Dudoir: Win a Boudoir Photography Experience for Men

It's a longstanding assumption that women worry more about their appearance than men, but a recent study reveals that this isn't the case.

Results show that 4 out of 5 men discuss body image on a regular basis, and more than 60% are not entirely satisfied with the way they look. With a third of men using a protein supplement and almost 20% of men thinking about their weight every day, it's clear that men worry too.

Most guys admitted to wishing they had a more muscular physique, and a staggering 35% of men said they would give up a whole year of their life to achieve their ideal body shape! However, nearly 60% of men said that body talk affected them in a negative way, and in some cases the knock on confidence actually deterred them from joining a gym or working towards a healthier lifestyle.

With results like these it seems clear that men are in dire need of a confidence boost, and what better way than a light-sculpting photoshoot designed specifically for them? Read on to find out more…

Working under the name Divine Divas, Spirit Photographic have offered a confidence-boosting photoshoot experience for women for several years with huge success. Realising that the current boudoir package didn't cater for men, they decided to do something about it. The result is 'Dudoir': a male equivalent to women's boudoir photography.

Globally, more and more women are treating themselves to boudoir photoshoots in order to feel sexier and more confident. With many commenting on the instant and long-lasting boost to their self-esteem, it's no wonder that boudoir photography has become so popular. Not only do you get treated like royalty for a day but you also get the opportunity to see yourself through someone else's eyes, which can be life-changing. Plus, if you decide to keep any of the photos, you'll have a life-long reminder of your day, and how great you feel when you're 'at the top of your game'. Tap into this feeling for an instant confidence boost in everyday life and walk tall wherever you go. Whether it's to the office, the park or pub - you should always strut with pride!

Thanks to the creation of Dudoir, there is now a readily attainable, potentially life-changing package available to men everywhere. Completely tailored to suit you, your visit includes a personalised consultation, a professional grooming session and a light-sculpting photoshoot specifically designed to highlight your best bits. To top it all off you'll be greeted with a free glass of bubbly, and will have the opportunity to browse your final photos and purchase any favourites!

Neill Menneer (CEO and Chief Photographer) says:

"In a growing image conscious world, why should men not have the chance to show off their masculinity in the same way women show off their femininity? We've been running our own Divine Divas Boudoir experience for many years with spectacular success and wanted to do something similar with a twist for men. Our approach is about showing men at their best and valuing their difference by enhancing their expression of it."
