Coming to you from boudoir pro Yuliya Panchenko, the free nearly 45-minute video below shares all the tips, tricks and poses to use when capturing intimate images of couples.

She begins the tutorial by discussing outfits and styling. “When I do couples boudoir, I always ask them to bring some stylish outfits,” she explains. “For example, for the girls, I ask to bring an evening gown or a cocktail dress. I prefer them to be with an open back or a very long cut to reveal some of her leg. And, for the guys, dress pants, turtleneck, dress shirt, bow tie, anything that will create that James Bond look. That’s what I usually start from in all my couple’s boudoir sessions.”

Of course, since this is boudoir photography, the clothing comes off after that. “Now let’s talk about the flow. When I photograph couple’s boudoir, we always start with some clothes on and then we continue with some lingerie shots or, for example, him wearing just the dress pants, her wearing lingerie and then just lingerie, just underwear and then I’ll continue with some nude shots, if they really want to.”
