1:
Use
a camera you are familiar with! You don't need fancy equipment
to take good photos. A willingness to play is more important here
than the equipment, especially if this is something only you and
your partner are going to share.
2:
Use a digital or Polaroid camera if privacy is a concern. Taking
you naughty photos to be developed at your local Walmart is generally
not a good idea, the chances are that the photos will be confiscated
as obscene and worse still passed around. Digital photos allow
you to only share with those who you and your partner want too.
3:
Consider a Model Release form. Okay so it might not sound
like the sexiest thing in the world but neither is being sued
by your former partner because they no longer want their photo's
on line. Taking the time to prepare a simple contract can save
a lot of possible headaches in the future.
4:
Plan ahead, and plan together. Half the fun of doing something
is the planning right? So why should a photo shoot be any different?
Take some time looking through erotic books together, ask each
other about the best poses, share ideas for clothing and props
you might want to use.
5: Setting the mood. Lighting is an important part of any photo,
spend some time exploring different forms of lightning to obtain
different moods for your photos. Lighted candles will give a different
feel to spot lights for example.
6:
Keep It Simple Stupid. A good tip is start out simply, you may
have developed a bunch of ideas and scenarios while you were planning
the shoot, stick to one if at all possible. Lay out the props
you will need before hand and explore the scenario you have created
before moving onto others.
7:
Location, location, location! Think about the best place to take
photo's before you start shooting. The location should be somewhere
private. No one wants to be disturbed while they are trying to
be sexy. While the bedroom is the obvious place to start, try
exploring other areas, like the bathroom and kitchen, even the
staircase can offer possibilities for a different shot.
8:
Don’t be afraid to move. It's okay for the model/s to move
during a photo shoot. Experiment with different poses, try sitting,
lying, standing and moving in order to create different images.
The photographer should move around as well, different angles
can make for some interesting shots.
9:
Talk about it. After you have finished playing, take time to look
at the images, discard those you or your partner doesn't like,
discuss what worked for you both and what didn't, make notes for
the future and apply them to the next time.
10: Have Fun! There really are no right or wrong ways to take
an erotic picture. The more fun you have, the more it is likely
to show through on the final pictures. Keep it simple, have fun
and enjoy the experience.
