Professional PhotographerIf you have access to a window with natural light, take advantage of it. Use sheer curtains to diffuse the light, creating soft and flattering illumination that complements your photographic vision. Alternatively, if you prefer more control over the lighting conditions, utilize blackout curtains to block out external light. This allows you to rely solely on artificial lighting sources, giving you the flexibility to adjust and manipulate the light to your liking. - QuestionIf I'm under 18, can I take nude pictures of myself?MusicIsEverywhereCommunity AnswerYes, as long as you keep them for personal viewing only and don't share them with anyone else.
- QuestionIt is not right to say: “when taking pictures of very young children”? Don’t do that, with the exception of newborn baby photos for parents, that’s messed up, as a six year can’t consent!MusicIsEverywhereCommunity AnswerThis article is about nude art, not pornography. Child pornography is illegal for the very good reason that it is predatory and damaging to children. Nude art, at least in North America, has no legal age restrictions due to freedom of speech and censorship issues.
Tips
- The model’s comfort level should always be your number one priority.Thanks
- Ask the model not to wear anything tight that might dig into their skin. If there are marks on the model’s skin, you might have to wait for them to disappear before you start shooting.Thanks
