Body Confidence Photography


For everyone who’s ever thought, “I could never do a shoot like that.”

Hi, I’m Doug, and I shoot real people doing boudoir their way, right here in London. Women, men and couples welcome.

What does a Glow Boudoir shoot mean for you?

Just You, Thanks

You don’t need to change a single thing before you do a boudoir shoot with us. No crash diets, no practising sexy faces in the mirror, no “finding your confidence” first. You show up, we make it fun, and together we create something that actually feels like you, not some Pinterest version of you.

What Do I Do With My Hands?!

If you’re worried you’ll freeze in front of the camera like a confused flamingo, then relax. You don’t need to know how to pose. That’s our job, and we’ll guide you the whole time with clear directions (and probably a few terrible jokes). Music will be playing, snacks will be nearby, and you’ll forget you were ever nervous.

Before We Shoot

We’ll have a proper chat before we schedule a shoot. Think: planning the vibe, talking outfits, picking a location, and figuring out what you want your photos to feel like. We’ll make a plan so you’re not just winging it, and so we’re not suggesting fishnets and leather jackets when you were thinking cosy jumpers and tea. Or vice versa!

Boundaries Are Sexy

This experience is built on mutual respect. If something needs fixing during the shoot (like a tag showing or a strand of hair gone rogue) we’ll ask before touching anything. No surprises and no weirdness. And if it helps you feel more comfortable, you’re absolutely welcome to bring a hype friend to cheer you on from the sidelines. We love a supportive sidekick.

And your privacy? Locked down. Your photos and personal info aren’t going anywhere unless you’ve said, loud and clear, that you’re happy with it.

Hair & Makeup (Optional)

If you want a stylist, we’ve got one on standby for an extra fee. But honestly? We’re not into over-the-top glam; the less we add the more you come through... and that’s kind of the point. That said, if you’re feeling a red lip and smoky eye moment then we’ll absolutely roll with it.

Photoshop? Nah.

We’re not in the business of shrinking thighs or airbrushing skin. We’ll tidy up things like a spot that showed up uninvited or a bruise from walking into a stop sign (we’ve all been there). But we’re not changing your body. That’s not our vibe. You’re already enough.

Your Photos, Your Way

When your shoot’s done, you’ll get to view your images and then pick how you want your photos served up:

  • Fancy high-res digital files
  • Gorgeous prints that make you do a double take
  • Luxe photo albums that’ll make your ex jealous (kidding… kind of)
