Boudoir photography is becoming more popular – but what exactly is it?
Have you ever looked at boudoir photography and decided it wasn’t for you?
Perhaps the idea conjures up images of embarrassing poses in a soulless studio or having to strip to your underwear in front of strangers.
It’s a common perception – but we’d like to dispel a few of the myths and share our own experiences and, who knows? After reading, you may decide you’d like to find out more – drop us a line and we’d love to have a chat.
So, to begin with, what exactly is boudoir photography? Boudoir translates as a woman’s bedroom, or private sitting room, and is a style of photography that is designed to celebrate the female form in all its different shapes and sizes.
Lingerie is a popular choice for boudoir shoots but you can wear what you feel comfortable in
Exactly how that happens is a matter for the client and the photographer, but a few styles to consider include flirty, sexy, playful or glamorous. It’s about you – and if you feel at your best in a stunning set of lingerie then go for it, but if you’d rather wear one of your other half’s old shirts, or your favourite nightie, we can work with that too.
Think it’s not for someone like you? Think again. Boudoir photography is for everyone – whatever your age, size or shape. It is an amazing confidence booster, perhaps a present to yourself to mark a special achievement or event, or for a loved one as an anniversary or even wedding gift. It is for women who want something to look back on when they are older, for women who are older and want to prove they are still beautiful, or for women who would like to spice up their relationship.
A classic boudoir pose is subtle yet sexy – and designed to flatter
The photos can be just for you, or for you to share with a partner, or to proudly display for everyone to see. Think stunning yet subtle, artistic rather than in-your-face.
