Read on for a curated list of Peerspace venues that are perfect for a male boudoir photoshoot.

1. A bed, bath, and bar photoshoot

The Boudoir Room | Chicago Fashion+Lifestyle Space is described as “the most unapologetically sexy, boudoir space in Chicago. Enter the space through the antique French double doors, into a seductive master suite, complete with a modern bed, bath, rose petals, and a custom bar. As a space specifically designed for seductive photos, the room gives you the intimate seclusion of a private villa, mixed with the vibe of a romance novel”. A sexy male boudoir photoshoot can accentuate the subject’s best qualities if he is relaxed and confident. And that mindset starts with an inviting space and a professional photographer who sets the subject at ease. This allows you to explore male boudoir photo ideas together.

2. A barn photoshoot

The Barn Studio in New Britain, PA is actually a converted barn that has retained a lot of the feel of the original building, including the rough-hewn walls and wide-planked barn floors. With its masculine vibe, it is an excellent venue for exploring male boudoir photo ideas. We can imagine a man styled in a Stetson hat and boots, hunting gear, or even motorcycle gear would work well in this space. As previously mentioned, the Peerspace Concierge can find you a stylist and source any costumes and props you need, even if you need a horse or a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. 

3. A gentleman’s club photoshoot

The West Bottoms Photography Studio in Kansas City, Missouri has dark walls and a masculine vibe that mimics a gentlemen’s club. The space is flooded with natural light from a wall of windows which is perfect for exploring male boudoir photo ideas. I can imagine cigars and bourbon figuring prominently here. The cigar smoke would create an interesting atmosphere as well.

4. A neon Miami photoshoot

This Electric Fun Photography studio in Acworth, Georgia is described as  “super fun and electric! Vibrant colors and also a clean, beautiful, and neutral bedroom space that works perfectly for boudoir sessions. Also a fun neon/Miami vibe couch set.” With all the neon light in this space, I can imagine this male boudoir photoshoot styled in silk leopard print robes or Miami Vice pastels–both would work equally well here.

5. A gritty loft photoshoot

This Industrial Loft in Houston, Texas is sparsely furnished and “features authentic exposed brick walls and a bedroom with a murphy bed”. This gives it a kind of gritty masculine feel that could be styled in a vintage way. Plus, the natural light coming in through large industrial windows is perfect. You can also add a weight bench and free weights to complete this sexy male boudoir photoshoot.

6. A dark and moody photoshoot

The Emerald Fox venue in Denver, Colorado is a minimally furnished bedroom studio set that is described as “dark and moody” with dark walls and black sheets on the bed, giving it a masculine vibe. It is ideal for a male boudoir photoshoot, with large windows letting in lots of natural light.

7. A rustic Canadian photoshoot

This Downtown Studio Loft in Toronto, Canada is described as “rustic and bohemian with hardwood floors and high ceilings”. It is also decorated in earth tones for a masculine feel. With 20 foot ceilings and gigantic windows, the natural light is fantastic. Anything from a lumberjack theme to a cowboy theme would work well here.

8. A light and dark photoshoot

This Light and Dark Loft in Dallas, Texas is a two-room suite. The light-colored living area with off-white couches and a light rug has a wall of windows and is filled with light. Plus, the adjoining dark bedroom has black walls, dark sheets, and a dark green Chesterfield couch, which makes for a very masculine vibe. This photoshoot could be styled both ways, with an “angel” and a “devil” vibe, for two sexy photoshoots in one.

9. An industrial factory photoshoot

This Industrial Studio Space with Boudoir Set in Kansas City, Missouri is described as having “texture for days”. The walls are mottled and unfinished while the gigantic industrial window over the bed is extremely gritty. There is also a loading dock and a freight elevator for more industrial credibility if you’d like to shoot in there. All these details make it a perfect venue for a male boudoir photoshoot.’

10. A Tarzan photoshoot

This venue called BIOPHILIA: Urban Jungle Space in Phoenix, Arizona is absolutely filled from floor to ceiling with living plants. Perhaps a Tarzan-themed photoshoot would work well in this space as there are broad-leafed banana trees on both sides of the large bed.

11. A gothic photoshoot

This Space for Portrait & Beauty Photography in Philadelphia, PA is a former hospital that could be mistaken for a church on the inside. The venue features a bed centered under a stained glass window in a space with a gothic peak to the ceiling. While it may seem taboo to conduct a male boudoir photoshoot in this space, it could be really interesting because of the counterintuitive nature of the space vs. the activity.

12. A Florida penthouse photoshoot

This Downtown Luxury High Rise Apt in Orlando, Florida has floor-to-ceiling windows and a panoramic view of the city. The bedroom is minimally furnished and the bathroom has a spa-style tub. It is the view and the natural light which are the underpinnings of a boudoir photoshoot in this space, making it even more important to pick a strong theme and style it accordingly. A home workout with weights followed by a luxurious bath in the spa tub would work really well here.
