Male Boudoir
B
lack men typically don’t do boudoir experiences for a myriad of reasons. The reasons are very similar to those of Black women.Feeling self-conscious about their bodies.The weight of not knowing what people will think. Sometimes even shame.The added bonus for men is that a boudoir experience is not something a “real man” would do. The only caveat is if his partner wanted to do a couple’s experience, but never by himself.
Boudoir is for ALL bodies just as they are. It is an expression of love for yourself. A way to capture a moment in time when you felt most connected with your body. When you were brave and vulnerable.I hope to be able to capture more stories of our men.I may have to start the Negus project back up. For this project I gave my brothers the space to tell their stories about being a Black men in America.

I guide Black women in loving and honoring their bodies as they are now through boudoir photography in my female lead private Maryland studio.
