How to Do It

How to Photograph Nudes (Creatively)

Photographing nudes is easy. You simply find a model, persuade them to strip off, find a location or hire a studio, light them, pose them, make sure they’ve got the right expression. Oh, and make sure your camera is set up correctly.

Selling the pics is easy after that providing that they’ve signed a model release, they are in the right style and of course, not horizontal when the editor wants upright. Here’s a few tips gleaned from forty-years experience to get you started.

Nature has given us a large, bright light source complete with some very handy diffusers (clouds) which is wonderful for lighting nude photographs.

Location Nudes – Deserted Buildings

It is easy to visualise the ghosts of previous occupants wandering through their empty rooms. Maybe it takes a creative leap to see them as attractive naked women but when photographing location nudes you can capture whatever you want.
