What is boudoir photography?
It is sensual and tasteful photography that portrays a woman in the best light possible - fun and sexy pictures.
What it is not are R-rated or X-rated photos taken by some creep claiming to be an artist. Nudity and porn are certainly not boudoir photography.
Though the origins of boudoir photography date back to the early 20th century and trace their roots to the pin-up girls of WWII France, it was only in the last couple of years that this photography genre has entered the mainstream.
Women took to it as a way to celebrate themselves and capture their essence at a particular time of their life.
Now some photographers provide group packages which makes the service more affordable for women and creates a fun and supportive atmosphere where you cheer each other up.
What makes for a good boudoir photo?
♥ Sensual yet comfortable posing is essential - looks don’t matter as much as how you are feeling. You must feel beautiful, confident and sexy. Above all, the boudoir photo shoot should boost your self-esteem, not break it.
♥ The lighting should be used in the most flattering way.
♥ Discreet retouching - no cellulite, blemishes, rashes or any other skin imperfections, no wrinkles, no double chins. Your photo should be poetry celebrating you, not prose.
These rules will make your boudoir portrait a perfect Valentine's gift for your significant other.
