Modern Masculinity Captured: The Rise of Male Portrait & Boudoir Sessions

Why Male Portrait & Boudoir Sessions Are on the Rise — And Why It’s Time You Book One

Boudoir photography has long been associated with women—but that’s changing. More and more men are stepping in front of the camera for bold, stylish, and empowering portrait sessions that celebrate who they are—fully clothed, shirtless, or somewhere in between.

At Suzanne Claire Studios, we believe powerful portraiture isn’t gendered. Everyone deserves to feel confident, attractive, and seen—especially men who may have never given themselves permission to experience this kind of spotlight.

It's Not Just About Sexy—It's About Self-Image

Let’s be clear: a male portrait or boudoir session doesn’t have to mean steamy underwear shots (unless that’s what you want). It can be a sharply tailored suit, a simple white tee, a leather jacket, or bare skin with intention and art behind it. It’s about capturing the energy and emotion that make you you.

We style your session based on who you are and how you want to be seen. Whether you’re going for classic GQ, rugged outdoorsman, edgy streetwear, or stripped-down vulnerability, we’ll help you own it.

Why Men Book These Sessions

• To mark a milestone — like a birthday, divorce, body transformation, or personal growth.

• To surprise a partner — with images that are confident, raw, and real.

• To boost self-esteem — and reconnect with their own sense of power.

• To document their story — in a way that feels authentic, not performative.

What to Expect

A male portrait session at our studio is a judgment-free zone. We’ll guide you through posing, wardrobe, and expression, making sure you feel both comfortable and strong. Whether you want magazine-style images, tasteful nudity, or a gritty black-and-white vibe, we create a space where you can relax and fully own your story.

Fully Clothed or Not—It’s Your Call

The beauty of this experience is that it’s yours to define. Want to stay in your favorite jeans and a tee? Great. Prefer a sleek suit with slicked-back hair? Let’s do it. Thinking about a series that shows a softer or more sensual side of yourself? We’ve got you.

This Is Confidence, Captured.

Male boudoir and portrait photography is about more than looking good in a photo. It’s about reclaiming confidence, celebrating identity, and seeing yourself through a new lens—literally and figuratively.

So no, boudoir isn’t “just for women.” It’s for anyone who’s ready to step into the frame and say, “This is me.”
