Boudoir Poses
by Alexandra Vince
Hello I'm photographer Alexandra Vince, FYEO Portraits is my little studio. Back in 2002 I began my passion for helping women to grow in body confidence. It took 2 years for me to perfect, today these are my signature boudoir poses.
Your photographer will guide you into flattering boudoir poses here at FYEO Portraits®
Flirty boudoir poses
Everything this model is doing has been directed by her female photographer. From the position of her legs to the way she is holding her hands.
Curve creating
Lifint and arching the back can help to create more curves.
Artistic shapes
Artisitic boudoir poses are often tight crops. This model has been directed to push her shoulders back for more definition.
Slimming boudoir poses
The combintaion between arching the back and the leg positions in this picture help to create a 'curvy / slim' shape.
The secret to great boudoir poses is all in the detail.
Every small movement makes a huge difference.
Professional equipment
Our professional studio equipment helps to give you the best result from your photoshoot here at FYEO.That's because of the quality of the images, the lenses, and the connection between the camera and the studio lighting.
The studio is entirely black and has a professional lighting rig. These carefully designed elements help me to create beautiful, artistic boudoir portraits, sculpting the body, creating highlights and shadows for my signature look - classy, sexy, powerful and dynamic. Don't take my word for it, check out the reviews page.
Boudoir poses platform
I use my Body Sculpting Platform for sitting, laying down, kneeling and crawling poses. You can view examples of these poses in the Gallery.
The firm base enables the best posture from any body, elevated from the floor, which is where I get my perfect camera angles.
My Body-sculpting platform enables clients of all sizes a solid base from which to get into the most flattering poses.
I have never asked a client to lay on the floor because I feel it’s a bit degrading to lay on the floor.
It's a boudoir poses workout...
A bit like yoga-meets twister!
When you’re being photographed here in the FYEO studio you’re shown how to get into each of our boudoir poses by your female photographer. Around 30 boudoir poses are created in each photoshoot session.

About our boudoir poses
At For Your Eyes Only Portraits people learn to love their bodies by seeing themselves in our boudoir poses. We crank up the confidence like nobody’s business. We unlock and tap into the reserves of energy, enthusiasm, and love… I call it POWERTOGRAPHY!
Powertography isn’t just about those jaw-dropping images that come out of a boudoir photography session, it’s about the whole thrilling journey. From striking those fierce boudoir poses to the exhilarating feeling of exposing your true self in these power stances, it's an experience like no other. It works like magic on the mindset offering the chance for a real transformation.
Sometimes I am credited as a trailblazer – leading the way at the forefront of this photography phenomenon that has become an industry of its own. On my better days, I accept that, and it’s motivated me to become a coach, teaching other photographers how to help women enjoy this transformative experience.
It's been nothing short of amazing to see the life-changing magic that For Your Eyes Only has brought to over 20,000 people in the UK. The inspiring stories, the powerful incredible people I have met, the souls I have seen bared in front of me, the beautiful bodies I have been lucky enough to witness and worship! I am extremely blessed. As a boudoir coach on boudoir poses, it's my mission to lend a hand to an industry that's in my heart.
Why our boudoir poses work
I guide customers through a sequence of my power boudoir poses with precise, confident and swift direction. These therapeutic boudoir poses work… They signal empowerment from body to mind, cultivating a more positive and happy connection. And as I instruct with authority and enthusiasm, I can see body language shift.
The boudoir poses involve lifting, arching and moving shoulders and limbs into strong shapes. While posing, I purposefully draw attention to what-I-call ‘neutral’ body parts like her knee or foot, to shift focus away from nudity and to help people stay calm. I can see people bonding with their body, reclaiming the connection, admiration and love they have for it deep down. It’s tangible. It’s powerful. It’s one of the real joys of doing what I do.
The transformative journey that people go through inside the boudoir studio helps people develop a more positive connection between body and mind. The brave steps people take to book the shoot and turn up alone took one out of ones comfort zone and gives back control. Gently moving your body into my powerful body postures looks and feels sensational. The rewards are feelings of pride, love and admiration. You learn how to embrace your body and reconnect with your femininity. Wow!
Supporting you on your journey of self-discovery and healing is a privilege. Witnessing the transformation brings me immense joy. As a photographer, I get so much back from helping people live their lives in a happier head space.
Britain's first ever boudoir poses studio
After launching in 2002, Buckinghamshire-based boudoir photography studio FYEO Portraits became the first studio in the country to offer feminine portraiture to the general public. 20 years later, the female-focused business has grown into a pioneering brand that has forever changed the face of the photography industry.
Despite women making up over 75% of photography students, they only make up around 15% of professional photographers. When the FYEO Portraits studio first opened its doors in 2002, the photography industry was entirely male dominated, and glamour or boudoir photography was only available to models and celebrities. FYEO founder Alexandra Vince (50) says:
“Glamour and boudoir photos were taken by men for men, and women were bombarded with imagery of models in magazines that were tailored for the male gaze. Our beauty standards
were being set by men when we should have been setting them ourselves - there was a huge gap in the market for empowering feminine portraiture for housewives, for mums - for all women”.
Celebrating 20 years of empowering women across the country
Since opening her studio doors 20 years ago, Alexandra and her all-female team of photographers have photographed over 20,000 women, and struck a chord with women all over the country by providing them with a safe, empowering environment to take boudoir photos without oversexualisation.
“We work with women aged between 35 and 85 and
I’ve photographed women of all different shapes, sizes
and backgrounds. One thing that’s stayed consistent over the years with my clients is that past
relationships or comments from partners have chipped away at their confidence and created issues with their body image. But with us it’s not about looking good for men - we facilitate women owning their sexuality and reconnecting with their femininity and it gives them a fresh perspective on who they are. A lot of people come to us feeling insecure and nervous about their bodies but we provide them with a safe and empowering atmosphere, and always see them grow into the experience and leave feeling powerful and beautiful”.
