some pictures together. We also did some individual shots of Mr H. who was pleased to see that all his hard work in the gym leading up to the shoot paid off. We couldn't resist trying out a new pose which he very kindly said we could share. Fabulous! Visit our website to see more Men's Physique Photography

Life begins at 40...

Diane's story of how her Mighty Aphrodite shoot had the "How to Look Good Naked" effect!

"At the beginning of 2008 I had a shaggy shapeless mop of hair and had been wearing glasses since the age of seven. I was a busy working Mum with no time for myself and had been that way for over fifteen years!!

So what happened? My daughter happened! She and I both love Gok Wan and his way of making a girl look again at the way she sees herself. As my 40th birthday approached I became obsessed with my age and everything else paled into insignificance. Eventually, my 15 year old daughter, Emily, suggested that I get a grip, have a new haircut and lose the glasses.
So I did! She came with me to the hairdressers and the hair went. I loved it! Why didn't I do this years ago? Next I saw the optician and swapped my glasses for contact lens… I haven't looked back since - I even bought make-up and used it!

I felt so different that I decided a portrait was in order ... not a naked one at this point - just a regular photo but that led onto thoughts of what to wear… or not… and then I found Mighty Aphrodite!

The idea of a naked photo shoot was firmly planted in my head and just wouldn't go away. Don't get me wrong - I am rather timid really - but I simply couldn't shake the idea and felt that if I was really going to make a statement then I should just go for it.
They had so many beautiful photos on their website but I just couldn't get away from one particular image...a girl, naked, bound by chains, suspended in darkness ...
That was it - the more I dared myself the more I wanted to do it…so I decided to be brave and have a go.

If truth be told I never thought I would actually do the whole naked thing and hoped to come away with a few nice lingerie shots...in fact, when the day came, I allowed myself to follow my heart...I dared to be me…and won!

Leigh was great - really down to earth and he made me feel completely at my ease. Nothing awkward or forced and it was really rather fun ;-) Zena was fab too and her compliments and easy manner made me completely relax.

The lighting was carefully done and Leigh knew exactly which shots would flatter me. I bravely told him which shot had inspired me and he said that there was no reason why I couldn’t go for it… I was braver than I dared to hope ... and I am so pleased with the results.

My fantastic hubby, John, was with me for the whole shoot and he thought it was fabulous! He was so proud of me and spent the whole time grinning from ear to ear.

It took all my courage but I did it - I got naked in front of a stranger and had him take photos of me. It was the wildest, most scary thing I had ever done but it was great!!

The photos gave me the confidence to do what girls do best… shopping! Previously I had been a frustrated shopper, looking for clothes which covered me up and hid the parts I didn't want to show. But now... I looked for tops which showed my shape, I wasn’t afraid of wearing things a little more fitted and I tried on high heel shoes - it felt good - really good.

My confidence soared and I started thinking about my life and about other things I wanted to do...You simply wouldn’t believe where this journey has taken me… ;-)"

Last Shoot of the Week

Today's shoot with Miss P was a great way to round off another busy week at Mighty Aphrodite. We did the Glamorous and Artistic Nude sets and after settling in with a few lingerie shots, Miss P took the plunge and decided to go nude. As is usually the case, she preferred the nude shots to the lingerie ones!
Her boyfriend is in Afghanistan at the moment and she couldn't wait to email him this picture from her shoot as a taster of what is waiting for him when he comes home.

Thank you Miss P for giving us permission to share this beautiful picture xx

Yvonne's Story

Yvonne, 48, had her shoot to make a Calendar for her boyfriend.
"I decided to get my boyfriend some pictures done as a special surprise for his birthday and also to help me as I was beginning to feel pretty unhappy with my body as I approached another birthday! I chose Mighty Aphrodite because the pictures shown on the site were so great that I thought if they could make me look half as good then I would be over the moon! I finally plucked up the courage to call and after 20 minutes chatting to Leigh I knew that I had chosen the right people.

Driving down to Reading on the day of the shoot I can't begin to explain how nervous I actually felt, I was shaking and had butterflies and suddenly began to question whether I would actually be able to do the shoot at all. I needn't have worried, Leigh and Zena sat me down with a cup of tea (there was me thinking that I would need a bottle of wine!) and chatted away like they had known me forever whilst we decided which underwear I should use.

We then went upstairs to the studio where Zena did my make up and then I got changed. I must admit I felt quite self conscious when I came out of the bathroom wearing stockings, heels and my underwear but again I was at ease within a few minutes and totally shocked myself within an hour by posing naked. During the course of the shoot I was given lots of opportunities to look at the pictures and could not believe that I could possibly look this good at my age.

I can't thank you both enough for the amazing confidence boost you gave me and the feeling that my body is fine and can still be quite sexy! I did not stop grinning for months and my boyfriend was gobsmacked when I gave him the calendar for his birthday and insisted on hanging it in the kitchen so everyone could see it ( I didn't really mind as I was very proud of the pictures). He is paying for me to have some more done next year as a present. I enjoyed the experience as much as he enjoyed the final pictures!!

To anyone contemplating having a shoot I would say "just do it", the experience is just amazing."

Our New Baby!

It is five years since we launched our gorgeous steel-covered ImageBook (how time flies)! Now to give you another beautiful option for your boudoir images, we are ready to unveil the ImageBook’s baby sister...the stunning Mighty Aphrodite ArtBook.






Sexier than a chocolate Ferrari, the glossy hardback ArtBook is A4 size with satin-finish pages. You can have a ten-page or a twenty-page version – depending on how many of your images you want to feature. The page layouts are designed around your images to give you a combination of different page styles including montages and double-page spreads so each ArtBook is unique.




You can have an image on the front and on the back cover, along with a dedication or any wording that takes your fancy. The ArtBook makes a really special gift, especially as you can dedicate the book to the one you love. Put an anonymous picture on the cover and keep him guessing, until he opens up the book and sees that it is YOU in the pictures. Then watch his jaw drop to the floor!

We will be launching the new ArtBook packages soon...
