amatuer naked photo taking 101?

[neuby37]

Well my girlfriend lets me take pictures of her in bed , but they always come out really crappy looking. She has amazing greens eyes , and a dark tan complexion. I use a kodak digital camera that is 4.0 megapixel.If I tried searching for a site with tips on this all I would get is pay porn sites.

if your pics are greenish then your lighting is not warm enough...flourescent lights are a bad thing...dont know if this is what you are complaining about???

 

[SC4EVA]

you really gotta work on the lighting - bad lighting can make the hottest person situation look gross

Yeah, alot depends on lighting...can really fuck things up.
Also, try tweaking some settings on your camera and take the same pic w/ those different settings.

Good luck!


*P.S. Hopefully someone can be of even greater help...

Use an autoflash for lighting issues and that should fix that, and if you are using a 4.0 megapixel then it ISNT the resolution that is the problem as I use a 3.2 and my pics come out very good with that

Kodak is a good brand camera and pretty user friendly, so I would stick with it.

Try taking some pics of other objects around your house first to get the feel of it and how and what you may want to adjust for some good quality nudes

Also an attachment is available with filters that will correct bad lighting.

not so much, but have been dabbling a little and getting more and more interested. My friend Mike Panic is, he's pretty good too, and that's his site. You can also check him out at www.mikepanic.com

I'm gonna be doing a shoot with him in the end of May, can't wait!

Using the camera's built in flash usually doesn't give good results. I have a photo light with an umbrella. If you don't want to spend money on a photo light, try a hardware store work light with a 250 watt or 500 watt bulb. Usually lighting the subject from the side at about 45 degrees from the camera works OK.
Light hitting the model from straight ahead usually isn't very flattering. Also, check your camera manual for a feature called white balance. Most dig cams have a setting for sunlight and one for tungsten lights
