Boudoir – Lets Hear It For the Girls
I was recently delighted to be a guest blogger on one of my favourite blogs 4togsblog
They gave me a lovely introduction which I have to mention, if you want to read it you can click here and after that they happily published the following article -
Boudoir is about you, yes girls that’s you, it’s about being sexy, it’s about being fierce, it’s about celebrating the woman that you are!
So there are male photographers who do boudoir and I’ve seen some great stuff shot by men but can a man really get into the mind of a woman, you know the old addage that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, well I think that’s a pretty true statement. As a woman I know when I photograph my clients how they want to look and feel and I also know that we women have hang-ups that men don’t even notice, a woman might be a size 8 and still hate her tummy and as I woman I thoroughly understand that, and I think women are more open with women than they are with men. Hey I have pretty much an all male group of friends but if I’m ever going to have a boudoir shoot I wouldn’t in a month of Sundays hire a guy. I trust that women know how women want to look and it’s usually a whole lot different than the way men think they want to look
Essentially boudoir isn’t salacious, it’s not even in the slightest bit slutty and it’s only suggestive if the woman wants it to be.
I also have lumps and bumps (and more than most I hasten to add) and it’s posing by a woman for other women that ensures that my ladies end up with photographs that they love so much they want to share them with their partners and in some cases the entire world.
I truly believe that the male psyche cannot ever understand female body hang-ups because the average man doesn’t ever have them, when was the last time you spoke to a man who was worried about the way his tummy or boobs looked, hell men don’t even have boobs so how can they appreciate how we women feel about them, and believe me when I say that men have a different way of thinking about them than we females.
I would love to hear your opinions (male and female) can men ever compete in the world of boudoir and do they understand the needs and wants of women seeking boudoir photography?
This boudoir shoot is a present from Lady M to her husband to be, it’s so completely top secret that we’re only showing photographs which hide her identity and thats just fine because you don’t have to show your face to be fierce!
Boudoir is such great fun to shoot and I love the reactions of the ladies when they see their galleries, it’s almost like they can’t believe that they’re so gorgeous.
Boudoir photoshoots really are the ultimate girly thing to do not just for your other half but for yourself too, you don’t even have to be in a relationship, think of it as a chance to capture photographs of you at your amazing best right now!
Lady M loves the photographs from her shoot and so will you, what are you waiting for call me, email me, send a pidgeon, just do it!!
Boudoir is of course the perfect gift to give to a husband to be, I mean who wears cufflinks anyway and a little black book is much more fun!
and of course a boudoir photoshoot is the perfect excuse to get some amazing photographs of yourself looking amazing.
I think that Lady G has a definite 50′s film heroine look about her don’t you?
I know that Lady G loves these because I always let my boudoir ladies choose their favourites that they want to be blogged and I’m so lucky that so many of you are happy to share, I love boudoir photography, I love making women see just how amazing and gorgeous they really are, it’s bringing out your inner minx!!
