Every photographer develops a preferred style over time and many create recognisable styles which clients gravitate to more than others.

Without even knowing it perhaps, you will be drawn to a specific type of picture or style.

When looking through Boudoir Photographer websites you will naturally develop preferences and you may not even know why you prefer one picture to another.

It’s a little like choosing which piece of art you prefer, is it that abstract nude by Picasso or the dark and moody window lit portrait by Rembrandt?

You may not know why but you will probably have a preference.

Boudoir Photography is like that. Some of the women you see are lit to perfection and look like models in a magazines, whereas some boudoir photography is more gritty and ‘real’ with cellulite and love handles on show for all to see.

At Madison Bou we want you to feel like a woman in a magazine and we want you to learn to love your love handles!

That said, we don’t want you to focus on your love handles and cellulite we want you to focus on your beauty so we light you exquisitely to minimise those things that you’d rather not see and make sure the best light is on the feature you do want to see. Your beautiful eyes, for example.

You’ll certainly see our style by looking through the PORTFOLIO section of our website. If we were to summarise our picture style, we’d say like ‘Mamma Mia’ the movie, in that everything looks upbeat and lit with sunshine and faces and skin are largely bright and shadowless. Not every picture is like this, of course, but the ‘Mama Mia’ vibe is generally our signature look. What if you prefer a more Black and White look for your Boudoir Pictures? Some studios shoot manly in black and white that’s their style and it can look fantastic for Boudoir. It’s important to lit the subject properly though, regardless whether it’s black and white or colour. When a scene is lit badly, the shadows disappear into black masses and eyes become ‘dead’. Some photographers cover up their colour issues by simply pressing the ‘black and white’ button and this is not a good look. (In our opinion, of course, but feel free to differ… Art is in the eye of the beholder after all)

So, for those that love the timless classiness of boudoir in Black and White we now have a Black and White Gallery just for you. We would love nothing more than to be commissioned to create a stunning Black and White album just for you, printed on our new Fine Art Matt pages which have a real wow factor.

The absence of colour allows us to simply focus on form, texture, and emotion, creating an intimate visual narrative that is extra-ordinary. This is our version of sensual black and white boudoir photography, where every frame tells a story of elegance, empowerment, and the celebration of individual beauty…

Bright, colourful pictures like this can look super dramatic in Black and White

The Timeless Appeal of Monochrome:

Black and white photography has an the ability to evoke emotion and showcase the raw essence of a moment.

In the context of boudoir, this classic approach transforms the intimate into art, emphasising the interplay of light and shadow, and accentuating the subject's natural beauty. The resulting images carry a timeless quality, reminiscent of vintage glamour yet entirely contemporary in their nature.

Embracing Contrast:

One of the more striking elements of black and white boudoir photography is the play of contrast.

The intermingling of light and darkness – these contrasts heighten the visual impact, creating images that are both bold and delicately nuanced.

It's a dance of shadows that accentuates the subject's unique features and fosters a sense of mystery.

Focus on Form and Texture:

Without the distraction of colour, the viewer's attention is drawn to the subtle details that define the subject's form. Every curve, every contour becomes a statement of individual beauty.

Fabrics take on a tactile quality, and the textures of lingerie or surroundings become integral elements in the composition.

Black and white boudoir photography is a celebration of the tactile and visual elements that make each image a work of art.

Expression of Emotion:

In the absence of colour distractions, black and white boudoir photography places a spotlight on the subject's emotional expression.

Whether it's a coy smile, a sultry gaze, or a moment of quiet contemplation, the emotional resonance of each photograph is heightened.

Black and white tones enhance the mood, allowing the viewer to connect more easily with the emotions of the subject.

Empowerment Through Simplicity:

There's a profound simplicity in black and white boudoir photography that seemingly amplifies its impact.

By stripping away colour, the focus shifts to the subject's inherent beauty, fostering a sense of empowerment.

It's a celebration of self-love and confidence, captured in a monochromatic image that speaks volumes.

Sensual black and white boudoir photography is an exploration of intimacy, aesthetics, and the enduring allure of simplicity.

It's a journey where each frame becomes a testament to the unique beauty and strength of the individual.

Embrace the journey of self-discovery and empowerment – it’s a gift you give yourself that will continue to resonate for years to come.
