Today on The Profitable Photographer, I’m hanging out with Jason Guy, and super successful boudoir photographer based in Sonoma, California.
He has spent the last ten years photographing women in a way that’s honest, empowering, and beautifully lit. He says his job is showing clients what they look like from their best angles—but what I loved is hearing how his clients ended up changing him. From health to aging, they taught him to see bodies (including his own) with a lot more respect and curiosity.
This was one of those easy, meaningful conversations—the kind where you’re talking shop, but you’re also talking about life.
In this episode, we talk about:
- How he found his way into photography and why boudoir became both his creative playground and a smart business move
- What years of photographing women taught him about confidence, bodies, health, and aging (spoiler: it’s not about perfection)
- Why boudoir is the ultimate training ground for posing, lighting, and sculpting the body in flattering, human ways
- How he helps clients relax fast and feel comfortable, seen, and even excited once the camera comes out
