The joy of photography
Model, photographer and the fine line between too much and too commonplace - nude and erotic photography places the highest demands on you, your camera and your creative ideas! In this PDF tutorial, you will find out how to turn a pose into a convincing pose and how to awaken a real desire for your photos with a professional approach and the right equipment!
The tutorial is divided into a total of ten lessons, supported by illustrative images that show you how successful nude and erotic photography works . Your trainer, Jens Brüggemann, covers a wide range of content and provides detailed value-added information under each aspect addressed:
First, it should be about your equipment - from the choice of camera and lens to the use of additional pieces of equipment such as reflectors, diffusers and light meters to the use of system flash or the flash unit - what is suitable and what you need it for!
Another important aspect in this area of photography is the search for a model , as you will be focusing on him or her a little more than usual. How do you organize the meeting, how do you deal with the model and - this also needs to be clarified - what legal framework conditions need to be observed. The tutorial also includes a sample contract in this regard. (Note on legal aspects and the sample contract: as of 25.05.2018, the GDPR information has not been taken into account)
Then it's on to the practical side: whether in the studio or when shooting outdoors - you need to either control the light and lighting or know how to use it correctly. Jens Brüggemann won't leave you standing in backlighting, grazing light and sidelight, or in the sun and rain. He also addresses different locations and gives professional advice on what to consider in the studio, in the home, in factories and ruins, in nature and by the sea as well as in private and public places.
Whether a woman alone, a man all to himself or several models in a shared experience - this is how you photograph individuals, couples and group arrangements . Use accessories such as fabrics, scarves, jewelry and plants, wrap bodies in charming clothing and add detail with props. Practical tips from a professional, which will be expanded on in another lesson: Find the right pose with your model, use the "sweat effect" for glamorous skin shots, put the actors into action and movement or bring a particularly intimate look to your pictures with the wipe effect.
The course is rounded off with a look at the different styles in erotic photography . Enchant the viewer with seductive portraits and classic nudes, focus on reality and intimacy or provoke with glamor, gothic and fetish. In a final chapter, your trainer will explain how to compile and present your photos digitally and in analog form on the Internet or in print products such as photo books and calendars.
