Boudoir Photography

What is intimate photography? Intimate or Boudoir Photography is typically sexy photography that is particularly popular to give your partner, the soon-to-be-married couple, for any romantic occasion. Boudoir Colorado Springs photographs are generally taken in a romantic setting, often worn with heavy fabric, wrapped sheets or lingerie, or even casually clothed. The term ‘boudoir photographer’ may seem outdated now, but boudoir photographer has a precise definition and is used to describe one who specializes in capturing and suggesting bedroom activities.

Many people today enjoy boudoir sessions in the privacy of their own homes. This is a great alternative to a studio wedding photographer and offers a more personal photography experience. Studio photos are impersonal and are generally shot for commercial purposes. When planning an intimate photography session at home, it is important to consider who will be in attendance. If possible, try to book the same people who would be participating in the actual event – your parents, siblings, friends, co-workers.

Some girls enjoy dressing up and often participate in boudoir photography in a dressing room, which is a separate area of the house from the actual bedroom. The idea is to create a ‘surround effect’ so that others can see what is happening. However, not all intimate photography clients request this.

Today, boudoir photography is also considered as portraiture. Portraiture involves taking pictures and placing them into a collage which usually hangs on the wall of a person’s bedroom. Although boudoir photographers are asked to do more traditional portraiture, today’s photographers are also trained to do more contemporary and sensual images. In fact, more women are looking to boudoir photographers for photography and modeling services.

When you decide to go on a boudoir photo shoot studio visit, it is always helpful to take along a friend, whether they are family or friends of your mother or sister, because it helps to keep things light and fun. It is also a good idea to bring along a favorite perfume or Cologne if you are going to a boudoir photography studio. This helps the photographer to smell your skin and get you relaxed before the shoot. Many models find that the best time to go to a condominium photo shoot studio is during a breezy, summer day when everyone is relaxed and ready to go.

Another great tip that I can give to women who want to do some bareback, intimate photography is to remember that the photographer won’t always be the only one seeing your legs. Sometimes, models are asked to do boudoir photography with their husband, boyfriend or other loved one. If this is the case, then you should definitely show up in a comfortable outfit, such as lingerie or a bathing suit. Keep in mind that the model will have a professional model clothes on, so it’s best to look your best, even if it’s just because your mom or sister wants you to.

The lighting and the natural light should be perfect. Never assume that the studio has natural light, because sometimes they only have a small window in the back of the building where the natural light is coming in. Also, try to keep your hair as natural as possible and avoid wearing jewelry that may reflect light. Some models may also recommend that you wear a bathing suit with the model so that he/she can be easier to see, but make sure to check with the studio manager first.

When you do boudoir photography, always ask the photographer if there are poses that you aren’t comfortable with. Some poses might be difficult for you to do, and it’s always better if the photographer gives you the option of not doing a certain pose. If you want to try poses that you haven’t tried before, then ask the photographer if they have any suggestions as to how to do those poses. Also, when shooting the model, tell her if you want to do a couple poses and then ask her if she wants to do a couple poses together with her husband or boyfriend.
