Matt Curtis & Elland-Vee

Meet Matt Curtis
I'm Matt Curtis, founder of Elland-Vee Exclusive Boudoir Photography and a BIPP-qualified photographer based at Chinns Court Studio in Warminster, Wiltshire.
Photography is what I've always done. I started by learning the basics from my father, then spent the early years of my career selling cameras, working in a local studio, learning retouching, digital photography and professional portrait lighting, before opening my own Warminster studio in 2017.
Over the past decade, my work has increasingly centred on confidence-building photography for women who are ready to reconnect with themselves. Women in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. Women who might feel nervous, curious, excited, or quietly ready to see themselves differently.
My role isn't to ask you to perform. It's to guide you clearly, respectfully and professionally, so you can relax into the experience and recognise yourself in the finished portraits.
Discover Your JourneyThe reassurance behind the portraits
A boudoir photoshoot asks for a very particular kind of trust. You need to know that you'll be guided, but never pushed. Encouraged, but never rushed. Seen, but never exposed.
That is why Elland-Vee has been shaped around comfort, consent, privacy and professional direction. You have the final say on every idea, pose and image. Your boundaries are respected throughout. Your images are private by default and never shared publicly without your written permission.
The experience should feel empowering because you are in control, not because you're being asked to become someone else.
A respectful male perspective
Some women wonder how it will feel to be photographed by a male boudoir photographer. That is a completely fair question.
At Elland-Vee, Matt's role is clear, professional and respectful. His direction is focused on light, posture, shape, expression and presence. The aim is never to make you act sexy. It is to help you feel composed, confident and beautifully yourself.
That professional male perspective is paired with the care, warmth and understanding of an all-female support team, so you're never left to figure the experience out on your own.
Together, this creates a rare dynamic: artistic appreciation, technical expertise and complete reassurance.
The team around you
Your Elland-Vee experience is supported by a trusted female team who help you feel comfortable, prepared and looked after.
Clair and Georgia from Cupid's Bow Beauty bring calm, polished hair and makeup artistry to help you ease into the day and feel ready for the camera.
Marina, an independent makeup artist, also supports the Elland-Vee experience with beautiful professional styling and a warm, reassuring presence.
Matt also works closely with Rosie from Sweet Kicks Burlesque, one of the most supportive champions of women you could meet. Rosie brings encouragement, body confidence, playfulness and a deep understanding of helping women feel good in their own skin.
This team matters, because a luxury boudoir experience isn't only about how you look in the photographs. It is about how you feel while they are being created.

Place

What we believe
We believe women don't need to be fixed, changed or made into someone else before they deserve beautiful portraits.
You can arrive nervous. You can arrive unsure. You can arrive with a quiet little spark of curiosity and no idea what to do with it yet.
That is enough.
The Elland-Vee experience is there to help you feel safe enough to soften, brave enough to enjoy yourself, and supported enough to see what has been there all along.
Begin privately
Your discovery call is a relaxed, private conversation with Matt about what you're curious to create, what you feel nervous about, and how you would love to feel when you see your portraits.
No pressure. No performance. Just a gentle first step.
