All that being said, once I met Luigi in person and saw his set, I began to feel more and more comfortable. He assured me that most of his clients have no previous modeling experience, which I would never have guessed from the ravishing ladies on his website. He also generously offered me some “liquid encouragement,” and I opted for a glass of white wine. We started by going over what I brought and then he mentioned his ideas. Luigi told me more about his setup at the studio—how he modeled his new luxe-boudoir set after a luxury hotel suite and how the fluidity of his setup lets him take pictures at any angle. He spoke about the artwork and furniture he has in his set, all of which are locally sourced. The artwork is actually leased from BeDotGallery, that supports five local artists from around Frederick, and you can add the works to your bill if one strikes your fancy. He relishes being able to support local art with his business. 28
