Francesco Coluccelli

linkinstagram.com/franzfi_photo

Born in Florence in 1975, Francesco Coluccelli discovered his passion for photography early in life, inspired by his love of travel and the ever-changing landscapes around him. His early work in landscape and street photography nurtured a deep appreciation for light, contrast, and human presence within a scene.

Over time, Francesco's fascination with black and white imagery evolved into a refined personal language that merges classic composition with modern sensuality. In 2021, a pivotal encounter with Roberto Mannini led him to explore the human form as his primary subject, mastering the art of natural light and developing his own distinctive style.

Today, Francesco's work is recognized for its sculptural interplay of light and shadow, celebrating the curves, strength, and vulnerability of the human body.

Simona Pistolozzi

My name is Simona Pistolozzi and I was born in Florence in 1968, I entered in the photography world in 2017 and what seemed a simple interest has become a real passion.

My expressive research began immediately with glamorous and nude art photography and grew with personal study, the teachings of professional photographers and with the particular elective affinity created with female figures who have become inspiring muses of projects with a strong emotional expression.

Photography is the means to express myself, the desire to perceive, capture through the gaze and the camera, the personality, the sensitivity, the most intimate and seductive part of femininity.

Adam Csomor

linkinstagram.com/Adam_csomor

I'm Adam, the founder and photographer behind London Boudoir.

I didn't plan to become a boudoir photographer. I started out shooting fashion and fitness, chasing clean lighting and perfect angles. That changed when a friend asked me to shoot a boudoir session for her. Watching her see herself in a completely new way – strong, sexy, confident – I knew this was the work I was meant to do.

Since then, I've made it my focus to create a space where anyone can feel powerful in their own skin. No pressure, no judgement, just real moments and honest connection. London Boudoir is about more than beautiful photos — it's about showing up for yourself.
