Wild And Wacky – Crazy Makeup

Wild and Wacky Hair and Crazy Makeup
There is a fine line between having a well defined photographic style, and constantly putting out the same stale, boring work week after week. Every artist needs to be inspired and every now and then we love to experiment a little and push the boat out.
We get a little wild and wacky and try something new. Here we collaborated with some Bradford hair and makeup artists on this incredible 3d make-up look. This is the great thing about being an artist and working with others – The freedom to express ourselves.
So much fun.

Are you considering booking a Boudoir Photoshoot but feeling a little unsure about what to expect or what to ask?
Don't worry, you're not alone.
We’ve been photographing women for a long time (around 20 years), and probably seen and heard it all. As fun as boudoir certainly is, it's still not every day that women get to shed their clothes in front a photographer they really don't know. So this can often lead to a lot of anxiety in the run up to the shoot day.
Also, due to the intimate nature of this style of photography, potential clients may have questions about the process, that might be awkward or may seem a bit personal to ask.
This is why we’ve compiled a list of questions you may have been wondering about boudoir, but were a bit embarrassed to ask. so let's get started.
In a world where the media often emphasises the importance of romantic relationships, it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing that certain experiences are only truly fulfilling when shared with a partner.
One such misconception revolves around boudoir photography sessions and gifting it to a partner.
However, the truth is that you don’t need a partner to indulge in a boudoir session.
In fact, we’d argue that every session should be looked at as a solo session.
To reward yourself, to do it specifically for you.
If you have a partner, maybe show them the images…But make no mistake, this is all about YOU!
Don’t ever think you have to gift an experience or the images from a boudoir experience to anyone but yourself.
But why might you want to do something like this for yourself?…
In ‘traditional boudoir’, some sort of lingerie is often involved.
What if you don’t like lingerie?
Well, Here at Madison Bou Photography we’re rewriting the rules. We believe that every woman deserves to feel empowered and confident in her own skin, without conforming to outdated standards of beauty. That's why we've made it our mission to create a space where women can truly be themselves and celebrate their unique beauty in all its forms.
We say, “wear whatever you want to wear.”
This kind of thinking opens a lot more doors creatively.
By encouraging our clients to wear whatever makes them feel comfortable and confident, Whether it's a glamorous gown, a cozy sweater, or literally, nothing at all, the choice is entirely theirs. True beauty lies in authenticity, and that's exactly what we strive to capture in every photo we take.
So, when choosing your outfits for a boudoir experience, think about what you feel good wearing.
This experience is all about you, after all, so ask yourself “what outfits makes you feel more confident? What outfits make you feel more beautiful?”
(Oh, and no ‘negative talk’ like….. “I DON’T FEEL BEAUTIFUL IN ANYTHING” …. That kind of talk is prohibited around here :-)
Our approach to boudoir photography is all about celebrating diversity and individuality. Every body is beautiful, regardless of shape, size, or age. That's why we work closely with each of our clients to ensure that their unique personality shines through in every image.
From playful and flirty to bold and daring, we celebrate the full spectrum of femininity in all its glory.
So why settle for "traditional" boudoir when you can have something so much more meaningful?

Confidence is not something you’re born with, it’s something that you have to work hard to achieve. (Like all good things in life)
Jayne has danced in front of thousands of people in outlandish costumes on prestigious stages such as Moulin Rouge in Paris and all over the world in Japan, Korea, Greece, Italy and Austria. Did she do all that without nerves on stage or without losing confidence? Of course not.
I spent nearly 30 years on the radio, every day broadcasting to thousands of people in their homes and workplaces. Just looking at the microphone and trying to work out what to say as the 3 minute record started to fade out slowly would fill me with dread. I would often be asked to walk out on stage in front of thousands of people to entertain them for a few minutes until I had to introduce the main act. You think that’s not terrifying? Of course it was.
No one is born with confidence, you have to work hard at it…
