In a society that often stigmatizes alternative sexual interests and professions, Daisy found solace and empowerment in the safe space provided by her photographer at Earthly Venus. Here’s how her experience is a testament to the radial power of self-love and the transformative nature of sexy photo shoots.

In case you don’t know these terms:

• Boudoir: Boudoir photography is an intimate form of photography that captures sensual and romantic images, often featuring individuals in lingerie or partially clothed, with the aim of highlighting their beauty, confidence, and sensuality. It's often done as a personal gift for a partner or as a way to celebrate oneself.

• Patriarchy: male centered dominance and power in our culture

Why Daisy Booked Her Sexy Photo Shoot

This photoshoot was about embracing her confidence! Embracing her body and celebrating her uniqueness has been a cornerstone of her journey towards self-confidence.

And for Daisy, it wasn’t just personal, it was political. These photos were not just an act of self-love, but a radical defiance against the patriarchy.

"I feel like all women deal with bullshit about their bodies and one day it just clicked for me that the biggest resistance of the patriarchy is actually just being OK and liking yourself and what you look like. [...]  Every time I’m like ‘there’s some weird body thing’ I literally think ‘This is the fucking patriarchy. This is capitalism. This is everything in the world that is telling me that I’m not enough OK,’ and actually I fucking am."

Overcoming Fear

Before embarking on her sexy photo shoot, Daisy, like most of our clients, grappled with fears of not looking good on camera, feeling unsure about how to pose, and worrying about relinquishing control over how she'd be portrayed on camera.

“I have no idea how to put my body or anything, or what poses look good or right. And I’m also really self-conscious about [making weird] faces and shit. That’s why I like to be so in control with the selfie cam [content I usually produce].”

But of course, our number one priority at Earthly Venus is empowering our client's through their photoshoots, and helping them to feel confident, beautiful, and authentically sexy!

“You do everything to make people comfortable. [The images] show me in the way that I see myself, which is a sensual fun person who likes to roll around on the ground."

Discovering Herself Through Her Photos

Through her Sexy photo shoot, she found the courage to push boundaries and try new experiences, including wearing a strap for the first time—a milestone in her journey of self-discovery.

“That was literally the first time I ever put on a harness or ever put on handcuffs, anything like that. [...] I’m open to anything and everything. I’ve just never had a partner or partners that have been like ‘want to go do this?'"

As a tried and true sub, this experience changed the way she saw herself for good. She now loves being in touch with her dominant side too!

"It was cool to me also to see myself in a kind of dominant role because we played with that a little bit. And I didn’t think of myself as [dominant], I think of myself as that now way more. [...] It’s just so interesting reflecting on where you are when you capture an image versus where you are now. Because seeing myself like that, I was like ‘Woah, this is fucking crazy’ but now I feel like this makes sense. I feel it.”

Authenticity or Privacy? Daisy’s Balancing Act

Daisy's life is a delicate balance between her "real life" and her persona as a sex worker and content creator on OnlyFans.

“I’m actually so glad we got to talk about this. It’s hard. No one really knows about this shit. It’s very much a little bit of a secret, and I’m trying to not have shame."

The challenges of maintaining secrecy while marketing herself and navigating societal stigma have been significant hurdles in her journey towards self-acceptance.

“It’s just so hard because I just want everything out. But we’re not there yet, where people are cool with it. [...] I just want to do all the shit I like to do! It’s so core to my being. [...] [The photoshoot is] a safe space to explore your sexuality without judgment."

In the end, Daisy's decision to share her photos was a deliberate one, rooted in her desire to flaunt what she's got! When we chatted about this blog, given the emphasis of the topic of privacy, we wanted to re-visit the consent convo around showing her images. Here's how it went:

PHOTOGRAPHER: “If you want I’m happy to blur your face out of the photos or something”

DAISY: “NO! I want you to show the world. I just want to show them off” 

Don’t Let Fear Hold You Back From Your Sexy Photo Shoot!
