Bo***ir photography is not generally a new concept and numerous examples including images of Clara Bow, Mae West and Jean Harlow photographed in a bo***ir style from the 1920s through the 1940s. Typically shot in a photographer's studio or luxury hotel suites, it has become fashionable to create a set of sensual or sexually suggestive images of women (and occasionally men and couples) in "bo***ir
style". The most common manifestation of contemporary bo***ir photography is to take variations of candid and posed photographs of the subject partly clothed or in lingerie. Nudity is more often implied than explicit. Commercially the genre is often (though not exclusively) derived from a market for brides to surprise their future husbands by gifting the images on or before their wedding day. Other motivations or inspiration for bo***ir photography shoots include anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's Day, weight loss regimes, other form of body change or alteration (such as breast augmentation or reduction) and for servicemen and women overseas.[2]
Bo***ir photography may, in some cases, be distinguished from other photography genres such as glamour photography, fine art n**e photography and erotic photography
