For those of you just starting to explore this field, let’s do a quick recap.

What is boudoir photography?

Origin

The term itself comes from French and was usually used for a woman’s bedroom, or a private room. And as the meaning of the term in its origin is sensual, intimate and erotic, so is everything it connects to.

The goal of boudoir photography is to depict a female (and sometimes male) body in a subtle and feminine way, in its most natural habitat.

Nude female figures were a theme of photography since the nineteenth century. And the prequel of boudoir was, not surprisingly, pin-up.

Tips

Now, if you are indeed new to this, I have a couple of suggestions that will help you, and your future clients as well.

Considering the fact that most of your models will probably be women who have never actually been in this setting before, it is vital that you create a comfortable atmosphere on set. Ask them about their preferences, like music, and wardrobe; prepare for the actual shooting and show your clients that they can feel safe.

One good thing that you always have to have in your photography arsenal, are posing cards.

This is the safety net that you can come back to in case you run out of ideas, or you just can’t seem to find common ground with the person you are shooting with. This is simply something that you can always fall back on and that will always be a source of good ideas and further inspiration.

KISS – Keep It Simple Silly

Don’t go exaggerating with the details and props you want to use for the photos. At most cases, this just ends up looking stuffed. The whole point of boudoir photography is sensuality and simplicity, keep that in mind at all times.

Boudoir Quotes

Boudoir quotes add new meaning and depth to your beautiful boudoir photos. So, how do quotes come into this story?

The great thing is, there are so many reasons for quotes, and ways to use them. And also, here are 100 bold and beautiful boudoir quotes bundle you will ever find.

Here are five of them:

Idea

You already know what you want to say, you managed to get the result you needed and everything aligned perfectly.

Now, the one thing you can do is just speak the idea behind the photo. You can literally say what went through your head, what your goal was, what inspired you and what you want to pass on. It’s a sure way to make sure your audience can understand your message.

The photo speaks to you

You completed the process, the photo shoot is done and the result is great and in itself a source of inspiration. You can now write what the photo is saying to you and choose what emotion you are depicting. Sometimes you can begin a process with one idea and end it with one entirely different, but hey, that’s art.

Empowering

We’ve all felt the effects of short and powerful quotes on ourselves. Sometimes that’s all we need as an energy source. If you have a statement for the masses or just a short and simple message, you can pass it on in this way. Of course, the message needs to be in accordance with the theme of the photos. Is the mood gloomy or bubbly and girlish? Are you thinking about black and white photos or do you love a pop of color?

In the end, everything is up to you.

(There, an example!)

Message

A photo with a short text that follows? You mean advertising?

Actually, yes.

In the modern world of today, the market is opened to anything. So if you are in the branding world, have a product that needs selling, and it’s a good fit for boudoir quotes – go for it!

At the beginning of World War II, the United States government used similar messages to encourage young men to fight.

They began using posters which depicted pin-up girls, together with slogans like “She’s worth fighting for” or “Come home to your girl a hero”.

These pin-up campaigns were actually the paving stone for the acceptance of the female body in advertising.

Now that is some great marketing.
