Boudoir or Burlesque?
What’s your fetish?
Both boudoir and burlesque are not really anything to do with photography as individual words, but the words inevitably conjure up images to the mind, so why shouldn’t they conjure up images in print.
So what’s the difference? dress code, boudoir can now be interpreted as just about anything that implies or gets near to nudity; or in some cases actually nude; burlesque is more about the flamboyant lingerie often associated with the burlesque act, corsets, suspenders, stockings, feathers and fans. Whilst the boudoir style seems to have been dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century with modern props and accessories, burlesque is firmly cemented in history and tradition, the choice of styles as far as photography goes are fully interchangeable.
Oh my god……..the photographers a man! »
