Have you been dreaming of doing a boudoir shoot but feel very nervous about the process? Do you wish you could get beautiful images that showcases how gorgeous and badass you are, but the idea of posing stresses you out? Well, keep reading as today blog is 100% for you.
When you see photos on our website of our past clients, you might wish you could have their confidence. But the truth is, most of the people who shoot with us never did a photoshoot before and were as nervous as you are. Most of them had the same insecurity as you may have, and some of them even told us they almost drove back to their place on the way to their session because they were so afraid of not being able to go through with it.
Feeling nervous is a completely normal feeling, especially if it is your first time as you don’t know what to expect. But with the right guidance and a fun and relax atmosphere, you will see that your nerves will calm down and you will end up enjoying the experience pretty fast during the photoshoot.
We believe everybody should try boudoir at least once in their life as it is such a transformative journey, and it would be a shame to not experience it out of fear.
Scandaleuse is a safe space that allows you to be your true self
When we opened Scandaleuse Photography, one of our main goals was to bring more inclusivity to the boudoir industry. We were tired of seeing the same type of women, always photographed in the same settings. Boudoir is for everyone, but sadly when looking at examples online, not a lot of people could relate to what they saw and thought that boudoir wasn’t for them.
Opening our own boudoir business was our way of creating a safe space for people to express themselves fully and without any shame, no matter their gender, age, body type, ethnicity or sexuality. We welcome everyone and like to encourage our clients to think outside the box when it comes to their boudoir shoot.
You will always meet us on Zoom before booking anything
Every photographer is different. You want to make sure that the professional that you will hire to photograph you is on the same page as you are, and that you have a good feeling about that person. A boudoir shoot can make people feel vulnerable, so you want to make sure you feel safe and comfortable with your photographer. And also, boudoir is an investment, so you want to get an unforgettable experience.
When you reach out to inquire about a potential photoshoot with us, we will ask you to book an online meeting so we can introduce ourselves, walk you through our boudoir process, and answer all of the questions you have. Because the meeting is done before you book anything with us, it doesn’t commit you to photoshoot.
It is our job to pose you
The most common reason people have to feel anxious when it comes to boudoir photography is not knowing how pose. They see it as a huge problem, they fear they will look really awkward in front of the camera, and they are scared the photos will be awful.
Boudoir is not only for professional models and you do not need to have some past experience when it comes to posing. Explaining and demonstration the poses we have in mind is our job. We guide you from head to toes, telling you were to look, making you work on your posture, and making sure we follow your level of comfort and flexibility.
You will never be left alone in front of the camera without knowing what to do, we got you!
You will never be pressured to pose nude if you don’t want to
Another common misconception about boudoir is believing you will have to expose yourself. Many people think that because they want to do a boudoir shoot they will have to pose fully nude. This is far away from being the truth!
Yes, the art of boudoir photography showcases more skin than traditional headshots or lifestyle photoshoots, but you don’t have to show too much if you don’t want to. Even if you are curious about nudity and would love to try, there are many ways of doing it, from suggested to fully nude, that are still tastefull and artistic. You can get a gorgeous picture of yourself in your birthday suit while still looking elegant, but you can also just focus on outfits if nudity isn’t something you want to show. Everything is possible, nothing is forced.
