Is Sensual the same as Sexy?

Short answer - no.

Long answer - here we go…

Sensual is about engaging the senses - touch, sight, smell, taste, and sound. As engaged they evoke pleasure, intimacy, or deep emotional connection. It’s more about feeling and atmosphere, often subtle, soft, and intimate. Sensuality doesn’t have to be explicitly sexual; it can be present in the way someone moves, the textures of fabrics, or the lighting in a photograph.

Sexy is more direct and overtly appealing to desire and attraction. It’s about being physically alluring and evoking a reaction based on attraction or seduction. Something sexy often has a more explicit intent to arouse or entice.

In photography, a sensual image might focus on soft lighting, gentle curves, and an intimate mood, while a sexy image might include bolder expressions, provocative poses, or revealing clothing. Sensuality can be more about suggestion and feeling, whereas sexiness tends to be more about direct attraction.

More clear now?

This is what I stand for and this is what I offer to my clients - a visual experience where they feel seen, acknowledged and heard, not just photographed with or without they intimate clothing.

Photography is 2 demential form to visualise reality, moments, people. It has power hold by the photographer and inevitably being their responsibility to what and how is captured and shown.

Sex sells, yes, for a lot. But how much would you pay to be fully seen and valued?

Sensual

Sensuality is the art of being present in your body, of experiencing the world through your senses with depth and intention. It is the warmth of sunlight on your skin, the lingering taste of ripe fruit on your lips, the way silk glides over your fingertips. Sensuality is not just about touch; it is the way music sends shivers down your spine, how a scent can transport you to a memory, how a gaze can speak volumes without a single word.

To be sensual is to be attuned to yourself, to honor pleasure in its many forms—not just the obvious, but the subtle: the rhythm of your breath, the feeling of stretching your body in the morning light. It is about savoring life rather than rushing through it, about embracing the richness of each moment. Sensuality is self-connection, a form of self-love, an invitation to exist fully in your own skin.

La sensualidad es el arte de estar presente en tu cuerpo, de experimentar el mundo a través de tus sentidos con profundidad e intención. Es el calor del sol sobre tu piel, el sabor persistente de la fruta madura en tus labios, la manera en que la seda se desliza sobre tus dedos. La sensualidad no se trata solo del tacto; es el modo en que la música te estremece, cómo un aroma puede transportarte a un recuerdo, cómo una mirada puede decirlo todo sin pronunciar una sola palabra.

Ser sensual es estar en sintonía contigo mismo, honrar el placer en todas sus formas, no solo en lo obvio, sino también en lo sutil: el ritmo de tu respiración, la sensación de estirar tu cuerpo bajo la luz de la mañana. Se trata de saborear la vida en lugar de apresurarse a través de ella, de abrazar la riqueza de cada instante. La sensualidad es conexión con uno mismo, una forma de amor propio, una invitación a existir plenamente en tu propia piel.

How often is good to change your professional headshot?

Your professional headshot is often the first impression clients, collaborators, or potential employers have of you. Keeping it up to date ensures it accurately represents who you are and the image you want to project.

We live in a world where more people and potential clients see you first, daily or mostly online. Therefore the visuals that represent you, your brand and work work are crucial for connecting with your ideal clients and the success of your business.

There is not an exact timeline when you should update your headshot. Some people go years without doing it, but how often have you men a person that does not really look the same or younger as the photograph they use to represent them?

A good rule of thumb is to update your headshot every year or two. This timeframe allows for subtle changes in appearance, style, or professional branding to be reflected. However, there are a few instances when you should consider updating it sooner.

If you’ve made a significant change in your appearance, such as a new hairstyle, wearing glasses, or growing a beard, it’s a good idea to refresh your photo. Similarly, if your headshot no longer aligns with your industry or brand, for example, moving from a corporate to a creative role, it’s worth investing in a new one.

If you’re a person who is active on social media and use online marketing as one of your main promotional channels, who value their appearance and want to stay up to day and accurate with your followers and potential clients, a frequent headshot update is also required.

Your headshot is a visual extension of your professional identity. By keeping it current, you present yourself as someone who values authenticity and attention to detail. A high-quality, up-to-date headshot can make a lasting impression, so don’t hesitate to refresh it when needed.

Your Body, Your Canvas

Who is there for you when no-one is there? Who is taking care of you, holding you tight, moving you forward, nurturing you and giving it’s best to guide and support you?

Your Body.

The Bestest of friends you will ever have. No judgement, no manipulation, just simply a reflection, love and service. Giving you back all that you give it, the choice is yours.

Took me years of physical and emotional pain to realise there’s no-one there but my body. My body, my house, my secret temple, my life diary.

Photographing my body has helped me reach this connection. A connection for belonging and acceptance that I was long longing for. Looking out in all the wrong places to finally look in the mirror and see that all I needed was right here during this whole time, waiting for me to realise it.

Out body is like a clean blank canvas. When we’re born is tight and fresh. With the ears and experiences you mark it with all different colours, chemicals and textures. The picture of our own life gets developed layer by layer, paint brush by paint brush. What we use and what we do with our canvas matters to how long and in what state will live. Why not take care of it to look its best until the end?

Beach Portrait - End of Summer

Another summer just went by. It felt short, like it slipped by faster than ever…

The beach is my most favourite places and locations to be. The simplicity it has combined with the peacefulness of the always moving waves give me a sense a home that noting else does. I wanted to use the last heat to create some analogue inspired, b&w portraits.

The result is pleasing both for the beautiful Elena and for me.
