Brendon Williams, a Canadian man made headlines around the world recently for posing for a boudoir shoot for his wife\u2019s birthday. Apparently Ben wanted to make his wife laugh and, the photo\u2019s were cheaper than jewellery. Well, I\u2019m sold. So with the help of his friend experienced in boudoir photography, the shoot came to life and the results are something else.<\/p>\n
So this extremely hairy (I\u2019m not kidding. I could nearly do a French braid through his back hair), bearded man poses in his tighty-whities, which mind you, aren\u2019t even the sexy Calvin Klien, more like your kmart or big w variety and he actually nails the hell out of this shoot. The results are strange. Definitely sultry, and dare I say even a little sexy. My ovaries are confused about the whole experience.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the whole thing got me thinking- and not just about whether bearded hairy guys actually float my goat, but about boudoir photography in general. Do men actually want to receive boudoir photos from their partners? And should women now be expecting the same in return? We discuss whether to boudoir or not to boudoir and if you do how to have the best boudoir experience possible\u2026<\/p>\n

I think the most important thing when considering doing a boudoir shoot is to ask yourself if you\u2019re doing this for your or for your partner. It\u2019s all very well to get down with your bad self and get your sexiness on in a boudoir shoot but make sure you\u2019re doing it for the right reasons. If you\u2019re partner\u2019s pushing it for you but you\u2019re not comfortable with stripping off all your clothes, getting into your naughtiest lingerie and getting photo\u2019s that once taken, will never really disappear then just don\u2019t do it. But if you\u2019re all Katy Perry Roar and looking forward to releasing your inner sexy tiger then go for it, the camera\u2019s going to love you!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By Maree Turner Photography<\/a><\/p>\n Or on the opposite spectrum, it might not be something your partner is even into. It\u2019s no secret most people don\u2019t mind a sneaky dirty pic here and there but before you spend a lot of money on a full-blown boudoir shoot, it might be best to have the conversation with your better (or in my case lesser haha) half and make sure it\u2019s something they are into. You\u2019d be surprised at how many people actually aren\u2019t into it for various reasons. If you\u2019re super keen on the idea and your partner isn\u2019t don\u2019t let it dishearten you! Do the shoot for yourself instead, you\u2019ll have beautiful photos of your goddamn beautiful self to keep for years to come.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By Hello Miss Photography<\/a><\/p>\n Before making a decision on to boudoir or not to the boudoir, you need to find a photographer you are comfortable with. Not all studios and photographers are created equally. There are even some that will attempt to overcharge or even pressure you into situations that you\u2019re not comfortable with.\u00a0 So before you decide to jump right in it\u2019s important to research the crap out of them before making your decision who to go to. All reputable photographers will provide a portfolio of work for you to be able to check out the sort of images they produce and their style.\u00a0 They should also be upfront with their prices and have no hidden costs. And you should be able to find reviews online about other people\u2019s experiences with the photographers to help you decide who to choose.<\/p>\n By Hello Miss Photography<\/a><\/p>\n Decided to go for it? For most people, even Ben the bearded man discussed above, a boudoir shoot is totally out of their comfort zone. I mean seriously, how often do you strip down in front of a whole crew of people in your underwear and try and work it like Madonna? It\u2019s probably something you haven\u2019t done before and because the situation is unique you might feel pressured into doing something you don\u2019t want to do. It\u2019s best to set some boundaries from the get go. A nude shoot might be \u201carty\u201d like your photographer suggests, but that doesn\u2019t mean you have to do it, or anything else if you don\u2019t want to. Set boundaries before going into the shoot and stick with them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By The Boudouircafe<\/a><\/p>\n The best bit about doing a boudoir shoot is that\u2019s its empowering. It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re female or male or whether you\u2019re doing it for yourself or your partner, being treated like an absolute celebrity for a few hours is something pretty special. You don\u2019t have to fit into any kind of preconceived idea of beauty, or to fit in any kind of \u201cbeautiful\u201d box. Every person no matter what your physical attributes or body type are can rock the heck out of an intimate boudoir shoot. It can also help your self-esteem and confidence, and show you just how amazing you are in your own skin.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t die of surprise, but the best thing about doing a boudoir shoot is that you\u2019ll get to admire the beautiful photo\u2019s you receive from it for years to come. You\u2019ll be looking so damn good in the prints you\u2019ll probably want to accidentally on purpose send them to that slimy ex who broke your heart a few years back\u2026.Pro tip. Don\u2019t do that. Really. Don\u2019t. But it is up to you what you do with them. Whether you keep them tucked away just to admire for yourself, give us a present to your partner or even turn into canvas prints and decorate your house with them you\u2019ll always have these images for years to come to remind you just how wonderful you are!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brendon Williams, a Canadian man made headlines around the world recently for posing for a boudoir shoot for his wife\u2019s birthday.
