Erotic Photos Help

When I was in an LDR with my OH I used to take hundreds of photos to keep things going. The things that help me are - mirrors, everywhere in your house and - keep a camera with you all the time....I have countless photos from when I've (for example) jumped out the shower, glanced at myself in the mirror and though "hmmm, the light in here looks good and my body is looking particularly attractive today - click click" always nice to have a few different back drops too, and experiment with "teasing tools", a well placed white towel for instance or using flash in a mirror to disguise.

i have to admit, your profile pics are always sexy, yet anonymous. i love them!! x

I found this really useful when making a book for my OH

It was really good to make the phot's erotic not pornographic. And snapfish meant that I didn't have to look anyone in the eye when ordering the book.

OH really loved it!

Thank you so much  lots of practice and failed photos! I must get back into taking photos as I've let them tail off since moving in with WandA (unless we are separated for whatever reason) I'm running out of photos that I can use as a profile picture (all the others are far too explicit!).

whenever i take photos i try not to edit them other than to resize them but theres some brilliant free software for editing things like light levels

paint.net is the one i mainly use http://www.paint.net/

We use loads of tricks to get good photos - I don't know if there is any way to PM here, but we can give a load of advice based on experience. We have a load on pics on another site and coming up with good ones for there is great. It's a bit too much to give here though.

 I only use photoshop to get rid of things in the background - the pics are all me - cellulite and all!

 Bought a few props from LH. pink wig, long gloves, crotchless panty.nipple pasties. getting ready for a really naughty session. got the nookie game to start things off

It's just my opinion, but when taking photos the most important things to consider is the lighting and background... once you have those sorted you really need to look at the angle from which you are taking the photograph and the framing..

It really depends on what you want to shoot :)

 My tips are strong, yellow-toned lights and white sheets if you want clear, detailed images showing everything. You want all light to be reflecting onto the subject, pointing from all directions. Overhead lights - not sexy. Lights on just one side looks funny and upward lighting will make most people look like the creature from the black lagoon.

I've done some incredible shots using a couple of Ikea £2.49 lamps lighting small areas of flesh with the rest in shadow, too. This works well to 'spotlight' certain areas too - such as the face, breast, buttock etc. If you need to narrow the field of light, you can tape a tube of card around the rim of the lamp (so long as it wont get too hot!).

As it's said further up, get snap-happy. The more shots you shoot off, the more likely you'll get a plethora of photos both of you are happy with. Yessssss!
