The difference between Boudoir & Erotic Photography

First off, let’s start with the definition of what a boudoir is to better understand this genre of photography.

A boudoir is defined as a woman’s private bedroom or private dressing area, usually a small room right off from the bedroom where a woman could be alone or entertain intimate friends.

When the term relates to Boudoir Photography the look & feel of these photoshoots are meant to create a similar intimate scenario where a woman is enjoying some alone time and taking care of her needs.

Attire for a Boudoir Photo Shoot would usually be lingerie or other intimate-wear, that you feel sexy & confident in. This can also be done tastefully in the nude, whilst still maintaining an air of mystery & not being full-on Erotic Photography, which is the next topic…

When it comes to Erotic Photography, the look & feel is a lot bolder & in your face. This is taking the expression of your sexuality to another level because the intention is to be sexually suggestive or sexually provocative.

An Erotic Photo Shoot would therefore be more explicit than a Boudoir Photo Shoot & takes a greater degree of confidence & open-mindedness.

Each has its time & place but whatever you choose, the golden rule is always Your Body Your Choice so you don’t ever have to do anything that you don’t feel comfortable with or ready for.

Every woman is different & you are not expected to
be like anyone else but yourself.
