This article is to shed light on one of the most often talked about areas of Boudoir and that’s ‘posing’

So many women tell us they need help because they ‘don’t know how to pose’.

It’s ok…. We do and we’ve been helping direct our clients to pose from their heads to their tippy toes for many years. You’re in safe hands when it comes to perfect posing.

To help you even more - Here is our Top 30 Poses that work for pretty much everybody based on 20 years of posing experience.

You’ll notice some recurring themes such as compositional triangles, ‘if a limb is breakable then break it’, ‘ballet hands’ arched backs, stretching, exaggerating curves and pointing toes. These are almost unbreakable rules when posing for Boudoir and are evident in every picture we make…

Your ultra sexy “model for the day” Madison Bou Boudoir Photoshoot will leave you feeling empowered, sensual, beautiful and eager for your next session.

The vast majority of our clients have never had a photoshoot experience before and have no idea what to expect or how to pose in front of a camera. Funnily enough, the people who are the worst at posing are often those women who are constantly posting ‘selfies’ on the socials because this is where the bad habits are picked up. We then spend a good deal of time training away the ‘trout face’ and backward leans that comes from making faces into a poor, wide angle phone camera lens, held at arms length. It’s really an unflattering look and I can’t help but wonder how embarrassed we’ll all be, one day, when we move on from the ‘selfie look’. ..

Over the years, it seems we humans have become less comfortable with being photographed yet because of social media and camera phones, there are now more photos of us than ever before. How odd! Yet, it is for that very reason, that we see so many pictures of ourselves that we have become super picky about every angle.

Most of the pictures we see are taken in poor light by people who have little idea about photography.

Seeing so many bad pictures of ourselves is what’s making us more nervous of being in front of the camera.

It’s a little counter intuitive.

So in this article, we want to redress the balance and give you a little confidence back.

With these simple tips you will be able to look super comfortable in front of the camera and love the way you look. No one should ever be afraid of the camera.

Remember, in our view, it’s not you, it’s the bad photographer who takes a bad picture….

If you’re preparing for your boudoir style photoshoot then you may be a little nervous about how to pose. We get this a lot and always say that we’ve been doing this for so many years now that we will pose you down to your fingertips and you won’t have to worry about a thing.

Boudoir Photoshoots are often associated with Beds and so for this article we thought it would be a good idea to show just how many poses can be created very easily on the bed.

Most bed poses come from these ideas as the inspiration and as we progress through the session, we adapt each pose to suit your body shape, flexibility and style.

Your Boudoir style photoshoot may not even include a bed at all. Sometimes it’s more appropriate to use a chaise longue or settee or sometimes, even the floor!

“I really wanted to have some lovely photos of me in some of the lingerie/accessories that I never get to wear! Also at my age I wanted to have something that I would be able to keep to look back on, It was a really lovely day from start to finish and I felt thoroughly spoiled and beautiful.” … Claire

Firstly, let’s make one thing clear. We don’t do traditional poses.

We know, everyone is different, with different body shapes and range of movement. Every client has a different comfort level as well with regard to how much of their body they want to show off.
