2021 LOOKSLIKEFILM BARE Awards: Meet The Winners
LOOKSLIKEFILM BARE Awards 2021
With all the impressive talent in our LooksLikeFilm Bare group, so many different styles of boudoir represented, all different viewpoints and backgrounds, we wanted to start a yearly competition to celebrate our industry’s/community’s growth.
Normalizing Boudoir in the world and photography community is no easy feat but getting more eyes and awareness on the genre is key – competitions do just that, they get people excited to be involved.
Not just within the photography community but being able to share with our clients, fans, and followers that we are involved in a competition among the best of the best in the industry or even sharing the news that we as photographers placed in a competition of this scale is such an exciting thing.
Other big competitions often exclude boudoir or censor so heavily that boudoir photographers have not felt well represented in the past. We are going to do our best to be a part of the solution, make sure to represent the ever-evolving boudoir industry the best that we can and the rest was up to the Boudoir Community to show up. And that you did!
Judging this was not an easy feat, the judges had their work cut out for them. So much talent, so many impactful and memorable images. Congratulations to everyone who participated! If you are one of the lucky ones that made it into our final Top 20. Make sure to check your mail in the next days as we will reach out to you <3

The Judges
Ore Adesina
Ore Adesina is an award-winning intimate lifestyle and boudoir photographer based out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She is known for her distinctive style of photographing couples boudoir portraits. She also specializes in intimate lifestyle portraits for men and fine art photography. She strives to photograph individuals of all shapes and sizes, with the goal of capturing the “perfectly imperfect” and helping clients recognize and see the best versions of themselves.
Alex Charilaou
Alex is a photographer from London UK. He’s been creating photos for around 8 years now and is most known for intimate and lifestyle images. In his work he tries to expand the boundaries of what boudoir can be, introducing elements of mystery, narrative and cinematic styling. He balances the direction of my subject between documentation of who they are individually with creating a story between their presence in the shot and the scene around them. He pays particular attention to the background/location, the creation of the scene involved in the shot, and building an atmosphere using texture, layering, and playing music during shooting – essentially similar to how a movie director/cinematographer would work, but producing still images instead of moving ones. As an artist, he tries to explore themes such as the balance of power/empowerment, voyeurism, mental and physical strength, drama, and intrigue.
D’Artagnan Winford
D’Artagnan is an international award-winning fine art portrait photographer and art director based out of Jackson, MS. Born and raised in the Mississippi Delta, he is known for his intimate and soulful style. D’Artagnan captures the beauty, strength, grace, and dignity in his subjects who are usually everyday people.
Laura Beck
Laura is an international award-winning boudoir photographer in Gainesville Florida. She started her career as a professional wedding photographer in 2003. After suffering a big loss of a loved one and the grief experienced with such a loss, she shot her first boudoir shoot in 2011 and that was when she fell in love with the genre. Over the years she stopped shooting everything except intimate portraiture and honed in what she loves the most- empowering people through art. With every boudoir session she had, she felt herself healing and noticed that she was helping to heal her clients too. Within her boudoir work, she focuses on emotive expressions that convey sincere feelings. She works with connecting with her client to break down walls through coaching, allowing them to show her who they really are, while also showing her clients how truly powerful they are, and how beautiful they are through someone else’s eyes.
