5 Reasons to Consider Hiring a Male Boudoir Photographer
Boudoir is an amazing experience. I believe in it to its core. While it is most 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 that since my clients are getting these portraits as a gift for their husband, they want a man's opinion and perspective.
Me: “Which pictures do you want in your gift album?”
Her: “You pick them out since you are a guy, you will know what he likes more than I will!”
In the same vein if I needed to get a gift for my girlfriend 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 its a dynamic they are somewhat familiar with.
4. Playboy, FHM, Maxim, and Sports Illustrated Swim Suit are mostly shot by male photographers. Boudoir as an industry is dominated by 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. 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 comfortable above all.
Hi, I’m Jerry. I’m a lifelong art nerd who fell in love with Photoshop back when I was a teenager arguing about fonts and color theory with my friends from Ringling School of Art and Design. Creativity has always been my language. Over the years I’ve worked everywhere from pirate ships to dolphin tours, documenting moments, telling stories through images, and connecting with people from all walks of life.
Photography has taken me down many paths—social media work, real estate shoots, high-end property photography—but something was always missing. People liked the photos, sure… but they weren’t valuing the art. They were valuing the product. The house. The sunset. Not the image itself.
That changed the day I photographed my first boudoir session.
I watched someone look at a portrait of themselves—truly see themselves—and fall in love. Not with the lighting or the framing… but with who they were in that moment. They held those images like something precious, something worth keeping forever. That feeling made everything click for me.
Boudoir isn’t about voyeurism. It’s about empowerment, art, trust, and transformation. My job isn’t to “take pictures of women”—it’s to create an environment where you feel safe, respected, celebrated, and seen. I approach every session with the same care I bring to any piece of art: attention to detail, emotional connection, and genuine respect for the person in front of my lens.
You’re not just another subject to me—you’re a collaborator in creating something meaningful.
My goal is simple: to show you the beauty everyone else already sees in you, and to give you images you’ll cherish long after the session is over.
