There’s this little genre of boudoir photography that I happen to adore…kind of a “sub-niche” if you will. It’s not everyone’s bag, and it doesn’t need to be the entire duration of your photo shoot experience, but most women that I talk to are drawn to this type of imagery.
A R T I S T I C N U D E S , y’all. artistic nudes.
So many times my clients will have images like this saved on their required “homework” mood boards but then when I say out loud on the day of their session “Ok, so you want to do some artistic nudes, then?” they’re eyes swell to a terrified state and they emphatically shake their head no. NUDE?!
Yes. Nude. Those pictures that you saved that you said you loved? Those women are nude, silly. And to be honest, my style of artistic nudes are often more modest than the rest of my typical boudoir images. They cover just enough and reveal just enough to make the image ultra powerful.
There’s tons of ways to shoot nude boudoir photos…so obviously you want to make sure that you and your photographer (hopefully that’s ME since you’re on this blog right now) are on the same page about what you want these images to look like.
The Natasha Jane nude boudoir style is definitely on the artistic and classy side as you can see in these portraits. I play up highlights and shadows with the help of strategic lighting, REALLY strategic angles and posing, and with my secret weapon for incredible skin for these images. More simply put: We hide your naughty bits one way or another, even if they feel exposed during the session.
Throughout the shoot we make sure that nothing is “hanging out” that you don’t want to be hanging out. And we do NOT shoot nude crotch at our studio…no way, no how. So you can rest assured that your lady bits will stay covered and you will walk away from your photo reveal will some really incredible wall-worthy artistic nudes
This type of imagery is amazing for ANY woman of any shape or size. The light and shadows are incredibly flattering (believe me. This is the ONLY way I will EVER agree to be photographed completely nude. Everrrrr.), and the finished product is insanely striking.
So there, I did my duty as a boudoir photographer and showed you that shooting a few nudes at your boudoir shoot really doesn’t have to be terrifying. At least not with me!!!! It’s my job to make you comfortable. It’s my job to make you forget your body insecurities. It’s my job to make you look your ABSOLUTE BEST. And I’m ….like….REALLY good at my job. 😉
Don’t be afraid to incorporate artistic nudes into your NJS photoshoot experience! You’ll be happy you did. xoxo Let’s chat
So beautifully written!!!
Love this concept for a shoot
