The Boudoir Edit

The Boudoir Edit is a Banbury‑based portrait studio that treats every portrait session as a personal, luxury experience. Led by multi‑award winning photographer David Bostock (FRPS, FBIPP, FMPA), the studio specialises in professional portraits and headshots designed to make you look confident, approachable and utterly yourself. Why choose The Boudoir Edit for your portrait? David’s specialist training and three Fellowships reflect a deep technical mastery of light, composition and retouching. That expertise translates into images that flatter real people—whether you want a relaxed LinkedIn headshot, a signature personal portrait, or a business portrait that communicates professionalism and warmth. The studio’s style favours natural and diffused light, clean posing and tasteful retouching to deliver portraits that feel timeless rather than trendy. What makes the approach special is the combination of craft and care. Sessions are tailored around you: a pre‑shoot conversation helps establish the mood and wardrobe, and we work through gentle styling and posing so even camera‑shy clients feel at ease. David’s unobtrusive, encouraging direction and an emphasis on flattering angles means clients leave feeling reassured as well as looking great. The experience is personal and unhurried—The Boudoir Edit deliberately limits the number of sessions each week to ensure every client receives focused attention. How we work: expect calm, professional guidance from the moment you enquire. We discuss the look you want, prepare a simple plan, and use soft, natural light and proven posing to create your best images. For clients who want a polished result for business profiles or corporate use, David applies subtle finishing and delivers images that work across print and online platforms. David’s background in wedding and portrait work gives him an excellent eye for emotion and character, but his primary focus at The Boudoir Edit is portraiture. Based in Banbury, we welcome clients from across the region seeking professional headshots, LinkedIn photos and personal portraits with a refined, flattering aesthetic. If you’re looking for a portrait studio that blends technical excellence with a relaxed, confidence‑building experience, The Boudoir Edit is designed for you.
