About Mesh, Austin Boudoir Photographer

Hello, I'm Mesh.

Yes, your photographer is a man. I know that can give you pause, so I will be direct about how I work. A female assistant is on set for every session unless you ask otherwise, and nothing happens without your comfort first.

Where it started

I learned photography on film in a high school darkroom, developing my own negatives and making my own prints.

Film taught me patience and light. Before photography, I spent 17 years in hotel operations, from the front desk to Regional Vice President over Austin's select-service Marriott hotels. Photography became my full time work in 2016.

Hospitality taught me the rest. Luxury is how you are made to feel, and that is how I run every session.

How I work

Comfort first

A female assistant on set unless you ask otherwise. Every frame on screen as we shoot, so nothing is a surprise.

II

Fully directed

I guide every pose, angle and expression. You never have to know what to do with your hands.

III

Private by default

Your images live in a private, password protected gallery. Most of my clients keep their images private.
