Choose the boudoir photo styles right for you – Artistic, Sensual, or ProvocativeYour boudoir portraits can be shot in a variety of styles to personalize them in your own way and to accommodate a variety of tastes. And you can mix up different shooting and post-production styles to achieve diversity in the collection of images we create for you.
The basic package includes three different looks. So maybe you would like to do something soft, subtle, and sensual for yourself. Muted colors, soft focus, soft and gentle mood and lighting. This feminine style is very popular.
On the other hand, you could do something more glamourous and sexy for your husband or boyfriend. Bright, eye-popping colors, stronger posing and camera angles, with flirty or more provocative mood. The choice is yours, and we will gladly consult with you when you plan your session to make sure you know of the many alternative styles we offer, and so you are able to choose the look that best suits you and your needs.
Look through books, magazines, websites, calendars, etc. Feel free to let us know the looks you like best. Chances are we can accommodate what you're looking for, especially with our state-of-the-art retouching and compositing services.
Would you like a night shot in a rain coat and sexy stockings and lingerie in a Paris street scene with the Eifel Tower in the background? No problem. Or maybe you would like to pose in a sexy swimsuit at sunset on a Venice, California beach? We've done it. John has been accumulating cool background images from all over the world, and you can use these images with the poses we shoot of you to make something really intriguing.
Our retouching services can improve your body contour, skin, hair & make-up, facial expression, etc. Now you can benefit from the kind of retouching that makes models, actresses, and celebrites look good – and it's all very affordable. You can see some samples at: www.johnmanningphotography.com/retouching.html .
Hair and make-up artists are available if you would like to book one. You can bring your own if you prefer. Professional hair/make-up is a good idea, but if your budget does not allow, it's not really necessary any more with the retouching that is available. We can also shoot some video footage of your shoot if like.
Have you thought about doing some of your poses with full, partial, or implied nudity? Have no fear. Our work is vary tasteful. You will be proud of the results, which will be tailored to your needs and tastes. Some of our clients create images that are very suggestive and private. Others desire fine-art nudes they can frame and mount on their walls. Once again, it's all up to you. And the shooting session is very comfortable. Having shot more than 7,000 amateur and professional models from all over the world, John is very adept at "model psychology", making you feel good so you will look good.
You can even bring a friend if you like. And if she chooses to do a portrait session at the same time, you will each get a discount on your shoot.
Thinking about a fantasy image? We're very enthusiastic about creative expressions of female beauty. The sky's the limit. We'll work together as co-creators to come up with some new and exciting – and flattering.
