We’ve been asked, “What’s the difference between pin up photography and boudoir?” WHAT IS BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY? When looking at boudoir portraits they’re a bit more “risque” in nature, and usually kept a bit more private. Boudoir allows you to show your sultry, sexy side, showcasing intimacy usually with a little bit of class. What we’ve discovered over the years is that an alternative side which is more bold pops out from the individual and giving the client a confidence booster in the process. With boudoir photos everything is tailored to your own comfort level. PIN UP PHOTOGRAPHY HISTORY Dating back to the 1900’s, pin up style was meant to be fun and a bit flirtacious. Pin ups are intended for informal display, they are meant to be “pinned up” on walls and be admired. GI’s kept them on hand when overseas, especially during WWII which the government used to boost morale of the service men at war. The pin up photography was meant to show the armed forces that the girls waiting for them were worth fighting for. These photos were found inside barracks, hung up in submarines and tucked into soldiers’ pockets. Eventually the images left the bunkers and entered into day to day advertising in the 50’s.
