CELEBRATING INCLUSIVITY
““After a tough year, we didn’t feel very confident (I’d put on weight and Danny has lost it) and didn’t feel ready for a photo shoot. Getting to the studio and looking at the glamorous photos on the wall, I thought I’d never look anything like those pictures. However, I began to relax with the friendly makeup artist and Dave being attentive to the different outfits we’d brought, analysing the styles and colours and matching them to locations. We thought Dave was fantastic at directing us into positions and reassuring us that we were doing well. That really put us at ease and before long we started to enjoy the shoot and the time flew by! The pictures were incredible! Our shoot proves that you don’t have to be feeling your best to look your best, especially when you have an expert photographer to guide you. Thank you Dave for a lovely day and for our fantastic photos.” ”
You’ll notice us mention this throughout this website… Madison Bou is committed to embracing diversity in all it’s glorious forms. We have become known for empowering the LGBTQ+ community and celebrating the huge range of cultural diversity in Yorkshire.
It was instilled in me from an early age by my father who was a German teenager when he was sent to England during the war by his parents who were on Hitler’s Black list. (‘Opie’ was the Mayor of Dresden and a representative of the SDP at the time. The opposition party to the Nazis and, so, not very popular with The Fuhrer)
My fathers’ political views that everyone should be born with equal opportunity ran deeply through our family.
I was shown that men and women should be equal, black and white, yellow, brown, all skins should be seen as one ‘colour’ and nobody should be judged or treated differently in society.
I grew up as an ‘agnostic’ in a very Jewish part of London and attended more bah-mitzvahs than I can remember.
To this day I struggle to understand why prejudices exist at all and worry that religion seems to divide more people than it unites which is kind of a paradox.
I’ve never struggled with sexuality, believing utterly, that humans should be allowed to fall in love with whoever they please. However, like many of my generation, I struggle with the vast multitude of personal pronouns that I encounter on a daily basis and hope to God that this is just a passing phase and will go out of fashion before dementia kicks in.
Luckily I have a thoroughly clued up teenage daughter to help explain it all to me.
So with all that in mind, know this, we will do everything we can to provide a safe and non judgemental space for what we believe, should be one of the most exciting and empowering experiences of your life - Your very own Boudoir Photoshoot.
What is Inclusive Boudoir Photography?
In a society often fixated on youth, we have learned over a 20 year period of photographing women from all cultures and all different bodyshapes, that beauty transcends age, and every life stage along life’s journey deserves to be celebrated.
Inclusivity is not just a buzzword; it's a commitment to empowering women of all shapes and sizes. Sensuality knows no size.
Every woman, whether she wears a size 6 or a size 20, is deserving of an empowering boudoir experience.
Celebrating inclusivity means recognising and respecting the mosaic of cultures that make Yorkshire such a vibrant place to live.
In the steel city of Sheffield or the market town of Selby, our clients have shared their stories of reclaiming confidence through boudoir photography.
Many have overcome self-doubt, societal pressures, and even health challenges to step in front of the camera. These stories confirm the fact that true beauty lies in embracing one's authentic self.
Boudoir photography in Yorkshire is not about conforming to traditional notions of beauty but about empowering every woman to feel confident and beautiful in her own unique skin. It's a celebration of all the scars that tell stories, curves that dance, and smiles that radiate strength.
Our goal is to create images that not only showcase your unique identity but also inspire others to embrace their true selves without fear or hesitation.
We are more than just a photography studio; we are a haven of inclusivity, empowerment, and celebration for the LGBTQ+ community inYorkshire. Our dedication to creating powerful, uplifting images and fostering a welcoming environment sets us apart as the best choice for capturing your authentic self.
Booking a boudoir photoshoot is a thrilling experience that allows you to celebrate your unique beauty and capture moments of confidence and empowerment.
