Boudoir Photography Lighting Workshop

This boudoir photography lighting workshop is designed for photographers who want to learn how to create the moody, sensual, and warm aesthetic that is highly sought after in boudoir imagery.
We’ll break down how to shape light and pose your subject to flatter natural curves, build intimacy, and create emotion in your images. This is a hands-on workshop with live shooting time, guided instruction, and real-world lighting scenarios you can immediately apply to your own work.

The workshop begins with a focused lecture covering lighting fundamentals and posing, followed by live shooting time with our model, Zarina. We’ll work through natural light, LED lighting, and flash, showing how each can be used to create a cohesive boudoir look. The session wraps up with an overview of editing and retouching to help you bring the images across the finish line.

This workshop is ideal for photographers who are new to boudoir as well as those looking to refine their lighting and workflow in a controlled, studio environment.
