"My shoot with Brown Lotus Photography was a great experience. I have shot with quite a few photographers, so I know what I look for in a professional photographer, especially when doing a more “vulnerable” type shoot. He made me feel very comfortable and welcome. He communicates what he is doing (with lights, furniture, props, etc). We had great conversation and laughs, and the photos turned out phenomenal. I’m looking forward to shooting again, and I recommend his work to anyone looking to get boudoir and bodyscape photography done"

About Me

Tavarus Brown

Photographer

I am the artist behind the camera and absolutely enjoy being a vessel that inspires and motivates women to embrace their bodies right now, in the moment, exactly as they are. Photography truly has the power to change the way you feel about and view yourself and the world around you.

When I am not in the studio shooting, I enjoy traveling the world, spending time with friends and family, karting, watching movies, eating, hookah, sharing reels, and making people laugh. Having served 26 years in the military, I truly understand that life is short and it is best to experience as much as you can with the time that you have.

Let's Do It!
