In a viral TikTok video, that has amassed over 5.6 million views and 600,000 likes, Tori revealed that she wears lingerie on outdoor boudoir shoots to put her clients at ease.
Thousands of viewers praised Toriâs âgeniusâ clothing choice on shoots â commenting that they would have felt âso much comfortableâ and âconfidentâ if their boudoir photographer had worn lingerie too. âNot a Lot of People Offer Thisâ Tori, who is originally from California, was inspired to start her outdoor boudoir photography company Risq after seeing a gap in the market. Tori realized that there werenât many boudoir photographers catering to people who wanted to do empowering and body-positive shoots outside in nature. âAfter the COVID-19 pandemic, I realised I didnât want to be part of the corporate world anymore and I only wanted to do things that bring me joy,â Tori tells PetaPixel. âI had been doing photography as a hobby for 15 years or so and after the pandemic, I started shooting in nature more. âAround the same time, my friend asked to take some sexy boudoir photos for her boyfriend. I had never done boudoir before, but the shoot was so much fun!
âLater on, my husband and I realized that not a lot of people were offering outdoor boudoir photography. Like 99% of boudoir photographers shoot inside in a studio or a property. âSo we started testing outdoor boudoir shoots out and we absolutely fell in love with the work! âWe loved integrating nature and healing into boudoir photography and empowering people to love their body as it is. âSo my husband and I went all in with the idea of outdoor boudoir photography and founded Risq.â âI Didnât Always Wear Lingerie on Shootsâ While Tori always wears lingerie on shoots now, this wasnât always the case. The photographer tells PetaPixel that she used to wear normal clothes until an experience with a friend on a boudoir shoot.
âI didnât always wear lingerie,â Tori says. âWhen I first started out, I did lots of test boudoir shoots with friends. There was one occasion when my longtime friend got so nervous before her shoot and couldnât relax. âI tried so many strategies until I eventually asked her âWhat do you need from me?â âAnd she just answered: âWell, Iâm the only one dressed like this.â âIt just clicked for me. I had already done some self-portraits in lingerie earlier that day so I changed back into that. âWhen I returned to the shoot, my friendâs demeanor totally changed and she completely relaxed. âIt totally changed the game for the photo shoot, so I started doing it more and more.â
âLingerie is my Uniform Nowâ For outdoor boudoir photo shoots, Tori says that wearing lingerie allows her to be in tune with her clients and their needs. âObviously, a lot of boudoir photographers donât wear lingerie too when theyâre doing a shoot, which totally makes sense! But that creates an imbalance there,â Tori explains. âI wear lingerie so that my clients are not the only ones who are half-naked but also so that weâre both on the same page. Weâre both being vulnerable,â âEspecially on outdoor shoots, it helps me stay in balance with our clients and their needs. âFor example, if itâs snowing outside and theyâre in lingerie, then so am I. So I know if my clients need to take a break or warm up during the shoot. âLingerie is my uniform now!â
