There’s a moment most people don’t talk about. You look at yourself and realize time is moving. Not in a dramatic way. Just quietly. And you wonder what you’ll look like in ten years.
Or what you look like right now…to someone else. So you consider taking a few pictures of yourself, or having a professional take a few pictures of you.
Why People Do This
Some do it for a partner. A gift that’s more personal than anything you can buy. Some do it for themselves. Because they’ve never really seen themselves this way before. Some do it because they know this version of them won’t last forever.
You will never look this way again. Facts.
This Isn’t About Perfection
To get some pics done, you don’t need to be a model. You don’t need experience. You don’t need to “be confident” before you show up. That part usually happens during the shoot. Just be yourself. That’s who we want to photograph.
What It Feels Like
Honestly, most people are not very nervous at first. It’s a big deal, but it’s not, around me. I’m super chill and it’s not some big fake production. It’s just you, some light, and I’m there to photograph it.
I keep it simple:
- controlled lighting
- a quiet environment (sorry for the Aurora music, I really dig her, unless it’s a radical shoot…then I go Rihanna, Beyonce, T-Pain, Daja Cat, and Britney, obviously.)
- there’s no rush
- there’s no pressure
- we figure out how to make bad-ass images together
To be honest, if I was to say that my work is not about pushing your limits, I’d be telling a lie. FACT: 100% of the Boise photographers out here are in this industry are here to make a lot of money. Not because taking photographs of women is hard, but because they either want to take financial advantage of women’s insecurity or they are capitalizing on the fact that there are very few photographers in the zone that have the equipment, education, and couth to do it right. Here in the West, insecurity about being nude comes from some bullshit puritan conspiracy that tells us that women…nevermind, you’ll figure it out. Boise boudoir and glamour photographers are trying to sell you this or that photo package as an experience. Are they fucking serious? Seems demeaning to me to buy your own birthday cake. When you have to PAY for a few photographs, and you have to PAY for some kind of experience, capitalism has commercialized, branded, and commodified your essence.
I’m not here for money or to give you a boudoir experience, I’m here to help you discover your own limits, photographically, and to make your jealous girlfriends say “Oh My Fucking God.” I’m literally here for the art. I’ll give you posing options and reasons to be a baddass in front of my camera. You’ll love some of the photographs we create together, and some we’ll delete. I’ve been around a while, and I’ve photographed a lot of lovely women. Starting in 2026 and going into 2027, I’m interested in pushing your photographic boundaries and I’d like to start creating epic images that make people say “Holy Fuck.”
You need to know what’s possible so that you can decide how you want to come out in the images. I’m the photographer your mother warned you about, and I can help you get the pictures you want, however the fuck you want them. I’m not in this for sex or fame or ego, and definitely not for money. My work is free. Or, you can go pay someone $1500 for a few pictures that were filtered and Photoshopped the hell out of.
Serious as a heart attack, I see a MASSIVE trend happening in the woman’s power space, and I want to photograph the “I Have Arrived” side of it. I’m a photographer, a kind of light poet. I’m not a historian or documentarian, but that’s where this is going. I can’t fully explain what I see coming in this space and (probably) neither can you, but we all see it happening (and if you don’t, or if you have no idea what I’m talking about, please hit your BACK button to return to safety). This is a time when women, for the first time ever, economically and otherwise, have as much power as men. It’s a big fucking deal. The trend of female creator-authorship and vetted knowledge-skill ramping up is NOT a fluke or accident. It is what happens when you pull the stops and let things run unhindered and naturally. We are in this period of time when powers are equal.
We were born with Likes, so let’s use them.
My Approach
I don’t overcomplicate things.
I focus on:
- light
- shape
- mood
- timing
Nothing forced. Nothing overproduced. Just honest images that feel like you.
For You, Or For Someone Else, and Consent
You can keep the photos private, but I want your okay to use a few select anonymous photos that we agree on for my portfolio. Deal? That’s my currency.
There’s no right reason to do this, and there’s no wrong reason. Everyone has their own life experiences, and that’s what goes into every decision we make. If you’re not sure about posing in front of me nude, then this isn’t for you right now. It’s for a you in 20 years. Do not, under any circumstances, do anything you’re not 100% comfortable with. If you don’t trust someone, don’t hang with them.
What can we do together?
At some point, everyone looks back and wishes they had more photos of themselves. Not posed. Not filtered. Just real. I can photograph that. And I can capture images of you that are posed and have AI all over it. It’s up to you, but if you’re not sure, there’s a sweet little coffee shop on the Greenbelt that we can meet at to build a plan together. The crazy thing? I can do it for free. This is my fucking hobby. This is my art. This is my contribution. I’m not selling anything. If you’re interested, let’s meet for coffee up at Quinn’s Pond or something. I’m a super chill and informal old guy.
If You’re Thinking About It
You don’t have to decide everything right now. You don’t have to know exactly what you want. If you’re even a little curious, that’s enough. Reach out and we’ll keep it simple.
Boise Nude & Intimate Photography
I created Badboy.Photography because I love photography and videography, and most of all, I love the human condition, the human form, and the boldness that is who we really are. I’m not fiddling much with boudoir–I’m way more serious than that–but if it’s boudoir you want, you’ll get it with a spin of unapologetic imagery that your friends will never forget. I have the guts to do what nobody else is willing to do: offer nude and intimate photography in Boise ranging from simple, tasteful, and honest images, to raw, striking, and sexually evocative statements that people can’t ever unsee.
Sessions are private, low-pressure, and built around comfort—whether you’re creating something personal, meaningful, or just for yourself. I’m ultra-low-key-chill.
Pick the shoot location or let me give you a set of options.
I’m ultra off the radar and private. And I’m free. If you’re curious, reach out to me and share with me your top secret objectives and ideas. I’ll take it from there.
Why I do it
I’m getting old. I’m a seasoned photographer and videographer. I’m building out my last hobby and creative outlet. This is my last stand, creatively. I want to build my final portfolio, and it won’t be mild like the rest of my life’s work. If you’re interested in helping each other, let’s go.
