Capture your beautiful body-FOREVER!

MORE than ever before, women are being encouraged to embrace their looks and make the most of themselves. Through makeover shows and magazine features, the message is loud and clear-it doesn’t matter what size or shape you are-you are still beautiful!

One company that is supporting this trend wholeheartedly is For Your Eyes Only Portraits. This exciting photographic studio specialises in sexy modern portraits for women.

Established in 2003, the studio boasts an international client base and promises flattering photographic portraits, regardless of age or body shape.

Alexandra Burns, founder of the studios explains: “The studios give women an opportunity to have professional portraits taken using the latest digital technology and stunning makeover techniques. Being entirely female run, FYEO has the ability to perfectly identify with customers needs and deliver beautiful, sexy portraits time and again. At FYEO we empower women, capturing them as sexy and confident, showing them as feminine, beautiful and in control.

“The FYEO house style enables the customer to bare as much she feels comfortable, because we are confident in our ability to flatter.”

Previously, the idea of having a professional portrait taken where you reveal your more personal side might have horrified people, but thanks to the classy profile of FYEO Portraits, more and more women are booking in.

Alexandra has pioneered this style of portrait to the consumer, recognising that body attitudes are changing, for the better.

She added: “It’s not just women who work hard on their looks who want to record how fabulous they feel. We can counter the feelings of a negative body image by having professional portraits taken rather than relying on poor snap shots, which chip away at our confidence.

“A low body image can affect every aspect of our lives. Programmes such as ‘10 Years Younger’ and ‘How to Look Good Naked’ along with Dove’s campaign for real beauty are teaching women to love their bodies, whatever their shape. FYEO Portraits is contributing towards that movement and we are proud of it.

“The FYEO ethos is to give women a huge confidence boost by showing them that they too can look fabulous with professional photography”.

FYEO Portraits create modern photo portraits for women in a cutting-edge style that previously has only been available in commercial fashion studios. Never again will your man droll over the hotties in GQ. Instead, he’ll have sexy photos of you, his definitive fantasy!

Thanks to the unique and innovative work of Alexandra For Your Eyes Only Portraits is the market leader in its field, and the ONLY photographic studio that can use an exclusive house style to create stunning pictures.

Alexandra was the 1st photographer to develop her unique style, and her exclusive character studio in Buckinghamshire is the ONLY place where clients can truly experience the FYEO style makeover and photographic session.

Inspired by celebrity images published in magazines, Alexandra set the studio up to offer women the opportunity to look as glamorous as the women pictured in the glossies.

She said: “The kind of photography we offer is a growing trend in portraiture. Women are now more liberated than ever, and feel confident enough to try things that they might have once thought of as a bit risqué.

Alexandra heads a team of six staff, all of whom are trained in the FYEO Portraits house style, a clever formula which is designed for the women we are, real women wanting beautiful, flattering portraits.

FYEO Portraits is at the beginning of its journey and Alexandra plans to open her next studio in the UK within 18 months, followed by plans to open studios internationally.

Clients include novelists, television personalities and women who are prepared to travel half way across the world to take part in the FYEO Portraits experience.

FYEO Portraits will be at The Body Beautiful show at Olympia, London on September 23 and 24.
