Boudoir photography can be a challenge when you start with it. Because the line between sensual and cheap is very thin, it can be difficult to take good photos at first.
Environment
Make sure the room where you are photographing is free of clutter. Ensure a nice decoration of the bed and that the elements you bring into the frame contribute to the atmosphere.
Pose
Avoid exaggerated poses that emphasize sexuality. Subtly bring sensuality into the frame, but focus primarily on your model's face, for example.
Light
When you are just starting, you don't need to work with different lighting setups right away. Natural light will already get you quite far. In the video below, you can see how to take beautiful boudoir photos with natural light.
This video is in English, but can easily be watched with Dutch subtitles. Click on the button with 'CC' and English subtitles will appear. Then click on the gear icon to adjust the settings. Choose the 'subtitles' option to adjust the subtitles and use the 'auto translate' option to get the text in another language. If this doesn't work in the window on our website, click on the YouTube button to go to the original video location. Here you can adjust the subtitles in the same way as mentioned above. In some videos, the translation function does not work optimally, which may result in some strange sentences. However, for the most part, the translation function provides a good result and the subtitles are easy to understand.
