David Calhoun

Experienced Artist/Photographer with a passion for creating beautiful images of people and objects. By combining my artistic eye with high quality digital photography techniques, and a clear understanding of lighting I am offering my services as a photographer 

Specializing in Boudoir, Glamour, Pin-Up & Fine Art.

 

My special talent is to evoke and capture a woman's true mystique.

I express a different point of view from what is commonly perceived as glamour photography. I create imagined moments celebrating feminine beauty and the amazing power and variety of the female form; my work is at once inviting. and daring. 

Mystique is French for glamour, the sense of mystery and wonder we have for true beauty. We glimpse the image, provocative, holding a secret within a knowing smile that plays across her lovely lips. She is mystique - the embodiment of femininity in the female form.
