Be Bold Be You boudoir photography is based at Studio1825 in Belper, Derbyshire. It uses the genre of boudoir photography to encourage clients to express themselves through the art form of photography. The studio received national interest when they started their #uckthefilter campaign which focuses on educating the general public about the impact the use of filters on photographs can have on their own mental health.

Published Works Due to Be Bold Be You’s campaigning for positive mental health in regards to body image, through their campaign #uckthefilter, co-founder of Be Bold Be You, Kirsty Corbett, was invited to submit evidence by the House of Commons Health & Social Care Committee for a report titled “the impact of body image on mental and physical health” which was published in 2022.

Press Coverage In 2021 Be Bold Be You caught the eye of the BBC and local press after Facebook reportedly classed one of their photographs, an image of a woman with surgery scarring following a single mastectomy due to breast cancer, as sexually explicit. Be Bold Be You contested the ruling from Facebook and, with the help of the BBC, successfully secured a statement from the social media giant agreeing to review its image policy guidelines.

Trivia Studio1825, the home of Be Bold Be You, is housed in a 200 year old renovated barn. During the renovations, a mummified cat was found in the walls of the studio and this cat can now be found seen at Derby Museums & Art Gallery.
