A Little Confidence. A Lot of Possibility.
Some people arrive knowing exactly what they want to create. Others simply know they'd love some beautiful photographs of themselves.
Either way, you're in the right place.
I offer private, professionally guided boudoir photography in Johannesburg, with each session tailored to your personality, comfort and ideas. From something beautifully understated to something considerably more adventurous, we'll work out what feels right for you.
You don't need to know how to pose. That's my job.

Build Your Own Boudoir Experience
Four packages are a useful starting point. But perhaps you'd prefer to make your own rules.
Choose the photography time, number of professionally finished images, studio settings and any extras you'd like.
We'll put together an experience that suits your ideas and budget, rather than asking you to fit neatly into a box.
Tell me what you have in mind, and I'll prepare a personalised quotation.
Don't Just Take My Word for It.
It's one thing for me to tell you what the experience is like. It's quite another to hear it from someone who's actually been here.
“Very professional and kind. Peter helps you relax and actually enjoy the session. This was my first experience, but it went fabulously.”
“What an experience!!! I felt 100% comfortable with Peter, enjoyed all of his creative ideas and had so much fun.”
“The studio felt welcoming and elegant, and Peter made me feel completely comfortable and confident throughout.”
Genuine client feedback. You can read more about their experiences on Google.
The Same Care. Whatever You Choose.
Whether we're photographing for half an hour or an entire afternoon, there are a few things I never compromise on.
Complete Privacy
Your session takes place in a private Johannesburg studio. Your photographs are never published without your written permission.
Personal Guidance
I'll guide you through the photography, from lighting and posing to the smallest details. You don't need previous experience.
Professional Retouching
Your selected photographs receive individual attention, including colour, light, skin and the finishing details that matter.
Your Own Style
Understated, elegant, playful or more artistic. We plan your experience around what appeals to you and what feels comfortable.
Your Content. Your Audience. Your Rules.
Whether you're building a modelling portfolio, developing your personal brand or creating exclusive photography for a subscription platform, professional imagery can make a considerable difference.
I work with established and emerging models, influencers and content creators, including clients producing content for OnlyFans, Fansly and similar platforms.
From elegant glamour and lingerie to more adventurous artistic concepts, we'll plan a session around your audience, your creative ideas and your personal boundaries.
Need fresh content regularly? We can also discuss ongoing photography arrangements tailored to your requirements.
Hair, Makeup and a Little Extra Polish
There's something rather lovely about arriving for a photography session and having somebody else take care of the finishing touches. Professional styling can be arranged where it isn't already included in your package.
Professional Makeup
Professional makeup at the studio before your photography session begins.
Professional Hairstyling
Professional hairstyling at the studio before your photography begins.
Another Makeup Look
Change your look during your session with a second professionally created makeup style.
Another Hairstyle
A second professionally styled look during your photography session.
A Little Advance Planning
Our makeup artists and hairstylists are independent specialists, so please try to book 2–3 weeks in advance. Good makeup artists are rather like good restaurants on a Saturday night. Booking early is advisable.
Left it a little late? Do ask. Sometimes we can arrange a stylist at short notice.
Styling is subject to availability and is arranged separately from your photography time.
What happens if a confirmed stylist becomes unavailable?
First, we'll do our best to arrange a suitable replacement. If that's not possible, you can postpone your photography session to a mutually available date or proceed without the affected styling service.
If you choose to proceed, you'll receive a credit equal to the value of the unavailable styling service, redeemable against additional professionally retouched photographs. This also applies when styling is included in your package.
Any applicable refund or other statutory rights remain unaffected. Fortunately, this hasn't happened yet. But I prefer having a Plan B before Plan A decides to take an unexpected holiday.
Sometimes One Idea Leads to Another.
More photographs, another look, a little extra time or something more artistic. Sometimes the best part of an idea is discovering where else it can go.
Additional Finished Photographs
Choosing your favourites can be surprisingly difficult. Particularly when there are more favourites than you expected.
Add more individually retouched photographs to your finished collection.
Prices apply to additional finished photographs, not revisions to images already delivered.
Better Together
Some photographs are about you. Others capture the chemistry between two people.
Bring your partner into your boudoir experience for portraits ranging from quietly intimate to beautifully artistic.
Every finished photograph receives careful attention to both people, from lighting and skin tones to the finer details.
Photographed within your booked session time. Additional photography time and partner styling are arranged separately.
Fine Art Bodyscapes
Sometimes the most interesting photograph is the one that doesn't reveal everything.
Fine Art Bodyscapes use carefully controlled light, shape and shadow to create something elegant, abstract and personal.
Includes five professionally retouched photographs.
Added to an existing session, subject to sufficient photography time.
More Time to Create
Another 30 minutes. Another look. Another possibility.
Sometimes the best ideas arrive just as the session is getting interesting.
Add half an hour for another outfit, studio setting, lighting style or creative idea.
Subject to availability. Additional finished photographs are purchased separately.
The Complete Image Collection
Because sometimes your favourite photograph isn't the one anyone expected.
Your photography package includes its selected, professionally retouched photographs. But what about the other wonderful moments we captured along the way?
The Complete Image Collection gives you the additional usable photographs from your session as unretouched JPEG files.
Available with Awaken, Simply You, Classic or Ultimate.
An optional addition to your chosen package. Your professionally retouched photographs remain included as normal.
The Important Details
You'll receive the additional usable photographs selected from your session as unretouched JPEGs. The number varies according to the photographs created during your shoot.
RAW files, lighting tests, duplicates and technically unsuitable images are excluded. The additional JPEGs do not receive individual professional retouching.
Personal use is included. If you're planning to edit and publish the photographs commercially, including on subscription platforms, we'll agree on the appropriate usage rights before delivery.
The Art Is in the Details.
Taking the photograph is only part of the process. Quite a lot happens afterwards, particularly with boudoir photography.
I spend considerable time working on skin tones, texture, light, colour and the finer details that bring a photograph together.
The idea is to make you look wonderful, not like somebody else entirely.
Your package includes professional retouching of the stated number of finished photographs, together with one reasonable round of minor adjustments.
If you'd like further changes after that, I'm happy to do so. Additional editing is charged according to the work involved.
Good photography deserves careful finishing. And careful finishing, rather inconveniently, takes time.
Editing and Revision Prices
Please submit your initial revision requests together within 14 days of receiving your finished photographs.
Additional revision charges apply to further discretionary changes after the included round.
Genuine editing errors or agreed edits that were overlooked will be corrected without charge.
More extensive editing is quoted for approval before additional work begins. Prices are per image unless otherwise stated.
Some Photographs Deserve a Wall.
And others deserve a beautiful book, a carefully presented collection or something you can actually hold in your hands.
From beautifully presented PhotoBoxes and photographic books to statement wall art, your favourite images can become something tangible, personal and made to last.
You don't need to decide before your shoot. Once you've seen your finished photographs, we can explore the options together.
A Few Questions, Answered.
Do I need any experience posing?
Not at all. I'll guide you through your session, including where to look, how to position yourself and the small adjustments that make a difference.
Will my photographs remain private?
Yes. Your session is private and your photographs will not be published or used for promotion without your written permission.
Is professional retouching included?
Yes. Every package includes the stated number of individually professionally retouched images. The Complete Image Collection is different: its additional JPEGs are supplied unretouched.
Can I request changes to my finished photographs?
Yes. One consolidated round of reasonable minor revisions is included. Please submit those requests within 14 days of delivery. Further discretionary minor revisions are R250 per image. Genuine editing mistakes are corrected without charge.
Can my partner join my session?
Absolutely. The partner addition is R3,000, with photography taking place within your booked session time. Additional time and styling can be arranged separately.
Do I receive every photograph taken?
Your package includes its specified number of professionally retouched images. You can also purchase the Complete Image Collection for R9,000, which includes the additional usable photographs as unretouched JPEGs. RAW files, tests and technical rejects are excluded.
Can I purchase more finished photographs?
Yes. Additional professionally retouched photographs cost R350 each for 1–3 images, R300 each for 4–10, and R250 each for 11 or more.
Can I build my own photography experience?
Yes. You can discuss your preferred photography time, number of finished photographs, styling and studio settings with me. I'll prepare a personalised quotation based on your requirements.
How far ahead should I book hair and makeup?
I recommend arranging professional styling 2–3 weeks in advance. Shorter-notice bookings may still be possible, depending on stylist availability.
What if my confirmed stylist cancels?
We'll first try to find a suitable replacement. If that isn't possible, you may postpone your session to a mutually available date or proceed without the affected styling service and receive a credit equal to its value towards additional professionally retouched photographs. Applicable statutory rights remain unaffected.
Can I add more photography time?
Yes. An additional 30 minutes of photography costs R1,000, subject to availability. Additional finished photographs are purchased separately.
Do you photograph models and content creators?
Yes. I work with models and content creators, including people creating photography for OnlyFans, Fansly and other subscription platforms. You can find out more on my Content Creator Photography page .
Do I have to decide on extras before booking?
Not necessarily. Some extras, particularly professional hair and makeup, need to be arranged in advance. Others can be discussed before or during your session, subject to available time.
Wrong Turn? Not Necessarily.
If you've somehow found yourself here while searching for a photographer to capture the family, the children, the grandparents or perhaps the dog, you may be wondering whether you've taken a wrong turn.
Not to worry. I photograph those things too, although usually with considerably more clothing involved.
For family portraits, weddings, corporate photography and the more traditionally dressed side of life, come and visit me at Peter Driessel Photography.
Same photographer. Same attention to detail. Generally fewer stockings.
Your Next Favourite Photograph Starts Here.
Tell me which experience caught your eye, or describe what you have in mind. I'll help you work out the details.
No elaborate plan required. Just a conversation to get things started.
