PERSPECTIVE AND VERSATILITY

To capture the best-possible variety of images during a single session, it’s important to capture closer and longer shots during each session and to consider a variety of camera heights and angles. In image 56, the trucks take on more of a supporting role in the composition. The closer shot and tilted camera angle put a new spin on the location and allow the viewer to focus solely on the model’s shape and contemplative expression.

Photographing Jennifer at a slight angle to the camera produced a flattering view of her breasts, waist, hips, and upper legs. No matter how thin or well-proportioned your subject is, try not to photograph her square-on to the camera. Also, be sure that the model’s arms are held slightly away from her torso and that there is a slight separation between the legs; this makes the body appear more slender.

Images 55 and 56 were made in early-afternoon sunlight with a Nikon D100 and a 28-75mm Tamron lens. Note the difference in the tonal values of the trucks in these photos. Image 56 was brightened in Photoshop.

In image 57, Julie illustrates yet another look that I’ve captured in this one location. This full-body shot shows off her physique and the interesting, texture-rich prop. The image was captured with a Canon PowerShot G1 and was toned using the Hue/Saturation command in Photoshop. Presenting an image in black & white can simplify an image, allowing the viewer to focus more attention on the shapes and textures in the image. Here, the contrast between Julie’s skin and her immediate background focus attention to the model.
