My main point here is that boudoir is about focusing on the woman… one woman, and capturing her female form in an artistic and sensual way. Without repeating myself too much, I’ll just give you a brief definition of “boudoir” here.īoudoir photography is a genre of photography where women, from every walks of life, get sexy photos taken of themselves in lingerie (or other types of intimate apparel) in usually a bedroom setting to celebrate, acknowledge, and express their sexuality and their bodies. In a previous article I wrote entitled, “What Is Boudoir Photography and Why Is It Critical You Know?” I go into great detail on what I believe boudoir photography is, and what it is not. A boudoir photographer is the logical choice.Ĭalling it “Couples Boudoir” made sense, because it was two people being intimately photographed… by a boudoir photographer. The one who specializes in high school seniors? Mmm… probably not. I mean, who else are you going to get to photograph you and your lover in intimate poses? Your local sports photographer? Uh… no. Boudoir photographers were really the only type of photographers women could turn to because it so closely resembled boudoir… in a way. Women who got a solo boudoir shoot wanted to go through that same experience again… yet in a slightly altered way, sharing it with a partner this time. I can understand how the label “Couples Boudoir” came about, how it evolved from boudoir photographers photographing just women, to women and their husbands, or boyfriends, or girlfriends.
I’m not knocking it, I just think the genre is still in its infancy and hasn’t quite found its footing yet… still trying to discover exactly what it is, and still seeking to define itself.Īlong with my reasoning, I’ll also offer what I feel “Couples Boudoir” should really be called and why.Īre you ready? This is going to get interesting, I promise. Many boudoir photographers offer “Couples Boudoir” in addition to their regular boudoir offerings… but it’s not really boudoir and I’ll explain why in a minute.
