Today’s boudoir photography has transcended the unnatural poses of the past. The nouveaux boudoir is all about glamour and female empowerment. It is no wonder so many women are seeking to have one of these sessions. For some of you, the idea of taking off your clothes and being photographed by a complete stranger might sound intimidating, so here is the rundown as far as what to look for or expect from a boudoir photographer.
What is Boudoir Photography? Modern boudoir photographers focus on creating a feminine intimate portrait that reflects your sensual personality. The actual word “boudoir” implies something soft and sensual rather than erotic. Boudoir photography should resemble sexy perfumes ads or sensual Victoria Secret commercials and your images will look like they belong in a magazine.
Who’s doing it? Everyone! It doesn’t matter the age, figure, or if you are a little less than perfect.
Photographers know how to light, position and direct you to look your best and overcome any body image issues; they have also mastered the art of Photoshop retouching and can produce incredible results. These photo sessions are all about fantasy and it is an amazing confidence boost! Ladies are giving the sessions to themselves (and sometimes their significant others) before they get married as a wedding gift. Newly married ladies are doing it before they become mothers or as a 1st anniversary gift (1st year is paper), or as an “I still got it honey!” anniversary gift after being married for many years. Military wives also give it to their husbands serving overseas. article by Jennifer Skog
