Hello!
I’m Vincent Del Toral, a professional photographer in Chicago, IL. One of the things I love about being a human is our rich tradition of storytelling and the permission (no, responsibility) every one of us is given through birthright to contribute to that rich epic. I truly believe that every time I pick up a camera, I’m tasked with telling a story, no matter how small. All stories are worth telling.
Art has been a passion since childhood. Photography has been a passion since adulthood. And my camera has been a breadwinner since 2023.
Outside of photography, I love to experiment with new cuisines, have an unquenchable spirit for travel (the lion cubs of Masai Mara hold my favorite spot), and like to think of myself as an okay guitarist.
Maybe it sounds like I’m reading your own life story. Maybe we have nothing in common so far. Nonetheless, let’s chat and bring your own story to life!
Now you may be wondering…
... why I choose boudoir.
I’ve always been captivated by the energy of the women who have graced my life. Though I’ve spent over three decades on this planet surrounded by women, the feminine still remains a unique mystery. It is uncharted but sacred ground. A paradox of fragility and strength.
Every woman lives in this energy, whether she considers herself confident or hopelessly awkward. She may come from a different background and look completely different from the women on billboards. She may not even believe that she breathes this energy or that she even deserves anything out of life (what a misconception!). But even that is a story worth telling.
I love to see women light up. The smiles, the excitement, and even tears from the joy she feels and knows she deserves. It warms my heart to take these photos and help her contribute to our rich human culture with her own story. A story worth telling.
Where to from here?
That’s for you to decide. If I’m the right photographer for you, reach out and let’s weave a story. If you still have some hesitancy, I think that’s completely normal. Reach out anyway. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have.
