From Art History to Agency: Redefining Boudoir Photography | Mitzi Starkweather

Описание: See Mitzi Starkweather live at Imaging USA 2026!

Boudoir isn’t new—it’s been shaped by centuries of imagery, from Greek myths and Renaissance paintings to Victorian repression, Playboy, and modern media. In this keynote, Mitzi Starkweather (‪@MitziStarkweather‬) unpacks the history of boudoir and shows how understanding its past can transform the way we photograph today.

Thank you‬ ‪@theboudoiralbum9934‬ for partnering with us on this workshop! 🤝

This talk challenges photographers to move from doing boudoir to clients toward creating boudoir with clients—centered on empowerment, collaboration, and agency.
You’ll learn:
• Boudoir’s evolution across 500+ years of art history
• How myths and repression shaped cultural attitudes toward intimacy
• Why empowerment vs exploitation is the key distinction in boudoir
• How to define your own stance and philosophy as a photographer
