BOUDOIR PORTRAIT FREQUENTLY ASK QUESTIONS | 影個人寫真最常見的問題

什麼是Boudoir Portrait Photography ?

• Boudoir 中文意思是性感閨房私密照，是一種個人寫真，源自西方現在已經十分流行，目的是記錄美好的身段作回憶或禮物送給自己或者未婚夫。亦有些是wedding bridal boudoir主題，婚紗配上性感內衣造型作結婚記念。

What is Boudoir Portrait Photography?

• Boudoir in Chinese means a private photo of a sexy boudoir. It is a kind of personal photo. It is very popular in the West. It aims to record a good figure for memories or gifts for yourself. There are also wedding bridal boudoir themes, wedding dresses with sexy lingerie to make a wedding anniversary.

Are you the photographer? Will any men be present?
Paulstylist is a man photographer, and my assistant is a woman. I hear from a lot of clients the first question their significant other asks is “who took these?!”

Do you offer on-location hair and makeup?
My packages include professional hair and make-up artist. Know that your hair and make-up are as important to me as they are to you. My professional MUA will talk to you about a look that is just right for your photographs. We want you to love the way you look, whether it’s a “natural” or “dramatic” look.

I do not look like the women on your website. Is a shoot for me?
Yes! The women you see on my website are just everyday women and are not models. My photo shoots are for every woman, every shape, size, color, age and etc… You are beautiful just the way you are and I want to prove it to you.

Do you provide lingerie for the shoot?
It is best for you to bring items of your own because they will fit you best. I highly recommend you try on all your items pre-shoot to ensure they fit you well. Clothing that is too tight or too loose cannot be photoshopped. I will give you a suggested list of items to bring. You should bring more items than we will use so I can do a wardrobe consultation with you to choose 2-3 outfits for the session.

Do you shoot in studio or on location? And is there an additional location fee?
I shoot at my studio. It makes my photography stand out above the rest and gives you a huge variety in looks. clients can pick location you wants such as hotels, beautiful private properties, and other select locations. There is no additional location fee unless is far location not close to MTR.

I do not know how to pose. Will you help with that?
I will show you all the sexy poses, so don’t worry about “modeling.” I know this kind of shoot can be intimidating, but I promise it will be fun and easy. By the end of the shoot, you will feel like a celebrity. All of the women on my website are real clients, not models so you can see the transformation of a girl next door to sexy vixen.

Will my photos be on your website?
I do not share any client images without written permission. I understand some women have careers or community commitments that keep them from being able to share images. I respect your privacy and will only share images if you wish.

Do you retouch the images?
Yes, retouching is included. At the session, I will show you a demo on my iPad of what retouching is about. Basic retouching is included; stuff like cellulite, blemishes, and skin-smoothing is included. Extensive retouching, such as Photoshop magic to make you lose 20 pounds, is an additional charge because of how much time it takes. If you have a specific retouching question please whatsapp me and I will be happy to answer it for you.

How long does the session take?
The session takes about 1.5 hours. I know, it a perfect time for everyone!

Do you provide Champagne or alcohol to calm my nerves?
Unfortunately, my insurance does not allow me to serve alcohol. Also, state laws prohibit a business to serve alcohol without a license. But you are welcome to bring alcohol with you. We can use it as a photo prop too.

May I bring a friend to my shoot?
A female friend can join you while you have hair and makeup done but once we start shooting they will need to leave or wait in the car. I shoot 360 so it is difficult to keep moving someone out of the background. I promise I will help you will feel confident and relaxed for your session.

Do you provide props?
I can provide a few statement necklaces, I have several veils I can provide in case you do not have one yet. You are welcome to bring small props.

What should I wear?
I have a BEAUTY GUIDE I will send to you upon booking. It includes many great tips and wardrobe suggestions for your session, plus it answers questions you may have not thought of. I also have several blog posts on what to wear.
