Black and White Boudoir Photography Inspiration - St. Louis Boudoir Photographer

When it comes to putting together your boudoir album or designing your boudoir wall art, choosing between color or black and white photos has a huge impact.

Black and white photography can help set the mood, enhance your boudoir session's theme, and add contrast and visual interest to your album. Boudoir photography inspiration can come from many places.

Here's a closer look at all the reasons to love black and white boudoir photography.

Create Moody Boudoir Wall Art

Boudoir wall art is the perfect way to add a personal touch to your bedroom decor. Choosing black and white photos for your canvas prints creates a moody, intimate feel.

Black and white photography also looks good with almost any room decor or color palette. If you want to display your boudoir photos in your home but are worried about color photos clashing with your wallpaper, going black and white with your photos is a great solution.

Give Your Photos a Vintage Feel

Black and white photos feel timeless. If you want your boudoir album to have a classic feel, or if you're doing a vintage-themed shoot, incorporating black and white photos is the way to go.

Especially paired with vintage lingerie and classy accessories, like heels or pearls, strategically selecting black and white photos for your album can help bring your vision for your boudoir shoot to life.

Add Contrast to Your Boudoir Album

Your boudoir album is more than just a reminder of your shoot—it's a work of art all its own. Including a mix of color and black and white photos in your album adds contrast, which helps your images pop.

Part of the boudoir experience at Beauty in Boudoir is your photo reveal, where your photographer will show you all your images. She'll also make suggestions on how to lay out your album and which photos might look best in black and white vs. in color.

Black and White Boudoir Photography Tips

If you think you want to include black and white boudoir photos in your boudoir album, here are a few things to keep in mind going into your shoot:

• Choose lingerie with interesting textures, like lace. Small details like this stand out more in black and white photos.

• Go for a simpler set, like Beauty in Boudoir's classic bedroom set or loft-style window set. Minimalist backgrounds keep you front and center.

• Discuss natural vs. studio lighting with your photographer. Black and white photography gives you the chance to play with light and shadow, and different types of lighting can achieve different effects.
