What is Boudoir Photography?

Boudoir photography treads the fine line between fashion portraits and glamour photography. The word boudoir itself derives from a French word which means a woman’s private salon. Boudoir shoots are usually for women, however, men are also welcome to explore a different side to their personality. 

These shoots are meant to exude sensuality and are intimate in nature. That’s why one usually wears racy lingerie and pose seductively to profess ownership over their sexuality.

Unlike other genres, boudoir’s subjects are often not professional models—anyone can do a boudoir shoot. In fact, if you are on a journey of self-discovery, in need of a confidence boost, or just want to express yourself unabashedly, a boudoir session can be the very thing you’ve been looking for.

Who is Boudoir Photography for?

Boudoir Shoot: How to Pose

Normally before the shoots, you will have a say in which part of your body you want to flaunt so the shoots could hone in and highlight those features. The photographers can also help direct your poses to accentuate your curves and capture your perfect posture. Here is an example of four sexy poses you can pull in your boudoir shoot. 

Pose #1 – Lie down in bed

This pose will make the shoots feel a lot more intimate, while also making sure your sultry level is off the roof.

Pose #2 – Use chair as a prop

Sit back and stare seductively at the camera #OnFire

Pose #3 – Recline

Pull your leg in and draw attention to your shapely hips

Pose #4 – Lean

Bask in the limelight because girl, you deserve it

The most important thing, though, is to be comfortable in your own skin. Body language translates well into pictures and you’ll be amazed by how confidence speaks volumes. 

We believe that self-love is the very thing that makes you sexy. So, you do you because not a single soul on earth can beat you at that.
