USING THE MAGIC

HOURS IN NUDE
PHOTOGRAPHY
T
his is a softly erotic outdoor shot of a young model.

Even if the picture had nothing else going for it, the
simple gesture of grasping her wet hair would provide

visual interest to an otherwise fairly straightforward pose.
However, what truly makes this shot special is the

lighting. Fortunately, this type of light is not difficult to
achieve. For the most part, all thats required is to shoot
at the correct time of day. However, that window of time
doesnt last long.
From the golden color of the light, you can be certain this
image was either taken just after sunrise or just before
sunset (when the sun was low in the sky). These times
of day are often referred to as The Magic Hour.
However, to get a picture with this alluring type of light,
you definitely wont have an hour. In truth, you may have
only a few minutes.
From the highlights on the models hair and the rim of light on her torso (most visible in the bottom right
corner of the image), you can tell that she had her back to the setting sun.
To fill in any unwanted shadows, a gold reflector was used to bounce light from the sun back onto her
body (further enhancing the warm glow of the shot).
This picture was also made more interesting by using a lens set to a wide aperture. The wide setting
serves to place even more emphasis on the model by causing the trees in the background to become
blurred.

HOW TO USE SEAMLESS

PAPER FOR EROTIC
IMAGES
A
lthough theres no nudity in this shot (or even

the suggestion of it), theres no denying that
its still a very sexy and alluring image.
The shadow cast by the models body is only one of

the factors that gives the shot a unique look. The
shot was taken using white seamless paper as a
backdrop. This type of backdrop results in a smooth
transition from the horizontal (the floor) to the
vertical (the wall).
The appearance of the single and relatively hard

shadow implies that the picture was taken using a
single light placed in front of the model
(approximately 45 degrees right of the camera
position).
The body position of the model, with most of her weight placed on her right leg creates an appealing
pose. Directing models to place the majority of their weight on one leg or the other is typically a way to
add a sexy curve (or curves) to a pose.
Having the model glance over her right shoulder also gives the shot added drama and mystery.
Additionally, pictures like this one that emphasize the legs usually benefit from high heels; and this shot is
no exception.
Finally, the body of the model is placed vertically on the right side of the image. This is a good use of The
Rule of Thirds compositional technique and helps to create a very striking shot.

GAINING EXPERIENCE IN
EROTIC PHOTOGRAPHY
S
ince many of you reading this may be new to glamour

or nude photography and might have a bit of anxiety
regarding doing these types of shoots, I want to tell you the

story behind this image.
I took this picture many years ago. It was one of the first three
or four nude shoots I had ever done. I wish I could say I was
in complete control of the situation and impressed the model
with my photographic expertise. However, thats not how it
happened.
Like all new photographers, I was struggling to juggle the

different variables that a photo shoot requires. However,
unlike the models I had photographed previously, Tara, the
model seen here, was very experienced and had little
patience regarding my frequent indecision about what exactly to do next.
During one of my many self-caused delays, I looked over at her and she was staring at me with a look of
disdain that 19-year-olds seem to do so well. Still, I couldnt help myself. I quickly snapped off a shot.
In spite of the circumstances, I really like this picture. Its not posed in any way. Its truly honest and real.
In retrospect, I wish I wouldnt have added the extra grain and the purple tone. However, it was in the
early days of my experience with Photoshop and I couldnt help myself. Unfortunately, Ive since lost the
original slide.
So whats the lesson here? Just this: If youre new to this style of photography, dont worry about things
going wrong. Trust me, things will go wrong. Its inevitable. But dealing with the problems that arise during
a shoot is the best way to learn.
And before you know it, youll be the one with the experience.
PAGE 9
SECRETS OF NUDE TEEN

PHOTOGRAPHY
I
f youre a photographer looking to profit from your work, you

should know that theres a huge market for images of
Teens. The models in this category are usually 18 or 19-yearolds (or women in their early 20s who can still pull off a younger
look).
Like all niches, this one has certain photographic characteristics

that fans of the genre like to see. And to be honest, this picture
contains so many of those young and sugary characteristics
that Im starting to get a headache from just looking at it.
However, simply because this picture contains numerous Teen

cliches doesnt mean its a bad picture. In fact, it more likely
means that its a very marketable picture.
Lets take a look at some of the main factors that make this picture so ideal for the Teen category. First,
the model in this shot has a very friendly and inviting facial expression (a big smile and great eye
contact).
Additionally, when shooting Teen images, you cant go wrong with the color pink; and this shot features
a lot of it. The pink headband has a young vibe to it, the pink shirt is visible on the arm of the sofa, shes
playfully tugging on her pink panties, and shes wearing socks with pink stripes.
Her pose is also a very popular one for this particular niche: The feet spread wide while the knees stay
together conveys a shy and innocent feel.
Finally, youll notice that her makeup is extremely light, her hair is in a very simple style, her breasts are
natural, and she has no tattoos or piercings.
Put all these things together and youve got yourself a potentially profitable image.
PAGE 10
FETISH PHOTO TIPS AND

TECHNIQUES
E
xcept for the models face, theres

no skin visible in this picture.
However, I think most viewers would still

consider this image to be quite sexy.
Due to the wardrobe, this photo has a

definite Fetish feel to it. Latex is a
staple of the Fetish world. In fact, if
youre looking to shoot Fetish pictures,
the use of latex in some way is a good
place to start.
The unusual look of this image matches

the unusual wardrobe choice. To get this
look, two specific techniques were used.
One of the techniques is a very low

shooting angle. The angle exaggerates
the length of the models legs (of course,
the extreme height of the shoes also play
a role in doing this).
This shot also takes advantage of the

fact that the wide-angle lens used for this
picture serves to create a type of visual distortion, making the subject matter in the foreground appear
larger than it really is. Conversely, the wide-angle lens makes objects further from the camera appear
smaller than they actually are.
In this particular shot, the extreme distortion caused by the lens perfectly complements the extreme
wardrobe worn by the model.
PAGE 11
SHOOTING EXPLICIT
PHOTOS
I
f your goal is to shoot

professionally in the world
of glamour and nude

p h o t o g r a p h y, y o u m a y
sometimes have jobs in which
youll need to shoot extremely
sexy images without showing
anything explicit that could
cause problems for your client.
This picture is a good (and

fairly obvious) way to go about
creating such a photograph.
The models pose is a very

common one in the world of
Adult-oriented photography.
However, in that genre, the
model would very likely be
nude (with the possible
exception of her funky shoes).
Its certainly not a mystery why

this particular pose would be
considered an overtly sexual one by almost anyone. However, I feel this shot has more going for it than
just the pose. The shoes are a great touch. And the wallpaper is an interesting and unusual backdrop for
an image of this type.
PAGE 12
THE IMPORTANCE OF
SHARP FOCUS IN NUDE
PHOTOGRAPHY
T
his shot is a good example
of how shooting from a high
angle can be very effective in

creating striking images. For this
particular image, I used a high
angle to emphasize the models
eyes as she looks up to the
camera.
Besides the shooting angle, a wide

aperture setting results in the
background (including the models
body) to be slightly soft in focus
compared to her face and, most
importantly, her eyes.
If a models eyes are tack-sharp,

viewers will tend to consider the
entire image to be in focus. On the
other hand, if a models eyes are
not sharp, viewers will tend to see
the entire picture as out of focus.
On a more detailed note, its a good idea to focus specifically on the eye of the model thats closest to the
camera. In this particular shot, both eyes are the same distance from the camera. However, youll often
face situations when this isnt the case.
Additionally, the mild diagonal positioning of her body from the lower right to the upper left of the frame
adds visual interest to the image. When composing images, keep an eye out for interesting diagonals.
PAGE 13
A SIMPLE RECIPE FOR A

BEAUTIFUL NUDE PHOTO
Reci pe for an Appealing Soft-Core
Nude Photograph of a Young Woman:
A young model (18 or 19-years-old).
Facing the camera nearly straight on (or

perhaps a slight turn of the shoulders).
Gracefully twisting her long, flowing hair.
A subtle tilt to of the head to create a barely

perceptible S curve pose.
A facial expression that conveys innocence and

youth.
A pose that doesnt contain any overt sexuality.
Soft and even lighting to make the skin look

flawless.
Natural breasts.
No visible tattoos or piercings.
The bottom of the frame cropped low enough to

imply that the model is fully nude without
actually showing that shes fully nude.
Its as simple as that.
PAGE 14
HOW TO TAKE
SCULPTURAL NUDE
PICTURES
T
his is a very sculptural and artistic

shot. Though the subject is a nude
woman, there is nothing overtly sexual or

suggestive about this photograph.
To me, it appears to be more of a study of

the human form than a true glamour
photograph. Its not difficult to envision this
3/4 pose existing as an actual sculpture
rather than a photo.
The photographers decision to crop the

photo just above the knee was a good
choice and add emphasis to the curves of
the body. Its very important to learn to crop
images at locations in the image that add,
rather than detract, from the composition.
As an example, imagine this picture
cropped just below the knees of the model.
Such a crop would greatly take away from
the gentle lines that make this shot special.
The image was shot against a brightly lit white background that enables the body of the model to truly
stand out when placed in front of it.
The remaining lighting is fairly even (with a slight highlight on the models back).
Regarding the pose, the arms and hands are placed in an interesting and unique position. Additionally,
the extreme arch of the back makes for an attractive and alluring curve.
PAGE 15
NUDE PHOTOGRAPHY
MEETS ART
PHOTOGRAPHY
T
he image seen here is

truly unique. Its a
photograph that could appear

just as easily in the pages of
Elle, Playboy, or on the wall of
a museum dedicated to fine-art
photography.
The unique quality of the shot

starts with the square
composition. If youre
interested in experimenting
with different styles of
photography, I recommend that
you explore the compositional
advantages (and limitations) of
a square image.
Im not exactly sure what the

photographer wanted to convey with this shot; but whatever it was, he nailed it. The extreme arch of the
back, the somewhat unkempt hair, the deep red lipstick and fingernail polish, the placement of the
models hand, and the unusual tone of the image all come together to create a very unusual shot.
From the soft shadow that can be seen on the backdrop, I would guess that a single soft box placed at a
45 degree angle to the model (right of the camera) was the main light source used.
The image also makes great use of The Rule of Thirds. If the model had been placed in the center of the
image, a static and far less compelling shot would have been the result.
PAGE 16
A CLEVER
COMPOSITIONAL
TECHNIQUE FOR NUDE
IMAGES
T
his shot features a square composition with

the model placed directly in the center.
While this goes against a strict interpretation of the

Rule of Thirds guideline, the composition works
well here. This is due in part to the fact the
models center placement works well with the
symmetry that exists elsewhere within the image.
From the catchlights in the models eyes, its easy

to detect that a single light was positioned just
above the eye-level of the model and slightly to
her right.
I think the photographers decision to crop the top

of the models head from the picture was a good
one. This subtle move brings added emphasis to
her eyes and the interesting position of her arms
and hands.
However, the main reason this shot is highly seductive is that the bottom crop is as low as it possibly
could be without showing anything that would turn the shot into something more explicit.
This image is a good example of how the most important decision a photographer can make is often what
to leave out of a composition.
PAGE 17
SENSUAL VERSUS
SEXUAL: THE ULTIMATE
BATTLE
I
n the world of glamour, nude,

a n d e r o t i c p h o t o g r a p h y,
theres a very fine line between

sensual and sexual.
Regarding the picture seen here,

I think the photographer did a
great job pushing sensual to
the absolute limit without it
becoming sexual. On the other
hand, many viewers might put
this in a more sexual category
simply because its a close-up of
a particular area of a womans
body. In the end, its all in the
eyes of the individual viewer.
Different strokes for different
folks, so to speak.
As far as the image itself, I think

its a beautifully executed
composition. The hands in the
shot are used as a great framing device and deliver an extra touch of visual interest.
On the technical side, strong side-lighting was used to accentuate the curves of the body as well as the
drops of water on the skin.
PAGE 18
SHOOTING OUTSIDE
YOUR EROTIC
PHOTOGRAPHY
COMFORT ZONE
A
s they say, Every man loves a woman with an

attitude. Or do they say, Every man hates a
woman with an attitude? To be honest, I really have

no idea what they say. Fortunately, it doesnt matter
in regard to this shot.
The point is that its often very rewarding and

interesting to experiment with styles of photography
that may be out of your comfort zone. Its a great way
to improve your skills and stretch your abilities and
imagination.
So unless your comfort zone already includes

photographing a woman wearing latex thigh highs, 6inch stiletto boots and black panties while flipping you
off, perhaps this is the type of picture you might be
interested in experimenting with.
At the very least, seeing this image should give you some ideas regarding what types of photos may be
out of your comfort zone and, therefore, worth challenging yourself with.
Stretching your predetermined limits doesnt mean you have to go in the direction seen here. If you
usually shoot indoors with flash, try going outside and using only natural light; if you tend to be fairly
regimented in how you direct models, try a more casual approach.
I guarantee itll be an interesting experiment and well worth your time.
PAGE 19
HOW TO INJECT
MYSTERY INTO YOUR
NUDE PHOTOGRAPHY
T
he main reason I like this

picture is because at first
glance theres just a slight touch

of androgyny about it. Though it
doesnt take long to figure out the
reality, the brief doubt that
accompanies a viewers first
glance at the shot helps to make
for an intriguing image.
Little mysteries such as this one

help to make truly memorable
photographs. However, trying to
force them into your shots rarely
yields good results; but when you
come across an idea for a
legitimately interesting twist, dont
hesitate to go for it.
As far as the actual picture seen here, its beautifully executed by both the photographer and the model.
Soft, directional lighting coming from left of the camera delivers classically beautiful light.
The photographer makes great use of the square composition. To me, the most clever choice by the
photographer was to crop the models head just above her eyes. This seemingly small decision results in
the models full lips becoming even more prominent than they would have otherwise been.
And in this case, thats a good thing.
PAGE 20
HOW TO CREATE SEXY

NON-NUDE PHOTOS
T
his image is proof that a picture doesnt

require even a hint of nudity to still be
seductive and compelling.
For this shot, I bounced two flash heads into

umbrellas to create a fairly even lighting situation.
If youre just starting to learn about lighting, it's often

a good idea to limit yourself to two light sources.
Move them around, adjust their power outputs, and
so forth. Simply play around with them and learn the
various lighting possibilities they offer.
This particular image was taken early in a set of

pictures I shot for a major magazine. Though later
shots in the set were far more revealing, this image
is my favorite.
I like the calm, yet confident, expression on her

face. I also like the strong eye contact she has with
the camera.
While youll often find yourself taking pictures with your models looking away from the camera, I think its
a good idea to encourage strong and confident eye contact early in a shoot. I've found this often sets a
good tone for the pictures that follow.
PAGE 21
HOW TO WORK WITH

WATER IN NUDE
PHOTOGRAPHY
H
eres something you can nearly
always count on regarding
glamour photography: If you take an

attractive model, put her in clothing that
becomes transparent when wet, and
add wateryoure well on your way to
creating a very seductive image.
When it comes to glamour and nude

photography, the equation above is as
close to a guarantee as you can get.
Not surprisingly, most photographs that

include water are shot outdoors.
Because of this, I find the indoor image
seen here to be much more intriguing
than most outdoor shots - especially
when compared to the stereotypical
Girl in bikini washing a car picture.
The composition of this image is unique

and nicely executed. Even though the
shot includes a 3/4 body shot of a model
wearing very little, the true focal point of the picture is her hand. This small detail gives a definite
sculptural feeling to the shot.
When working with water, theres a valuable technique you should know: If you want to obtain the look of
water beading on a models skin, simply apply baby oil to her before any water is introduced.
PAGE 22
USING MIRRORS IN
YOUR NUDE PICTURES
T
he use of mirrors can be an interesting creative

choice when shooting nude images. If executed
properly, mirrors can be used in an infinite number of

ways to create interesting shots.
However, shots that include mirrors can be a bit tricky

and often require some extra thought to make the
images work.
The most obvious potential problem is keeping

unwanted objects or people out of the shot. To be more
specific, its important to keep both the lighting
equipment and yourself (the photographer) from being
visible in the mirror. After those issues are taken care
of, it's important to make sure that the lighting is not
causing any unwanted reflections to appear in the
mirror.
The shot seen here is an excellent example of how a

mirror can be used to create a very beautiful and unique image. The positioning of the model allows her to
be viewed from both the front and the back (a difficult task in a two dimensional medium).
Additionallyat the level of the models stomach and thighyou'll notice that the mirror is cracked and
weathered. This small touch adds an aesthetically pleasing texture to the shot that wouldnt have been
present had the mirror been in perfect condition.
PAGE 23
GIVING YOUR NUDE

MODELS THE FREEDOM
TO PLAY
G
oing into shoots, I tend to have a clear idea in

my head about the types of pictures I want to
capture. Because of this, I tend to be fairly involved in

directing my models.
However, when Im shooting more than one model at a

time, I usually take a far more relaxed approach.
I do this for two reasons:
First, it can be quite difficult to position multiple models

in very specific ways. There are simply too many arms
and legs and fingers and toes to keep track of. A slight
movement by one model can significantly effect
another's position. The process can quickly get very
frustrating for everyone involved.
Second, Ive found that giving models the freedom to

come up with their own things will often lead to very
interesting shots.
My best advice when shooting more than one model is to create an environment in which the lighting
looks good and the basic composition of the shot is to your liking. After these two criteria are met, give the
models a general idea regarding your vision for the pics. After this, let them then know they have freedom
to interact with each other and come up with their own creative ideas.
I guarantee that youll rarely be disappointed by their efforts.
PAGE 24
HOW TO DO NUDE
PHOTOGRAPHY IN BRIGHT
SUNLIGHT
hotographers often speak of The Magic Hour. This

term refers to the brief periods of time just after
sunrise and just before sunset. Its at these times that the
sun is low in the sky and casts a virtually shadowless and
flatteringly golden tone onto subjects being photographed.
This type of light is in contrast to the hard shadows that

are cast at other times of day when the sun is higher in
the sky. At these times, photographing people in a
complimentary way can be extremely difficult; in large part
due to the harsh shadows that will appear on your
subjects face and body. However, there are ways around
this problem.
The image seen here is a good example of how its

possible to shoot at midday and still get good results. By
playing detective, you can determine the location of the
sun at the time this picture was taken. The hard line of shadow that cuts across the models right breast
and stomach is evidence for the suns location (almost directly above the model).
To combat the harsh shadows, an area of shade was located in which to place the model so her face would
not be directly hit by the sun. This allowed for a soft and even light to fall on her face and most of her body.
A shaded area can be produced in many different ways: large trees, walls, and even having an assistant
hold up a piece of cardboard can all work well.
Additionally, a reflector was used to bounce a bit of light onto the front of the model to fill in some of the
harsh shadows.
Shooting glamour shots at midday isnt impossible. However, it usually requires some extra effort.
PAGE 25
HOW TO CAPTURE
CASUAL NUDE PHOTOS
T
his may seem hard to believe, but its

not easy to take a picture like the one
seen here. In fact, it can be extremely

difficult.
Why is this the case?
Admittedly, from a technical standpoint, its a

very simple image. The absence of sharply
defined catchlights and the soft and relatively
flat lighting is good evidence that a very
simple lighting setup was used. In fact, since
the light is uniform throughout the shot (even
in the background), its quite possible that
nothing more than natural light was used.
So far, very simple.
Additionally, her makeup is fairly light and her

entire wardrobe consists of a single bracelet.
Once again, very simple.
As far as her pose, shes simply sitting on a bed. Shes not smiling or making strong eye contact. To be
honest, she looks a little disinterested in the whole process. Oddly, these are the factors that make this
image more difficult to capture than you might think.
Taking pictures of models appearing casual and extremely relaxed is not easy. The main reason for this is
that experienced models have a difficult time turning off their instinct to pose and inexperienced models
are often too nervous or unsure of themselves to truly relax.
So, how do you get a shot like this one? Patience, patience, and more patience.
