THE STORY OF BOUDOIR

The term "Boudoir" comes from the French Language verb bouder meaning "to sulk" and was primarily attributed to women's dressing rooms or sitting rooms and private salons. Nude or sexualized female forms have been a theme of photography since as early as 1840. Early erotic photography, such as French postcards from the late 19th and early 20th century, pin-up girls, and Hollywood culture have influenced the visual style of boudoir photography. Notable early artists of the form include Albert Arthur Allen who photographed larger women against ornate backgrounds.

BOUDOIR DURING WWII

After the dissolution of the Prohibition era in 1933 and the beginning of World War II, the US Government began using propaganda to encourage young men to fight for their country. With the knowledge that “sex sells”, the military began using pin-up girls on their recruiting posters with slogans like “She’s worth fighting for” or “Come home to your girl a hero”. This made the pin-up girl one of the most recognizable forms of boudoir and paved the way for modern boudoir by normalizing the female form in advertising. Known for her “million dollar legs”, actress Betty Grable was the icon of pin-up girls in the 1930s and '40s. One of her most famous portraits was distributed to over five million troops during WWII. Not only was she known as one of the first women to take out insurance on a body part, she was also known for being one of the highest paid female actors in Hollywood during her time. Other examples of boudoir from that era include images of Clara Bow, Mae West and Jean Harlow.

BOUDOIR DURING THE 21ST CENTURY

Boudoir photography was popularized in the millennium with the arrival of digital photography. It became popular with women seeking to create a private collection of professional studio portraits. Boudoir photography dates from the mid-1980s onwards, and is characterized by the empowerment of its female subjects. It is common for women to have boudoir photographs of themselves made as a gift to a partner, conventionally on the occasion of their engagement, marriage, or before an enforced separation such as a military deployment. In the United Kingdom it became popular for brides-to-be to commission photoshoots as a wedding gift for the groom. Boudoir photography is also sometimes given as a gift with the intention of re-affirming and encouraging the romance and sensuality between partners in a long-term relationship.



Increasingly, boudoir photography is seen as something that a person might do purely for their own enjoyment, for the pleasure and affirmation of seeing themselves as attractive, daring, sensual, and sexually desirable.

WHY I SHOOT BOUDOIR

For me boudoir is about taking away all of the stigmas about what women should be and how they should look and giving them a window to see how naturally beautiful they really are. I am extremely against photoshopping a persons body into what the world thinks they should be or what they think they should look like. The only photoshopping I do is lighting and color adjustments, temporary blemish removal such as zits, and clothing tag removal. It is important to me for a person to see that the image that the world has beaten into their head through social media, films, and advertising is not the image they have to achieve to be beautiful. It seems like no matter how much you tell a person how beautiful they are they won't believe you. I got into boudoir because the uplift and change I see in a persons mental health and the excitement and joy they have after seeing themselves in their photos makes me feel like I have shown them a piece of themselves that they never thought they would see...  For me, sharing that experience with people is truly lifechanging!
