Chicago Nude Portrait Photographer: Playboy Test Shoot

Posted on February 3, 2012 by Jennifer Avello

I want to share with you all some images from my Playboy test shoot. I was approached by Playboy to shoot a test with them back in May. They were looking for a new fresh approach to shooting nudes and were really interested in putting a whole new spin on the “girl next door,” concept. I’ve always been attracted to nude portraits and was definitely thrilled to have the chance to test with Playboy. My approach to this project was to shoot nudes with a modern fashion aesthetic. I still wanted to keep the images very clean and bright in lighting but bring in some color and depth through my choice of backgrounds and scenery. I really wanted my images to reach out to a larger audience with the interest of both men and women. I am extremely happy and proud of these images. Unfortunately for me, Chicago has sold their company to Montreal and they are currently in the process of transitioning, so my shoot will not be published. Never the less, I heard nothing but great feedback.
