Tips Where More Skin is Part of Composition

It utmost important to study posing for experimental types of shots. You can look at various photography forums, books, blogs for kind of inspiration. The matter falls in the domain of how to compose a photograph to make it interesting. We gave an example situation – a lady’s portrait with sleeveless top. Big risk in these kind of photography is exposing what was the weather – odd goosebumps in focus not going to give great idea to the viewer. In the same way, for the females, probably skin needs to be look shiny. Unless model/subject is professional, study around the matter is important. It can happen that you need a soft feel, but lighting effect can make it sexually interesting, resulting in devastation of original idea. In general, tend not to make the hairs and pores obvious like a net!

Among lends, like portrait photography, you can choose 50mm, 85mm prime lens or use a telephoto lens within 200mm focal length.

I prefer tethered shooting more. An advantage of tethered shooting with big screen is providing more comfort to the subject – the human can become more natural. Nature of lens can create big issue in skin with garment. Some lens may not give the softness needed while others appear too soft. Use props, cover up, use imagination in composition.

Do not forget spot meter like tools, if you lack such may be you can use some Android apps for metering.

Exposure of good amount of skin is not quite infrequent situation, but if you carefully notice most of unprepared photographs, you’ll realize that artistic nude photography has lot of minor matters to learn, which when applied on day to day situations in home studio, they do add special artistic value.
