Glossary of Terms : Boudoir

Soft and Sensual Boudoir PhotographA 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.

Examples of soft and sensual photographs can be seen at Boudoir Photography.

Berkshire Bridal Boudoir MomentA great deal of “boudoir photos” are created in a photographer’s studio where it has become the fashion to create a set of alluring photographs for ladies of all ages, shapes and sizes in the “soft and sensual boudoir” style; this often involves partially clothed images or photos in lingerie and has become more than just a passing fad for brides to surprise there future husbands Bridal Boudoir Photo Shoot.

Boudoir Feathers PhotographJohn 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.

Berkshire Anniversary Boudoir PhotographThese are a selection of photographs printed in an album given to J’s partner as an anniversary present. J has never modelled before and this was her first time in front of a camera in a studio. He was very pleased with the present as he had always wants photographs of J but never expected something like these.

We met one evening to discuss what she wanted and came up with a series of about 18 poses and sets which told a story and portrayed J in images designed to surprise, tease and delight her partner.

J’s review of her experience is: “Absolutely fab time, absolutely wonderful photographer, felt completely comfortable and at ease, after thinking I was going to be really nervous! – And the finished product is stunning… A massive confidence boost. If you fancy spending a day or a couple of hours having a laugh, feeling good about yourself and come away with something beautiful – I highly recommend John Wood”

John Wood Photography
dsc_0018A successful working studio run by award winning, Danny James in Bedford. Danny greeted me warmly and over a cup of coffee started talking to me about what type of photography I was doing. He happily shared all sorts of information with me even though I am a potential competitor. This covered equipment, suppliers, software, hardware and techniques.

I had arranged and paid for studio tuition with Danny and a model (Leander) so I could see how all the different equipment worked in practise and then I had a couple of hours using the equipment on my own, with advice available from Danny when I wanted it. Here are a few shots with her. Continue reading Elemental – Studio Flash…

Georgina Khul Model BerkshireThese are the results from a portrait photography shoot in Bracknell, Berkshire. I used it to develop and improve posing, lighting and photography techniques as well as to extend my portrait portfolio.

Here are examples of other Model Portfolio Photoshoots.

Some of the photographs are taken with natural light from a large window on the other side of the room, some with flashguns, umbrellas and a white backdrop, backlit by two remote vivitar flashguns and some are lit by a combination of ambient tungsten light with colour, filtered flash bounced off a reflector and the camera colour corrected. All of this was taken in a room using the portable studio.

The photographs were enhanced in Photoshop with the aim of creating beautiful images that could be hung on a wall.
