You know that feeling where you're dying to show off how far you've come? That's the feeling behind the "revenge photoshoot" practice. Sure, the last time your ex saw you, you were red-faced and ugly-crying, but you've processed your breakup and feel more confident than ever — and that's exactly what a revenge photoshoot captures. Allebach Photography, a studio specializing in boudoir photography, recommends booking a photoshoot as a fun (and totally legal) form of revenge. The photos show off your best self, reminding you how amazing you are (and, if your ex sees them, reminding them what they're missing out on).

TikToker and photographer Isabel "Bee" Malia also offers revenge photography, albeit in a neoclassical style. In a clip, she writes, "When you take revenge photos that make your ex and all his ancestors roll in their graves," before revealing photos of solo women, made to look like 1700s muses.

Revenge photoshoots can reflect your new-and-improved, post-breakup life, even without a professional photographer. Influencer Noelle Simpson posted a TikTok video of a revenge photoshoot she did with a friend on a balcony. And in a pinch, selfies can also get the job done.
