Paprika’s killer shots

Paprika’s Killer Shots was a boudoir photography brand I created to celebrate the beauty, confidence, and individuality of the human body. My goal was to create an experience that felt both empowering and playful, where clients could see themselves in a new light.

Many of the sessions included themed concepts, using props and creative direction to bring out different sides of each person. Whether stepping into a character or simply embracing the moment, clients were encouraged to stay true to themselves—making the process not just a photoshoot, but a celebration of self-expression.

Overview

Paprika’s Killer Shots was a boudoir photography side project while working as a photograper for Mandarina Concept. I would organise photoshoots for people that wanted to see a sensual side of themselves portrayed in a tasteful way.

Branding

The logo had to convey that playful and spicy style. I decided to combine a Katrina skull (from the Mexican celebration Day of the Dead) biting a chilli pepper. The first logo was designed in red, as it symbolises passion and life.

The typograpy for the name was Arual, simple and modern, and the tagline was more complex and elegant.

The skull logo was used as a watermark, it would be at the background of images, flyers, for the business cards and on the website.
