What is boudoir photography?

It is about creating images of women that explores their beauty and sensuality. They may be flirty and sensual or more artistic.

A boudoir style shoot should empower the subject, making them feel as beautiful as possible.

Boudoir photography should not be confused with glamour. The purpose of each genre is really quite different. Glamour photography is fundamentally about sexuality. Boudoir photography at heart is about sensuality - something completely different.

It is this difference that has made boudoir style photography such a booming business segment.

Women want to feel powerful, beautiful and sensual. Women want to express themselves in their own way - not as a objects of male objectification.

This does not mean you have to be a woman to photograph boudoir clients and models. Far from it - I believe the chemistry of male to female (managed properly) can be a powerful tool to create amazingly powerful images for both men and woman.

Practical Shooting Advice

All the shoots detailed in the video took place over four days in my studio.

I will show you how to use different areas of a studio to achieve different looks.

You will be able to take these studio setups and use them in your own home or on location.

You will learn my simple light recipes. You will be able to duplicate these lighting setups with ease.

Single light setups are the most commonly used in this video. So if you only have 1 light you will still be able to re-create these shots.

Two light setups are also shown - you will see how easy it is to add "quality" to an image just by adding a second light.

The lighting is simply explained and every shot includes a full lighting diagram so you can see exactly how it works.

Practical Model Advice

I have been shooting boudoir images for private clients for many years.

I have worked with all shapes and sizes, all ages and looks.

I want to give you all the knowledge and experience I have developed. I want to show you how to put clients at their ease. I want you to learn how to bring your sitter out of their shell. You will see how to create stunning and powerful boudoir images.

You will learn when it needs to be "tits and bum" and when covering everything is even better.

You will learn how to work with your sitter to their comfort levels.

If you are shooting for business or pleasure I will show images that your sitter will absolutely adore - including our number one best selling image setup.

Studio or Location Shoots

This program features studio work - you will find this instantly and directly applicable to your own studio photography.

But also everything you see can easily be translated to your home, hotel or other location. The lighting setups are simple and easily re-created on location. They can be simply replicated with speedlights or studio strobes.

We also show you how to make a studio look like a location.
