Who Am I ?

I’m Matthew — a silly, quiet, fun, calm, and detail-obsessed cinematographer who blended film, cosplay, beauty work, and lighting obsession into the boudoir style I shoot today.

My roots are in film. I went to film school, graduated valedictorian, and soaked up everything about lighting, visual storytelling, and creating mood through the camera. At the same time, I was already photographing boudoir-inspired shoots and working in commercial hair and beauty production. Both worlds ran side by side and shaped the way I see people, faces, and bodies on camera.

The cosplay community, short films, and beauty work pushed me toward character-driven, sensual, and cinematic portraits. What started as creative shoots slowly evolved into the full boudoir style I’m known for today — intimate, cinematic, and real.

My love for boudoir goes all the way back to classical art — Greek and Roman sculptures, paintings that celebrated every shape and body. That mindset carries into my work: anyone can look powerful and confident with the right lighting and perspective.

Working in the beauty industry sharpened my eye for detail. I notice how fabric sits, how hair falls, how light shapes a face. Being on the spectrum helps too — I naturally lock onto the small things that make a shot look right before I even click.

My studio is a 24/7 natural-light space powered by cinema-grade lighting. I approach boudoir the same way I light a film: natural, flattering, intentional. I’ll add color or surreal touches when the story calls for it. Think “movie stills, but sensual.”

Before every session, I ask about your vision, mood boards, boundaries, and comfort levels. Consent builds the whole framework. First-timers never get rushed — I guide you through posing, check in often, and show previews as we go so you can see the progression and feel your confidence build.

My goal with Intense Boudoir is simple: create a cinematic, empowering experience where anyone — any body, any background — feels like the main character under Hollywood lighting.
