Boudoir photographs are often sexy and highly-stylized photographs taken for special occasions, or to enhance a model's portfolio. If you are interested in photographing boudoir-style images, or having this genre of photography done, outline every aspect of the photo session to ensure a tasteful, provocative and creative photograph. A professional boudoir photographer can help make photo shoot decisions and provide insight into poses and props. - Decide on the main theme of the photograph, such as a fireplace, romantic dinner or lounging in a bed covered with red roses. Design your set with warm colors and sentimental items to create a romantic atmosphere. Be as creative as possible. Include jewelry your partner may have given you, or items that have meaning to both of you. Including items like wine glasses, chocolate-covered strawberries or a special outfit can add a romantic touch. Creating boudoir photography rich with romantic symbolism, both traditional and modern, can be beautiful and intriguing.
- Determine to be sexy, not sleazy. It is a fine line that comes down to your choice of outfit and setting, which will determine your picture's undertone or personality. To create a seductive shot without revealing too much skin, rest in a bathtub filled to the brim with bubbles. Set up candles along the edges of the tub to enhance the mood. Sprinkle roses atop the bubbles and use darker shades of makeup to give you a seductive quality. If you're married, another idea is to wear your honeymoon outfit while lounging on a sofa or leaning against a window with silk drapes. This will elicit pleasant memories for your partner and allow you to recreate the sensuality of your wedding night.
- Model in a 1950s pin-up costume with period-style hair and makeup for a sexy, entertaining and seductive image. View photographs of 1950s pin-up girls and research costume ideas and hairstyles. You will notice these photographs often feature a playful model in a somewhat sensual pose. Props will vary according to the type of pin-up girl you choose. For the housewife look, posing with a vacuum cleaner or other cleaning accessory in a provocative stance can be quite striking; however, you can also go for the vixen look with leather or period-themed lingerie.
