- Boudoir started in the 1920’s. During this time nudity in photographs was illegal but, photographers continued to create masterpieces. Throughout the following decades, it evolved. In the 1940’s boudoir became centered around Pin-up girls & they began incorporating props. And again in the 1970’s boudoir photography evolved, making a place for itself in the “art world” & becoming more accepted amongst society. Since then, Boudoir photography has continued to grow, and the taboo it once was is now a thing of the past.
