Q.  I have see on television "How to look good naked" would love to try but feel very conscious about myself.

A.  We are acutely aware that you may be nervous and conscious,  The whole shoot is undertaken to make you feel relaxed and comfortable.  You will wear a dressing gown while we show you the poses and setup and test the light.  The studio lights are turned off to make you feel less "in the spotlight"  and only when we are totally happy with the pose and light do we remove the gown.  Once the shots are taken the gown is replaced.    Any adjustments that need to be made to for example hair, we cover you with the gown and I ask if myself, my assistant or your partner / friend may approach you to make any adjustments.  I constantly let you know what is going on and what we are doing and why.  This helps you feel part of the shoot.
