I’m beyond excited to have Shawn Black on The Profitable Photographer. Shawn is a powerhouse in the world of boudoir photography. He is based in Boston, Massachusetts, and is an international award-winning photographer, educator, and president of AIBP (Association of International Boudoir Photographers)

His mantra? #BeBoldBeSexyBeYou—with an emphasis on being unapologetically yourself.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Shawn’s “why” for creating empowering boudoir experiences.

• How his colorblindness influences his signature bold, contrasty lighting style

• The evolution of boudoir photography into a more inclusive art form.

• The importance of mentorship, learning, and community for photographers.

• His tips on posing—making clients look (and feel) like superstars.

• The journey from a high-powered career to weddings, and finally, his true passion: boudoir.

His journey is as inspiring as his work, offering valuable insights for photographers who want to create art that uplifts and empowers.
