5 Reasons to Consider Hiring a Male Boudoir Photographer
Boudoir is an amazing experience. I believe in it to its core. While it is common to have a woman photographer, I want to share a few reasons you should consider hiring a male boudoir photographer for your experience.
1. Men and women typically see women differently. Through a different set of experiences, a different mentality, and a different intent/goals. What men find sexy and what women find sexy are typically different things. A woman might say, "That old tank top? That isn't sexy." But a man might say "I love that tank top on you, when you are casual and walking around the house is when you are sexiest.”
2. I've been told by my clients that are getting these portraits as a gift for their husband, they want a man's opinion and perspective.
In the same vein if I needed to get a gift for my wife, I would probably ask a woman for advice too.

3. A common consensus is that it can be easier for a woman to show her sexy side in front of the camera with a male photographer because it's a dynamic they are somewhat familiar with. Women are very critical of other women, and they will sometimes cloud their honest opinion with their own vanity. (There cannot be two queens in this castle!)
4. Publications like Playboy, FHM, Maxim, and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit are mostly shot by male photographers. Boudoir as an industry is seeing more women photographers because of the perception that the client and her spouse will feel more comfortable if they are shot by a woman. Know that both male and female photographers are focusing on posing, lighting, emotion and experience. We are really not looking at 'you' but at creating the best images for you. I promise you will have a comfortable, fun and professional experience.
5. Find the photographer who makes you feel accepted, sexy, and with a style you can't resist. They will leave you on cloud 9 reminding you that you are beautiful, powerful, sexy and special. The photographer should be the best at their craft and make you feel relaxed and above all, comfortable.
