Glossary of Terms : Boudoir

A boudoir is a lady’s personal bedroom, sitting or dressing room. The term comes from the French verb ‘bouder’, which means to “pout” or “sulk”.

Originally, the boudoir was part of a lady’s private suite of rooms and used for bathing and dressing, and it was adjacent to her bedchamber. In later times the boudoir was a small, elegant, feminine, quiet sitting-room where a lady would go to read, write, embroider or entertain intimate acquaintances or friends.

John Wood Photography specialises in finding the an original and unique style for each customer by discussing what they like and how the customer wants to achieve it. Often the end result is influenced by the tastes of the intended recipient of the photograph or album, but it is also a way for a woman to see herself portrayed in a beautiful and sensual manner.

It is widely experienced that most women find it a very enjoyable and rewarding experience and change their views of their own bodies when they see the photographs.

Different results are achieved through the use of make-up artists, hair stylists and photoshop, but there is also something to be said for finding and capturing the beauty that already exists within a woman. Make-up can generate a feeling of confidence, without make-up there is a vulnerability which, when photographed sensitively, is appealing and sensual.
