Beautiful Hjordi | Hobart photographer, Katinka Smith

5 July 2014Beauty and fitnessHobart Boudoir photographer, Hobart photographer, Katinka SmithKatinka

When My lovely friend Hjordi was in town late last year I asked her to work with me on some beauty portraits of herself! It was so much fun to have a longtime bestie in front of my lens. Here are a few of the resulting images. I don’t think Hjordi had done anything like this before, but she was a total natural! How great does she look!

My favourite images from this set are the two at the bottom – I’d love to hear which are your favourites 🙂

Boris by Katinka Smith

3 March 2013Beauty and fitnessHobart photographer, Katinka Smith, photographer Hobart TasmaniaKatinka

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing the wonderful Boris. Male models in Hobart are in short supply, so Boris has quite a few photoshoots! hehe It was wonderful to work with Boris, lighting men is very different to lighting women I find. Soft lighting suits women, whereas harsher lighting suits men, especially when they have lovely muscles to define with the light and shadows.

So here is a small collection of images from my session with Boris. He was a wonderful model and a wonderful host. Thanks Boris!

Boris is getting married in about 5 weeks! So we thought we’d do a couple of shots in his get up as well. All the best for your happy future Boris and Ayda!!

Beautiful Bec! | Hobart Boudoir photographer

13 January 2013Beauty and fitnessHobart Boudoir photographer, Katinka Smith, photographer Hobart TasmaniaKatinka

This was such a special session, Bec and I went to high school together and so when she approached me for a special Boudoir session, I was honoured and thrilled to do this for her! Bec recently turned 30, has two small children and she is in SUPER shape (totally jealous right here)! How flipping awesome does she look? I really could have photographed her all day! We had so much fun. Bec was pumping some ‘old school’ music, we had a glass or two of wine and we had a blast.

It’s totally normal to be a bit nervous for a Boudoir session, but by the end I think it’s safe to say Bec was pretty comfortable in her magnificent body and was very happy to share some of the images from the session with you. So take a look and applaud this incredible woman!

When photographers say silly things…

Beautiful when she laughs…

My favourite:

Righto, fun is over. Back into the mummy clothes and it’s time to pick up the children.

Thank you Bec, I had a wonderful afternoon 🙂 x

The very beautiful Avril | Hobart photographer, Katinka Smith

17 December 2012Beauty and fitnessHobart photographer, modeling Hobart, photographer Hobart TasmaniaKatinka

A little while ago, Avril approached me for a photo session, and while I don’t normally photograph models I decided to take on the challenge to see what we could come up with. We had our session this morning and I am absolutely ashamed to say that I have let myself down. I broke my golden rule of ‘Don’t take too many photos!’ haha I am totally thrilled with the photos and have worked hard to narrow them down to about 200 photos to show Avril! OOPS! Oh my gosh we had an absolute blast and we achieved so many different looks.
