Boudoir photo shoot
intimate photography...
...also known as boudoir photography, makes a wonderful gift for you or the love of your life.
A boudoir photo shoot unveils the glamourous side of your personality. You will discover how empowering, liberating and fun a boudoir photo sitting can be. Take control over your own artistic representation and gain greater confidence in your appearance during the process.
James offers an individually tailored experience. Rather than being restricted to a set menu of options, you will discuss your precise requirements with James well before the shoot, ensuring that you receive images that are artistic and utterly unique.
Having photographed women and couples from diverse careers, including lawyers, carers, actresses, presenters, film producers, IT professionals and students, James is one of the most experienced boudoir photographers in the area. James has also been asked to contribute to a book on lighting the nude, to be published worldwide in 2010, so you can be confident you are working with an expert.
styling a boudoir photo session...
...starts with your choice of photographer. Different photographers will bring different styles to their intimate photography. Unlike many boudoir photographers, James specialises in black and white art nudes and vintage-style glamour images. He gains inspiration for his intimate photography from the portrait lighting that helped create the timeless icons of 1940s and 1950s Hollywood.
James takes a minimalist approach to backgrounds and props - you are the star of a boudoir photo shoot, not the background! That said, if you have a specific idea in mind, however extravagant, run it by James. Maybe you want to recreate a classic movie poster or scene, maybe it's a painting or the style of a sultry chanteuse that inspires you - a boudoir photo shoot is not just about celebrating your physique, its about expressing your personality and imagination too.
curious about intimate photography...
...but nervous as well? That's quite natural, but don't worry, because you will discuss, directly with the photographer, your personal goals and boundaries for your boudoir photo session well before any photography takes place. You will also be shown examples of the type of image that can be created. Unlike many boudoir photo studios, James does not have a prescribed menu of services. He prefers to offer a 100% bespoke intimate photography experience during which you control the nature of the shoot, including the degree of nudity involved.
a boudoir photo...
...is usually quite sexy or sensual, but does not need to involve full nudity. Even if no clothing or lingerie are involved in your shoot, a boudoir photo can employ the technique known as 'implied nude', where the secrets you wish to remain secret are concealed by your pose, or shadows, or a prop etc. Once again, with James' intimate photography sittings, the choice is entirely up to you!
Your initial chat with James will also cover the location of your boudoir photo shoot, as well as makeup and hair requirements. James will then devise a shoot plan and estimate the time required for the sitting and quote you a price.
Sittings can take place at the location of your choosing (such as your own home), in James’ home studio, or in
a third-party studio. To fascilitate a relaxed shoot, you are encouraged to have a chaperone accompany you.
after your boudoir photo shoot...
...James performs all image processing and CD recording personally, ensuring confidentiality. You can keep the images in a private digital portfolio, or request (framed and unframed) prints. If you favour poses that maintain your anonymity, the artwork can safely grace your walls whilst you enjoy the secret thrill of knowing who the star of the piece really is!
