Yolandi Jacobsz, the owner of Loci Photography and the creator of The Nicolassi Brand, explains that after more than ten years of shooting boudoir with women from all walks of life, she has learned special and interesting things, here is an informative blog on what she has found – “The old saying of always being kind because you never know what anyone else is currently perhaps going through, is very correct. We just don’t practice it, because everyone has to wake up, and sort of go through life with a bit of armor, otherwise the hard world won’t make us survive that day. That hard armor doesn’t always make us kind day to day, so yes – we do meet people and we do something get abrasive without even realizing it, because the only thing we were doing in that moment, was surviving the day as well, as tough as we could. We didn’t always switch into kindness mode when someone needed it for a second, so it doesn’t always happen, so many people get the worst of us even if we don’t intend it.

But knowing that it is now clear to me, that it certainly isn’t about how you look, but how you feel secured on the inside, makes it a little bit easier to accept. And we’re a lot of women, the world is full of them, it’s a big ship to turn around. And maybe it’ll never happen so I’m conveying only what I’ve observed.
Also, thin ladies visiting the studio and also have some boy issues, and that often beautiful chunky and curvier women, sometimes feel great about themselves. So it’s never about how we look, it’s about how we feel. After photographing all sorts of women here is what I’ve found – that it’s about an internal feeling, and not an external degree of beauty at all.”
