"Elegant, flattering, beautifully lit. Simply Boudoir is back."
More than a decade after its original release, the lessons remain as relevant as ever. Because great portraiture is not just about the equipment. It’s about light. It’s about communication. It’s about trust. And it’s about helping people look and feel their very best in front of the camera.

Bonus chapter
When I was reviewing my archive I stumbled across an extra chapter that didn't make the original production because I lit the shot using flash. I've added that chapter to this Archive Edition.

The original film was shot using a Lupo 1200 HMI Fresnel, a powerful but expensive piece of kit that's now been superseded by a far better option. Today I shoot with the Amaran 200x S, and it outperforms the Lupo in almost every way. It's a third of the price, smaller, lighter, and can run off a battery for location work. When combined with the unique Aputure black dish barn door set the same crisp lighting can be achieved. The lighting principles in this film are easier to achieve with this light than with the one I originally used. If you're looking for an excuse to add something genuinely useful to your kit bag, this is it.

Simply Boudoir was withdrawn from sale several years ago because the Lupo light that I used became no longer available. I now use an LED equivalent and it is more powerful, cheaper and far more convenient than the Lupo HMI. Now I have decided to make Simply Boudoir available once again as an Archive Edition for a new generation.
