Simona Pistolozzi
Nude Art, Glamour & Erotic PhotographerAdam Csomor
Adam, the founder and photographer behind London Boudoir, never set out to become a boudoir photographer. His early work was rooted in fashion and fitness — precise lighting, perfect angles, and polished form. Yet, despite the technical beauty, something essential always felt absent. That changed when a friend asked him to photograph her boudoir session. As she viewed the images, seeing herself as strong, sexy, and confident, Adam realized he had found the work he was truly meant to do.
Since then, his mission has been clear: to create a space where anyone can feel powerful in their own skin. His sessions are built on trust, comfort, and authenticity — no pressure, no judgement, just honest moments of self-expression. Over time, his work has earned recognition and awards, but for Adam, nothing compares to the heartfelt messages from clients who say, “I’ve never felt this good about myself.”
London Boudoir stands for more than just beautiful photographs. It’s about transformation — seeing yourself with new eyes, reclaiming confidence, and leaving the session feeling a little stronger than when you walked in.

Her sessions have taken her across the U.S. and internationally, and she continues to set the bar for what modern boudoir can be—beautiful, bold, and powerfully personal.
Francesco Colucelli
Born in Florence in 1975, Francesco Colucelli 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, a renowned Florentine photographer specializing in glamour and nude art, led him to explore the human form as his primary subject. Under Mannini’s mentorship, he mastered the art of natural light and began 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. Each image is a dialogue between intimacy and aesthetics, a reflection of his belief that photography is not just about seeing, but about feeling.
His lens captures the beauty of authenticity, the rhythm of life, and the quiet confidence of those who dare to be seen.
