Interview With John Cleary One of England’s Top Boudoir Photographers
An interview with John Cleary from JC Boudoir
Why do your clients pick you?
We go out of our way to make the whole session a great experience; no two sessions are ever the same because we take time to understand our client’s motivation for doing boudoir and try to build a theme around that whenever possible. On the day, we greet our clients with a warm smile and a glass of fine champagne on arrival, we recognise that it’s probably the scariest thing that they’ve ever done and we work hard to alleviate any nerves before we start the photography session. Our hair and makeup artist is very good at putting them at their ease as we transform them ready for their session. Once the photography starts we like to have a bit of a laugh to break any initial tension and I find our clients usually relax into it fairly quickly. We never forget that our clients aren’t models and so don’t know what to do, I usually demonstrate the poses for them first which is usually enough to keep the laughter flowing.
