Even with nothing on

Even with nothing on

Celebs make it look like fun. Mindy Kaling and Ranveer Singh, Martha Stewart and Jennifer Aniston have bared it all... could you?

For most of us, a magazine cover isn't really on the list of #goals. (Do you want vegetable oil smeared on your legs?). But artful nudes are another matter.

Boudoir photography can be empowering and exciting. At its heart, it is the opposite of the magazine shoot; its aim is to please just one viewer, you; and maybe one or more that you show the images to.

It's about asking and answering the question: How comfortable are you, really, in your own skin? It's an intimate exercise.

Choosing the right photographer is vital, and a growing number have built bodies of work, and reputations, in this niche. As with any deeply personal service - wedding planning, spa days, a bikini wax discussions over what one is looking for, and comfortable with, shape the event.
