I speak to lots of women who shy away from the camera and absolutley hate having their photograph taken. I spent lots of years feeling the same and look back with sadness that I was seldom seen on my children's photographs when they were younger. Hard to believe,considering that being in front of the camera is now a job I love!

This weeks guest Tigz Rice is an empowering fashion and boudoir photographer, whose work I've admired from a far so I'm delighted to share her with you this week.

Tigz is passionate about helping fearless humans re-connect with their bodies & feel empowered, confident & unapologetically present in both their personal and professional adventures. Combining luxury editorial photography with her own signature style of retouching, 

Tigz has been helping her clients level up their digital visibility since 2009, providing a portfolio of beautiful images that perfectly portray their unique personality, style and values. Working with clients from all backgrounds, Tigz's photography has supported her clients to reconnect and/or reclaim their bodies after life-changing events including cancer treatment, surgical procedures, trauma and abuse. She also actively works with her clients to promote self-worth and a positive body image.

Tigz has gainied a reputation as one of the world’s most sought after empowerment photographers. In 2019 she published her award-winning book STRIP/TEASE, documenting a decade of work within the burlesque community. In 2021, she was named as one of Digital Women's Top 40 Digital Women To Watch, making the shortlist for Digital Woman of the Year and in 2023, she was named as one of the UK’s most inspirational and dynamic female entrepreneurs by the f:Entrepreneur ‘#ialso100’ campaign, in partnership with Small Business Britain.

When she’s not behind the camera, Tigz enjoys spending time outdoors, travelling the world and learning as many languages as possible (currently Japanese).
