19TH CENTURY STYLE ART-FIGURE PORTRAITURE In French the term "Contre Jour" is used to mean "back lit," but the literal and lovely translation is "Against the Day." We believe a timeless, artistic and tasteful portrait, capturing the living beauty of the moment, helps to celebrate the sweetness and playful eroticism natural to every time of life. More galleries can be found at the top left of the page. We look forward to meeting with you and hearing your ideas. Contre Jour photography finds the beauty and the inner light in every Body. We utilize light and shadow, the blur of camera movement, and other classic techniques to achieve joyful and sensual imagery. To us everyone is photogenic.
