Vintage Glamour

I love VINTAGE!! Especially in boudoir photography! It is so fun to shoot pin-ups! HAVING THAT SEXY INNOCENCE and using it to flirt thru the camera is just so fun. Creating a whole vintage scene and adding those great innocent yet sexy expressions to each image! Maybe u could make a whole calendar for your man to hang up in his manly garage!

Little things

It is the little things that make us remember fond and cherished memories, right? This is an example of how a bride to be rekindled those memories for her husband in A Pre-Wedding Photo album.

They met in a bar, i know she said she never thought this dating approach actually worked. But, It worked for them. Soon they were engaged. And She always remembers the first night they met. She wanted him to remember it on their special day.

As a gift, she scheduled a session with me, and we played out the whole bar scene. Pretty Cocktails and Martini glasses, and the “martini soaked olive”, seen here.  It all was the same, besides her being nude ofcourse.

She had her maid of honor give him his “present” right before they walked down the aisle. I was there. I photographed it. And let me ask you..Ever seen a grown man get weak right in front of your eyes? Ever see a grown man be brought to tears and  say, “Im getting married to …HER!” It was the coolest moment ever! I was so happy for the two of them!

No other gift can compare to the one he got that day, besides her hand in marriage.

Sneak Peek

 

“Photography of and for one”

To me it  is a must to Archive your Sensuality. How amazing to feel so liberated and to have someone to have such Evidence of your Beauty. Captivating your partner with a Seductive Glance or Suggestive Pose.

It is said best by the writer (photographer) of this blog: http://boudoirphotographer.squarespace.com/

“My definition of boudoir photography is this: Erotic photography of and for one. Seems simple enough.

But read it again, and this time, pause on the last word and ponder all that it could mean knowing that the “one” is one woman, multifaceted and mysterious as all women are, probably a little apprehensive or shy, and that this singularly-focused intimate work must be done within the privateness of her space, not to be shared with the outside world. This is what makes boudoir photography different from other types of female photography.”

Like a Dream

 

Looking at you is the same as dreaming awake.

Piece by Piece

 Sometimes the funnest thing is givin your somebody a photo book, and each picture leading to the next, like a story, and watching them get more and more interested! Think about this next time you want a special gift for your significant other!  He will always remember that gift, for years and years to come!

Thoughts of You

Bedroom (Boudoir) Photography does not have to have nudity, nor do you have to run around in your underwear for every shot. Its about telling a story, or conveying an idea of “thoughts of you”. Someplace a lady is thinking of you, while looking elegant and sexy.

The pouting room is defined as:

 ”room where a lady may retire to be alone,” from Fr., lit. “pouting room,” from bouder “to pout, sulk,” which, like pout, is probably of imitative origin.

Bou*doir”\, n. [F., fr. bouder to pout, be sulky.] A small room, esp. if pleasant, or elegantly furnished, to which a lady may retire to be alone, or to receive intimate friends; a lady’s (or sometimes a gentleman’s) private room. –Cowper.

Got the idea?

Boudoir Photography Explained

Boudoir Photography has become a very popular form of portraiture and there are many terms associated with the genre. Boudoir, Vintage, Burlesque, Pin-up, FYEO and Make-over are all familiar phrases, but what do they all mean?

The various phrases and descriptions you’ll be familiar with are boudoir, make-over, vintage, pin-up, nude, ‘for your eyes only’ and so on. All of these terms are used quite liberally and sometimes it’s not always clear what these terms actually represent? As already stated, there are no specific rules and everyone’s ideas will vary, but this is how I would classify each individual term:

Boudoir

This is the main term which is used although, in my opinion, the images which spring to mind are quite specific. Traditionally the ‘boudoir’ was a lady’s private bedroom or dressing room. The word drives from the French ‘Bouder’ meaning to pout.

I think of Boudoir as defining a style of image that shows a woman in a partial state of undress, usually her underwear. The idea is to imply nudity in a provocative and tasteful manner without crossing the line into actual nudity.

Vintage Boudoir

Vintage Boudoir is a curious term which seems to have found it’s way into the photography lexicon without anyone being able to explain why? A simple web search for the term ‘vintage boudoir’ returns a wide range of results from furniture to fashion.

Champagne, for example, can be described as vintage if the grapes used to produce it were from a specific year’s harvest. The Champagne could be only 2 years old but would still be correctly described as ‘vintage’.

Similarly, I think of the term Vintage, in the context of boudoir or fashion, refers to a period in the past. It could be the 1960′s, 1950′s, 1940′s and so on. The term isn’t referring to any specific period, only a period in time when a certain style could be considered to be iconic. Different photographers will have their own interpretation of the vintage style which will be influenced by their personal preferences.

Make-Over

Perhaps one of the broadest descriptions applied to many forms of glamour portraiture a ‘make-over’ can imply all manner of styles. A classic make-over, to my mind, can be best exemplified as photo session which shows you at your best. Often it involves a make-up and hair restyle together with a collection of fashion clothing. The images can be sexual but I tend to think they are more family orientated and can be a fun idea for all ages?

Makeovers have become popular mainly though TV shows such as What not to Wear. These kind have shows have spawned an entire industry and there are literally hundreds of companies in the UK offering their take on the makeover genre.

For Your Eyes Only

‘For your eyes only’ or ‘FYEO’ is a play on the phrase used in the James Bond novel and movie of the same name. It was coined by Alexandra Burns of FYEO who were one of the first commercial photography studios to offer boudoir style photography to women in the UK. FYEO is a marketing term and doesn’t, as such, define any style of photographic imagery.

Pin-Up

Pin-up photography refers to calendar or poster type images of glamour models and actresses. It can also be used to describe drawings or illustrations depicting glamorous women.

Pin-up art originated in America in the late 1930’s and became popular when iconic images of scantily clad females were recreated en-mass on magazine covers, calendars, playing cards and even adorning the side of aircraft – a tradition known as nose art and upheld to this day by Virgin Atlantic.
A term often associated with pin-up imagery is ‘cheesecake’, said to derive from an American term used to describe a pretty woman (as in ‘better than cheesecake’). 

The genre remained popular right through the late 1960’s until the interests of feminism and political correctness brought about it’s demise.

There were many famous pin-up artists, each with their own distinctive style, and there are still many collectors and admirers of this style of imagery even today, hence it’s resurgence in demand along with the boudoir trend.

Choosing a Photography Style

Boudoir photography encompasses many styles and each specialist photographer will have his or her own ideas and interpretation. The message here then would be to find a photographer who’s style appeals to you visually, rather than be swayed by any particular label or phrase which may or may not be in fashion at the moment.
