Meet Aurora

by Tara Arseven

Boudoir with Aurora Lust isn’t about performance. It’s about remembrance.

A quiet rebellion against shame.
A spark in the dark.
A love letter to the body you live in.

At Aurora Lust, I create space for you to take up every inch of your power- soft or fierce, playful or still. This is not about pleasing anyone else. This is about celebrating you - your shape, your energy, your story.

This work is sacred to me. I don’t just click the shutter and call it done. I guide, I listen, I witness. I help you see what your lovers, your mirrors, and your higher self already know- that you are art. Living, breathing, radiant art.

18 years behind the camera / 1082 sessions / 541K images DELIVERED / Countless moments that made someone fall in love with themselves.

I started with horror portraits and metal shows. My early work lived in the shadows- blood, smoke, dramatic lighting, everything raw and intense. I spent my nights photographing concerts and working with bands who wanted their images to hit just as hard as their music. It wasn’t about being pretty. It was about being real.

That same energy still lives in my work. It’s just transformed. Now I photograph people in the most vulnerable, intimate way I know how.

I don’t limit erotic photography to one type of body or identity. I work with women, men, trans folks, non-binary people, queer people, straight people, and everyone in between. I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, powerful, and desired, not just accepted, but celebrated.

You don’t have to look a certain way or know how to pose. You don’t need to come in with confidence. You can show up exactly as you are. I’ll guide you through the rest.

I live in Dallas with two chaos-loving cats and two clever little rats. I spend my off days painting, gaming, watching horror movies, and getting lost in whatever weird and beautiful thing grabs my attention.

This work is personal. It’s not about filters or trends. It’s about giving people space to be seen without shame. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to work with you.

This isn’t just photography.

This is healing.

This is art.

This is you, unfiltered.

MY WHYAurora Lust was born from a need I felt deep in my bones to create something free from
judgment and rich in truth. A space where bodies aren’t corrected, but cherished. Where the photo
isn’t the goal, the feeling is.

I’ve spent over 18 years behind the lens, but boudoir called to me differently. This isn’t work I do
for you, it’s something we create with each other. And every session reminds me how powerful
that can be.
