6 Ideas for Outdoor Boudoir Photography

Most boudoir photography is taken inside because, let’s face it, that’s where the bed is. It is easy to dress up a staged bedroom to fit any theme. Additionally, the conditions can be controlled. Lighting will be perfect. However, outdoor boudoir gives photographers something that indoors cannot offer.

Outdoor boudoir photography brings out the untamable and the natural, the hardened beauty of the elements. The outdoors offers unique settings that are too complex to be mimicked in a studio, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be altered to capture a theme. We can make the outdoors our canvas, and use the elements to display you in all of your sexiness.

Outdoor boudoir is very different from indoor boudoir, and it is important to consider what your goal of the session is and how you want to be represented. Below are some ideas for inspiration.

Sultry Beach

The beach offers both the land and the sea to help you bring out your sultry side. A boudoir shoot at the beach can incorporate many elements and even outfit choices.

Sexy Sirens

In the movie Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?, there is a scene where three sexy sirens are cleaning their laundry in the river. The entire scene screams boudoir. In Greek mythology, sirens lured sailors to their death with their beautiful singing, which caused them to crash their ships into the rocks. They are beautiful, sexy, and dangerous. Boudoir shoots could feature water scenes and dangerous emotions while bringing in the beauty of the outdoors.

Fun in the Flowers

Wide open fields of flowers or even grass can make for excellent boudoir shots. In some cases, furniture can be placed in the field to create a contrast that adds a creative touch to the scene.

Feisty in Fire

You have to have the right location to have a real fire, but it can provide light that is incredible and flattering to the female figure. There’s no reason to keep it all natural. Incorporate some firefighter gear! Fire can be inserted into boudoir in many ways.

Sunset Bliss

Nothing says intimate like a good sunset! The warm tones of the sun on your skin make for the perfect lighting. This one is all about timing, but the great thing is it can be done in almost any outdoor location.

Love in the Moonlight

A moonlight kiss is traditional romanticism, and lingerie looks good in the moonlight. Pair it with white stockings or fair skin, and you have a recipe for beautiful boudoir.
