BOUDOIR

     Typically shot in a photographer's studio or luxury hotel suites, it has become fashionable to create a set of sensual or sexually suggestive images of women (& occasionally men & couples)

in indoor "boudoir style" environments.

The most common manifestation of contemporary boudoir photography is to take variations of candid & posed photographs of the subject partly clothed or in lingerie.

Nudity is more often implied than explicit. Commercially, the genre is often derived from a market for brides to surprise their future husbands by gifting the images on or before their wedding day.

Other motivations or inspiration for boudoir photography shoots include anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's Day, weight loss regimes, other form of body change or alteration

(such as breast augmentation or reduction)

& for servicemen & women overseas.
