Fine Art Boudoir?

I really struggle with the term “fine art”

And I really struggle with how it tends to be used in the boudoir community. Why? Well for one, fine art has a bit of a problematic history of who it was defined by, who it was for, and whose bodies were allowed to be “fine art”. But in terms of boudoir think it often is used to describe images that don’t have a sexual component and show a very specific person (this is definitely not universal). It’s fine art boudoir if it’s not sexual.

I see a lot of photographers who call themselves fine art boudoir photographers and then I look at their profiles and the images are of predominately young thin women. As if other bodies can’t be fine art. As if sex can’t also be a beautiful and artistic thing.

I think non sexual nudity is super fucking important. Duh. A lot of my work falls under that category (also instragram is a Victorian lady who thinks it’s scandalous to show an ankle so the sexual photos often don’t get posted). And also I think celebrating ourselves as sexual beings and having the space to also see that is art is also important. So I want to create art that is both. I want you to frolic in the forest and laugh, be completely naked and have it not be sexual at all.  And also, I want to give you the space to be sexual if you want to be. Because that part of you is also devastatingly beautiful. Which is why I offer solo erotica sessions. Sex as art is a beautiful thing.

And fuck society for saying that being sexual makes us attention seekers, sluts, whores, not pure, unclean. It can be the most beautiful thing and we simply don’t see that version in the media. And that is a fucking tragedy.
