Boudoir Photography has been an artform since literally the invention of cameras. Still, there’s a lot of confusion surrounding the topic, so I wanted to start this blog by telling you exactly what boudoir photography is. In short: it’s a series of classy, artistic, sensual images - usually of a woman, but sometimes of a couple or even a man.
In more recent years Boudoir Photography, is also being referred to as Intimate Lifestyle Photography and has for a lot of photographers (myself included) evolved into a style of photography that promotes self-love by placing a heavy emphasis on body positivity. Yes...the world needs more of that!
I personally define boudoir as being sensual, romantic and sometimes erotic in nature. For me, Boudoir showcases the intimate side of real women, looking in an almost voyeuristic way on someone's private time and seeing them in an alluring moment that perhaps you were never meant to see.
Different forms of boudoir photography exist both in terms of style/approach and level of undress. As is the case with any photography, it’s important to seek a photographer whose style and vision matches your own. For example, some specialize in high contrast black and whites, others prefer a dark & moody editing style, and some take a bright, color-rich approach.
Boudoir photographers typically leave it up to the client to decide how much skin is exposed during the session. Some clients are okay baring it all. Some clients prefer to do a lingerie session, while others prefer to go a flirty, less exposed route by wearing an oversized sweater, a sport's jersey or their partner's shirt, all of which are valid options...it all just depends on your level of comfortability.
Boudoir photography runs the gamut & creating a customized experience with your photographer is part of the fun!
