One of the things which a Cougar must come to grips with is the fact that her body may not be in the best of shape forever. Try as she might, the cougar is battling against age and gravity. So with this, it comes as no surprise that more cougars are trying what may be their stab at being the model they've always wanted to be.
Enter the world of Budoir Portraiture.
Jean Garcia did it for FHM, and so did Dina Bonnevie. While you may not really land the pages of FHM, Maxim, Uno, or Rogue, bear in mind that a budoir portrait session will be the closest to that same experience.
And why should a cougar have a budoir photo session?
Well, besides giving you an opportunity to be naked in a situation where you would normally be clothed, being photographed naked will yield a souvenir that you can use as inspiration. Even so, it should be as flattering as possible: The idea is to provide a sense of pride and possibility. As a tip, stick to black and white--it’s less distracting than color, and you’ll see fewer irregularities in skin tone--and use soft, diffused light to soften any lumps, bumps, or other imperfections on your skin.
So now that I've mentioned black and white, I am now reminded of what it was like in high school to pose before Toch Arellano. Girl, Toch was the best!
If Toch were still alive today, I'd be sure he'd raise his eyebrows in thinking that the high school seniors of the Bagets era would make a beeline to his studio in Eisenhower St. to have budoir sessions.
In the next post, we'll tell you how to handle yourself in a budoir session.
