Picture a Day #66, March 6th, 2013

I've been spending quite a bit of my photography time working on creative pictures and pictures that are consistent with modeling portfolios. I thought I'd take a break from those genres and finish a photograph from a recent boudoir-style shoot.

Boudior comes from French origon, it is a lady's private bedroom, sitting room, or dressing room. Boudoir photography tends to be more elegant than other genres of photography, such as glamour, or semi nude portrait.

Those that read this blog regularly know that I am a big fan of black and white photography. I believe that black and white photography removes distracting colors and forces the viewer to spend more time looking at textures and shapes. I also believe that black and white photography seasons a photo with a timeless elegance and safistication--and those are the qualities that should come through in a boudoir shoot. Absent those qualities, the photo becomes more about glamour photography rather than boudoir.

One of the more common uses of boudoir photography these days is as a gift from a new bride to her groom on the day before or the day of the wedding.
