Boudoir Photography Sydney

WELCOME TO MY BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY SYDNEY STUDIO

Boudoir gallery

Hello, I’m Jay…

… and I’m a boudoir photographer based in Sydney

I assume you came to my boudoir photography page on a recommendation of one of your friends, or maybe while searching for Boudoir Photography Sydney studio. Are you thinking about doing a boudoir photo shoot?

There are as many reasons to shoot boudoir as there are women wanting to do it. Some of my female clients did it because it made them feel confident. Others, because the experience made them feel empowered and in control of their life and body. You may be one of the many women who came for a boudoir photo shoot simply because they wanted beautiful images for themselves, or for their other half. Stunning and sexy photographs they can keep and admire for many years to come.

Whatever the reason you landed on my page, I welcome you here and I will be happy to provide a service that will help you achieve your goals.

My boudoir photography style

Before we start our boudoir photo session I will give you a few simple tips regarding posing for boudoir. Those tips are very important part of my photo session, because it really doesn’t take much to transform an ordinary pose into something beautiful. I like dynamic boudoir photography so I don’t intend to pose every hair and every finger. You will get directions from me, and as a result, your body will respond in the most natural way and I’ll be there to capture it.

Don’t worry if you’ve never been in front of the camera. I will choose and show you the right poses and I will shoot you in the best light, to make you look beautiful, sexy and comfortable. This is my job, so don’t worry about it, relax and just leave it to me.

My boudoir sessions are usually 1-2 hours long, plus the time it takes to do your makeup. I don’t want to rush things because boudoir photography is a very personal and intimate experience. It is my job to build the trust required to achieve these poses and expressions. Trust in my ability as a boudoir photographer and trust in my professionalism.

Frequently Asked Questions

BEFORE THE SESSION

How much does it cost?

The boudoir experience starts at $280. I am here to guide you throught the whole process to get you exactly what you want. Please email me to get detailed pricing for digital images, albums, and wall art.

Where will the boudoir session take place?

The most common location for a boudoir shoot is your own home. You will feel comfortable there. For my style of boudoir photography we’ll just need a room with good natural light for a few hours. If you’re staying in a hotel or AirBnB we can do the shoot there too.

If you prefer not to shoot at home, we will have your boudoir experience in our studio in Surry Hills.

For visitors to Sydney

If you’re visiting Sydney from out-of-town, you can combine it with a boudoir session in a Sydney hotel room. Give me some notice, please, to organise my schedule. Also, when you are booking a hotel room with the intention to do a boudoir photo session, please get a room with the biggst window or best natural light.

Do you travel outside of Sydney?

I shot my boudoir portraits at many locations away from Sydney. The Blue Mountains, Central Coast, even Gold Coast. If you live away from Sydney, but still want to book a boudoir session, please contact me. Some additional travel cost may be involved, but it doesn’t hurt to have a chat about it.

You are a male boudoir photographer…

Yes I am. I know that this is a question often asked. Some women are unsure about a male boudoir photographer, but some prefer them. I think that there are actually quite a few benefits to having a male boudoir photographer.

Men and women typically see women differently. We notice different things, and we find different things to be sexy; therefore we will most likely also pose you differently. For example, if your images are for your husband or fiance, then maybe it’s not a bad idea to take portraits from a male perspective.

At the end of the day, I am sure that all professional boudoir photographers, male or female will do their utmost to make your boudoir experience a memorable one.

Choose a boudoir photographer whose work you like and I am sure that you will love the experience.

Can I book a session with a friend?

Absolutely. If you have a friend who is also interested in a boudoir experience, please bring her along. Also ask me about the specials for booking with friends. Use the form below to message me, or open the Contact Page

DURING THE SESSION

I am not a model. I have never done it before. Can you help?

Over the years I have shot women of all ages, shapes and sizes. I always assume that you don’t know anything about posing. You are hiring me to make you look beautiful and it is my job to do it.

The only thing you need to do is to relax and enjoy the experience. The nerves will calm after a few shots and I promise you that you will enjoy the boudoir experience. I also promise you that you’ll get a little bit of a workout. 🙂

I start the session with a few tips that make your poses shine. Then I’ll guide you and direct you, and often show you exactly what I want you to do. Don’t worry about the process. With great posing and lighting you will get some amazing portraits.

How long is the boudoir experience?

Your session will start with a professional makeup session. This will take just over 1 hour.

The actual boudoir shoot is usually aroud 90 minutes.

Can I do my own makeup?

Yes. Normally makeup is part of the boudoir experience, and it is an essential part. However, if you are happy to do your own makeup or have a great makeup artist, you can organise your own makeup. There will be a discount in the session fee if you choose to do your own makeup.

What to wear/bring to a boudoir session?

Wardrobe for a boudoir session can be a very personal thing. You should bring outfits that make you feel confident, beautiful and sexy. As a guide let me suggest a few things.

Of course lingerie. This could be a 2 piece, or a body suit. Bring a camisole if you have it. In fact bring what you have and I’ll help you make the right choice during the shoot.

Bring something casual as well. A loose t-shirt, a man’s shirt, sexy shorts, jeans, a leather jacket. Even the casual things you wear can be spiced up with the right pose.

AFTER THE SESSION

Will my photos be on the internet?

I never share images from the shoot without permission. Every client featured on my website or on my Instagram has given me permission to use their images. Privacy is extremely important to me, so if you decide not to share your pictures, that is absolutely fine. If you give me permission, then I’d love to share your pictures so that other women can see what the experience looks and feels like.

How long before we can see our images?

Your images will be available within 3 weeks from the shoot. You will be able to view the proofs in your private, password protected gallery.

Do you retouch the images?

Every image in your collection will be enhanced in Photoshop. I am not a fan of changing someone’s face or body dramatically. Retouching normally involves removing skin blemishes, correcting the color, and bringing out the natural beauty of the images.

If you order a framed print or canvas, the images will also be properly enlarged to make sure they don’t look blurry, stretched, or pixellated. You can also order your prints to be in color or black and white.

Can we print our own images?

If you purchase high resolution digital files, you will be able to print your own images. The original digital images will print easily up to A4 or even A3 format.

If you want to print them larger than that, they may have to be properly enlarged to retain sharpness and quality. If you know Photoshop, then this should be no problem for you. Also, for larger images, we do recommend professional printing shops. Your images will look better and they will be printed on much better quality paper.

You can always get me to do the printing for you. Our professional digital lab does the printing on a high quality cotton rag paper and they do framing as well.

How do we order large prints or albums?

You don’t have to order your prints or albums straight away. Contact me at any time after the shoot and let me know what you’d like. I will then process the images again to make sure they have the correct resolution for the enlargements.

I use professional printing and framing company to fulfill the orders. The images will be printed on high-quality fine art cotton rag printing paper. The frames also come with 75 years guarantee.

The albums will be designed by me. I will consult with you on the final draft before I send them to the printers. The common sizes are 6×8″, 8×11″ and 11×14″ or they can be square as well. They come in linen or genuine leather cover.
