Explaining the boudoir shoot – why we shoot, and how it works

Boudoir photography has gained popularity in recent years as women increasingly seek to capture their sensuality, beauty, and strength through visual imagery. It is a type of photography that is dedicated to capturing the subject’s inner beauty, self-confidence, and power in a sensual and intimate way.

A boudoir shoot is a stunning and empowering experience for women who want to feel confident and strong through photography. It is an opportunity for women to embrace their body and celebrate their unique beauty. A skilled photographer can create a safe and comfortable environment where women can express themselves freely and feel empowered. The Loci Photography boudoir shoot experience makes for something memorable, an unforgettable moment that we capture visually for an extraordinary product.

The shoot typically involves lingerie and underwear, which can make women feel exposed and vulnerable. However, Loci Photography’s expertise and skill in creating a relaxed and non-judgmental atmosphere helps women feel comfortable and confident, allowing them to explore their sensuality and express themselves freely. The studio offers another layer of luxury, giving clients the option to use the studio’s in-house styling- and accessory range.

We arrange all dates according to everyone’s schedule, and I send you directions to the Loci Photography studio, in Pierre van Ryneveld Park, Pretoria.
We meet you at the gate on the date of your shoot, pack out what you brought, see what we’ll start with, and then your hair- and makeup starts.
From there we shoot until your outfit choices are completed. We also use the lovely Nicolassi range as part of your styling.
Your images take about 14-21 working days for completion, unless otherwise arranged. I need this precious time to transform your raw images, into art.

Also, images are part of a closed system, it doesn’t get shared, or is shared with anyone else.
Any books or additional products, can be ordered through the studio, and after sign-off from the client on the design it is sent to print where it is handled by a female printer only, as is my arrangement with my printing company.
After any shoot with a satisfied client, I kindly ask for a review to be left, hence Loci photography’s amazing reviews – a precious asset to the studio.
Any photos that get permission are shared on social media platforms like Pinterest, but no images get shared if the clients isn’t comfortable with the idea.
