- 17 Subtle Ways to Tell Your Dude to Take Your Pic
1. Clean that front camera.
First things first: A blurry pic is the exact opposite of what you want. Make sure that there's no dust or grime getting in the way of your perfect shot. A microfiber cloth will do the trick, and to avoid issues, try not to touch your front cam with your fingertips.
Fun fact: Smartphones are pretty, well, smart. That's why the camera app features dozens of ways to fiddle around with lighting and focus. Play around with these options by simply tapping the center of the screen before you snap a pic. After all, *you* should be focus, not your unmade bed.
3. Don't overthink things.
Hesitation is only going to hold you back. Take as many shots at once and asses the best later, rather than stopping and checking to make sure you hit the pose after each one. Plus, if you have an IG husband taking your pics, this will ensure that they stay committed to their photography duties.
4. Shoot from an angle.View full post on Instagram
Instagram influencer Stephanie Yeboah recommends taking photos at an angle as opposed to face-on to create a sense of intimacy.
“I prefer a high-above angle, as it’s easier to fit in the silhouette of your body,” she says.
5. Your legs are way more powerful than you’d think.
View full post on Instagram
Jessica Wu, a stylist, producer, and model, explains that alternating your leg stance in a few different shots can help your odds of finding the ~perfect~ snap in your camera roll upon review. “I tend to alternate my leg stances a few different times to get multiple angles—having a wider stance, putting one leg out to the side or in front of the other, and standing with your feet together are usually flattering,” she explains.
6. Arch! That! Back!View full post on Instagram
This simple move makes your booty pop while accentuating your waist, explains Sam Feher, Cosmopolitan’s own editorial assistant (and an Instagram influencer in her own right).
“In this photo, I’m angling my upper body away from the camera too, so it makes my butt/thighs look thicker than my waist, which is fuay [ed note: this means hot].”
View full post on Instagram
Windows and mirrors are your best friends! Says Yeboah, “I find posing in front of—or on the side of—a window with the sun streaming in creates an almost ethereal glow that promotes an innocent-yet-sexy aesthetic. Investing in an oversize white shirt helps too.”
View full post on Instagram
“It makes your legs look ridiculously long,” says Feher. Another way of elongating your gams? Tilt the photo forward from the bottom. Wearing shoes that are the same color as your legs or pants also helps with the illusion that your legs are 30 percent longer.
View full post on Instagram
Seriously: It makes you look taller! While common sense might seem like it’s better to shoot from above, Feher says that photos angled above can turn out wonky. Yeboah agrees, saying that she prefers to shoot from below to give the illusion of added height.
10. Take selfies from under your face to accentuate your jawline.View full post on Instagram
While this might’ve previously been thought of as a double-chin angle, if you jut your chin out dramatically, it makes your jawline look ridiculously sharp. How 'bout them angles?
The only thing that compares is a quality ring light, says Feher. If you don’t feel like traveling with a whole other tech accessory, natural lighting is your BFF.

Explains influencer Shaunda Necole, the best lighting is just as the sun is rising or during “golden hour” right before the sun sets. She recommends the Golden Hour app, which allows you to input your location to find the exact window of time for optimal photo-taking.
13. Put one hand in your pocket.
View full post on Instagram
If you're unsure of what to do with your hands, Wu recommends placing one on your waist or in your pocket. Still stumped? Run your fingers lightly through your hair (after all, these are *sexy* selfies we're talking about here!) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Sorry to sound like a school marm for a hot sec, but you’re here for a crash course in thirst-trap photography, so bear with me. Stick your collarbones out for any photos so your spine is aligned as straight as possible for the best pic.
15. When it comes to sexy poses, it’s all about the hip tilt.View full post on Instagram
Putting one foot in front of the other makes your hips tilt and can make you look curvier while also elongating your legs, says Feher. “That’s my go-to because it’s fast, looks natural, and you can pull it off in public places without getting anyone else in your photo.”
“My tip for getting over the embarrassment is to ALWAYS hype up my friend first and be like, ‘You look like sex, lemme get a pic,’ and then they’re so embarrassed that they make me do it, even if that was my original goal all along,” says Feher.
You get to boost someone else’s self-esteem, take cool photos of your friends, and get the photos you wanted all along. It costs literally nothing. Adds Wu, “If you focus on the person taking your photo and don’t get distracted by people walking by, you’ll definitely get better photos! I usually ignore people who snoop or take photos and just focus on the camera.”
VSCO C1 in action

For the trendy orangey one that’s in right now, Feher suggests Lightroom presets from your favorite influencers. What better way to skip right to the finish line than by using an influencer-approved filter?
“Lightroom is better for camera/DSLR photos,” says Feher, whereas she prefers editing in VSCO for iPhone photos.

19. Chipped mani?No problem. There’s no need to spend money getting a new manicure or taking the time to remove all your polish when there’s an easy, free fix. Feher says to use the color picker/airbrush tool on Facetune to fill in the spots where you’re missing color.
Download Facetune for iOS and Android.
20. Find the right framing.Feher says one of her rules for photos is that she won’t zoom or crop. “It makes the picture look weird and f*cks with the quality,” she explains. So it’s worth taking the time to figure out the perfect framing before shooting, so you don’t have to do too much work fixing/editing/cropping afterward.

How to Take Sexy Nudes, According to Boudoir Photographers
How to Take Hotter Nudes 101: A Manifesto
By Lindsey Lanquist
Photo by bombuscreative / Graphic by Zackary Angeline
In many areas, I crave consistency. I like when the subway comes on time and how my hair will be reliably perfect on the third day since my last wash. But one area where I’m disappointingly consistent is in my abysmal failure to take a sexy selfie.
Whether I’m standing in front of my bathroom mirror, lying on my bed, or sneaking a quick nip shot in a bathroom stall at a bar, it never goes well.
Sometimes the lighting is dim or the camera lens on my phone is dirty. Other times, I can't convince my face and body to do something sexy at the same time. The result is always a weirdly cropped, uncomfortable-looking photo that I'd rather delete than send to anyone else. And that sort of defeats the purpose of a nude selfie—at least, the ones I'm taking.
Instead of continuing to suffer from my chronic inability to take a hot nude, I turned to the experts: three New York City-area boudoir photographers who set, light, and shoot sexy photos as their actual jobs. Then I did an IRL boudoir shoot with one of them. Emerging from this session a bit wiser and with a much more convincing sultry bottom lip bite, I took everything I learned and applied it to my DIY “nudes” (which, for the purposes of this article, are not nude at all).
Here’s literally everything I learned about how to take sexier nudes.
First, I met with three boudoir photographers to learn the “rules” of boudoir.
Disclaimer: There are, of course, no official “rules.”
I chatted with Irina Mednik of French Kiss Boudoir Photography, Elizabeth Beskin of 5th Avenue Digital, and Evgenia Ribinik of Evgenia Ribinik Boudoir Photography to get the lowdown on boudoir photography.
For the record, there’s an obvious difference between boudoir photos and nude selfies; one is the product of high-quality equipment and a professional photographer’s keen eye, and the other is a product of, well, a naked bod and a cell phone. Still, the photographers gave me a lot of advice I didn’t know I needed, and I got something of a crash course in the art of nude photography.
Their first lesson: Mood matters, as much as any pose or facial expression. This shocked me. I’ve always been one to run to the nearest mirror and snap a quick pic—throwing caution, mental preparation, and lighting concerns to the metaphorical wind.
No longer. According to my boudoir gurus, I should put some serious thought into wardrobe, lighting, scenery, and ~setting the mood~.
Their second lesson: When it comes to poses and facial expressions, less is more. I have a hard time getting my face to behave when I’m posing for pictures—nude or not—but all three photographers encouraged me to chill. The same goes for posing. Beskin told me that some of the most beautiful boudoir shots are those that capture natural, imperfect moments—because they capture the kind of authentic intimacy you share with your partner on a regular basis.
After my initial interviews, I had the chance to model in my very own boudoir shoot.
Something all three photographers mentioned was that a lot of the “magic” of a boudoir session happens on-set—in the communication between photographer and model. I’m the kind of person who learns by doing, so I thought I’d give the whole boudoir thing a shot and (hopefully) walk away with a few observations I could apply to my own nudes.
Full disclosure: Ribinik provided me with the session and the photos for free as part of this story—which I’m immensely grateful for. Normally, a boudoir shoot with a professional can run you around $900.
To prepare for my professional photoshoot, I made a moodboard—something Mednik had suggested in our interview.
Laugh away, but the moodboard helped me figure out what I wanted my nudes to look like. It also helped me find photo inspiration, see what poses I liked, and compile lingerie I was into.
For the record, I would've happily included an image of my moodboard (it's mostly butt photos, because apparently I'm a huge fan of derrieres), but photo rights issues prevent me from doing so. So you'll just have to imagine all the sexy boudoir butt pics that inspired my shoot.
Then I selected some outfits.

Clothed nude photos?! An oxymoron of the highest order! But all three photographers assured me clothed—or like, partially clothed—photos were standard in boudoir.
Since going full birthday suit can be a little awkward, they recommended I start with a more covered-up look (say, my partner's button-down or a cozy sweater over my favorite bra) and gradually strip down to my skivvies.
Beskin even suggested I select my outfits ahead of time and lay them out in the order I plan to wear them. (She warned that corsets and other tight garments can leave marks on the skin, so I should wear those last. I’m not sophisticated enough to own a corset, but, you know, noted.)
My gurus informed me that many clients buy new lingerie before a shoot, but I don’t have the budget for that, so I stuck with what I already owned. I brought a couple bras, three pairs of underwear, a bodysuit, and a button-down with me to the shoot, and Ribinik helped me assemble looks from there.

And I got some pretty dramatic hair and makeup done for the occasion.
Courtesy of author
Standard boudoir shoots involve about an hour of Victoria’s Secret-inspired hair and makeup.
This gives clients a second to get in the zone before, you know, taking their clothes off. And the photographers suggested I incorporate something similar—hair and makeup, sexy music, a glass (or two) of wine—into my own nude selfie shoots. I don't have much of a problem being naked around people (just ask my poor, poor roommates), but even I thought this period of mental preparation sounded like a good idea.
On set, Ribinik opted for a Lana Del Rey-based soundtrack, and her makeup artist took her time making me look picture-perfect. I ended up looking like a straight-up doll—a look I appreciated for the professional shoot but would never have the patience (or skill) to recreate on my own.
Then I did the whole nude (and semi-nude) modeling thing. And honestly, it was easier than I expected.
While Ribinik's makeup artist worked her magic, Ribinik walked me through the fundamentals of boudoir scenery—which is basically just that you want to pose in a clean, well-lit, ideally luxurious-looking room.
(The swanky Manhattan hotel room we were shooting in seemed to fit the bill.)
Though it was raining out, she explained she'd be keeping the lights off. Apparently, natural light—even if it's dim—is better than artificial light, because it can lend a soft, sensual vibe to your photos. Ribinik recommended posing in a window-filled room, like the one we were in, whenever possible.
Before I knew it, my two hours of get-to-know-you talk were up, and it was time to get naked. Thankfully, Ribinik knew what she wanted from each shot, and she confidently directed me from pose to pose—telling me where to put my arms, how to tilt my head, and when to really push my butt out.

I'd usually take my nudes on my bed or in my bathroom, but Ribinik made use of everything from the couch to the wall. I quickly realized how easy it can be to get creative with posing and scenery, and I tried to make mental notes of everything I was experiencing.
Finally, I took everything I learned and tried to apply it to my own not-so-nude “nude” selfies.
Before long, the moment of truth arrived: Would this effort I exerted to educate myself on how to take hot nudes actually result in hotter nudes? I whipped out the notes app on my phone, tried my best to recall everything I’d learned from my shoot with Ribinik, and got to work.
My first move was to revisit the photos from my shoot with Ribinik and to recreate some of the poses on my own (see my attempts below, complete with fun names from yours truly). I also drew inspiration from my moodboard, though that mostly helped me get in the nude photo taking mood.
When it came to doing, well, pretty much anything else the photographers had taught me to do, I failed. Abjectly. The monster that is laziness reared its ugly head, and I paid little attention to lighting, scenery, or getting in The Zone.
I took my nudes at night, so natural light wasn't an option. (I compromised and positioned myself near some not-so-natural light sources—namely, lamps.
This mostly sufficed.) I also failed to clean my room before the shoot, which is downright embarrassing. I am adult enough to understand the import of a clean living space, and I'm also adult enough to understand that a vacuum cleaner does not add value to any nude photo. Apparently, though, I'm not adult enough to act on either of these notions.
As far as mental preparation goes, I stuck with the makeup I was already wearing, skipped doing my hair, and didn’t put on music—mostly because I just didn’t feel like exerting the extra effort. And as for outfits, well, ain’t no way I’m putting my naked body on the internet for all to see, so I stuck with yoga gear. (For what it’s worth, though, I’d be down to wear several of the outfits from my professional shoot in future nudes.)
Oh, and let the record show I have zero idea how to use my cell phone's self-timer function, and I'm way too lazy to figure it out. Selfies—awkward posing and all—are my bread and butter. So rather than aiming for perfect replicas of my boudoir photos, I adapted them as best I could.
Now for the good stuff. Here’s my attempt to put all my newfound boudoir knowledge to use:
1. The nonchalant seated pose:

This is the first pose Ribinik had me do in our shoot. I love that it’s a casual introduction to what’s to come.

Turns out, my arm isn’t long enough to capture my entire seated form in a selfie, so I ended up hunched over with my knee crowding the shot. Not sure I’d try this one again, but someone with shorter legs might have better luck.
2. The coy, “I’m just lying in bed” pose:
Professional:

This pose was hard to hold—I’m basically planking on a bed!! I'm not the kind of person who does planks!! (Revel in this moment, because the only reason I'd ever subject myself to this is for the art of the nude.
)

This is one of my favorite selfies from my DIY experiment—I actually like it more than the professional shot. This photo sends an oh-so-casual signal to the recipient that yes, I’m in bed alone, and yes, I look hot as hell.
Bonus: My body is largely hidden from the shot, so the only thing I had to control was my face. And I didn’t have to do a plank in my adaptation.
3. The semi-erotic, closed-eye pose:
Professional:
Courtesy of Evgenia Ribinik
This is something I wouldn’t have come up with on my own. And since my eyes are shut, I didn’t have to worry about my face doing something weird—always a plus.
Most Popular
Ribinik told me she often instructs clients to avoid eye contact with the camera at the start of her shoots. Instead, she asks them to look down, glance into the distance, or tilt their heads back with their eyes closed (sound familiar?).
Staring down a camera lens can be intimidating, and this helps people adjust to the environment.
DIY:
Courtesy of author
My selfie didn’t come out quite as well as the professional shot, but it still looks kind of erotic. I’d try this one again, but wouldn’t rely on it as much as some of the others.
4. The artsy, “admire the curves of my body” standing pose:
Professional:
Courtesy of Evgenia Ribinik
Most Popular
This is hands-down my favorite photo from my shoot with Ribinik. It’s artsy and interesting—and not at all what usually comes to mind when I hear the word “nude.”
A quick tip: In our interview, Mednik recommended I highlight the curves of my body by arching my back, popping my hip, or pushing my butt out. And I'm doing exactly that in this photo. It felt a little awkward, but it definitely paid off.
DIY:
Courtesy of author
I tried to recreate this one at home, but once again, my arm failed me.
So I adapted the pose and took a mirror selfie, instead.
I generally like the way the shot turned out. But I forgot to shut my closet door before snapping the pic, which put a damper on the final product.
5. The equally artsy, “admire the curves of my body” lying down pose:
Professional:
Courtesy of Evgenia Ribinik
Most Popular
This one is just. So. Pretty. Plus, all I had to do was lie on a bed and look down—my kinda pose.
DIY:

OK, so I had to modify the original with this one. There was no way in hell I could get my face, full body, and both arms in a selfie. And as you can see from the slight blurriness, I had trouble stabilizing the camera even after the modification. Let me tell ya, simultaneously stretching your arm, art-directing your image, and focusing your lens is no small task.
Still, I’m pretty happy with the way this one turned out.
All I had to do was lie down, keep my face out of the shot, attempt to snap a full-body picture, and voila—sexy photo. (Pro-tip: If your face is doing weird shit, just crop it out.)
6. The “oh don’t mind me touching my lip” pose:
Professional:
Courtesy of Evgenia Ribinik
Most Popular
This one was so easy to pose for. I just touched my lip! That was it! Plus, I really like the way it turned out.
DIY:
Courtesy of author
Somehow this was impossible. I couldn’t figure out what angle Ribinik used when shooting the professional photo, and every time I tried to mimic it, I dropped my phone on my face! Such a bummer.
Also worth noting: Ribinik told me a lot of people tend to hold tension in their lips. I didn't realize how real this was until I was in a high-stress (well, as high-stress as a DIY nude photo shoot can get) environment trying to take a photo with my mouth in it.
I thought back to something she'd said to me both in our interview and on-set: "Keep your lips slightly parted, and breathe through your mouth." This tends to lend emotion to photos, and it keeps you from stress-pursing your lips.
7. The elbows up, arched back pose:
Professional:

Most Popular
Let's be real, guys. Figuring out what the hell to do with your arms in a nude photo is no small task. Do you saucily plant your hands on your hips? Do you leave your arms dangling by your sides? What. Is. The. Answer?!
My gurus had a couple thoughts. Mednik told me I could use them to conceal parts of my body, revealing my form little by little—photo by photo. Ribinik took a different approach. She had me pose with my elbows up, which was way more interesting than anything I could've come up with on my own. Needless to say, I'm into this shot.
DIY:

I had to resort to a mirror selfie for this one, but I don’t mind it.
I think the pose is interesting enough to carry the shot—look at me doing something interesting with my arms! (Let's pray I remember to clean my vanity next time, though.)
8. The hand in hair close-up pose:

More arm inspo. I'm here for it.

The selfie version of this pose is more sensual and intense than the professional one, which feels a bit more casual to me. Still, I like both of them a lot. (Yes, I know my elbow looks a little weird. But I'm serving up a #look with my face, so I'll take the trade-off.)
Oh, and as you can probably tell, I had a hard time lighting this one—a downside of subtituting lamps for natural light.
9. The “about to rip my clothes off” pose:
Professional:
Courtesy of Evgenia Ribinik
One of the biggest pieces of posing advice Ribinik had for me was to "do what I'd normally do—but do it way more aggressively.
" Apparently, it makes your poses looking more passionate. And this photo is a great encapsulation of that tidbit.

From where you're sitting, it probably looks like I'm trying to tear my bodysuit off. But I'm not. I'm literally just holding my neckline. But like, a little more intensely than I normally would.

This worked a lot better in the professional shoot, mostly because I was wearing something with a V-neck (way easier to feign pulling in opposite directions than, say, my leotard). The selfie definitely didn’t come out as well as the professional shot, but I’ll probably try this pose again in the future without a crew neck.
10. The zoomed-out butt appreciation pose:

I love my butt, and I’m a sucker for any pose that accentuates it. This pose hurt my back after a while, but it was #worthit.

Once again, I had to resort to a mirror selfie to get the full effect, but I actually like my DIY shot a whole lot. Obviously the professional shot is better, but my modified version got the job done.
11. The very zoomed-in butt appreciation pose:
Professional:

This photo is wild. I couldn’t believe it was me when I first saw it. It’s the result of bent knees and an uncomfortably pushed out derriere, but the seeming awkwardness of the pose clearly paid off. (If you want to recreate this, find a wall, bend your knees, and stick your butt out as far as it will go. Then push yourself to stick it out a little more. Imitating Kim K. ain't easy, y'all.)

I tried recreating this one from several different angles—none of them quite right.
Still, the inspiration is clearly there, and my butt looks like the peach emoji. (Which, like, what more can you ask for?)
In the end, I learned that taking a nude can be as simple as snapping a mirror selfie and moving on with my life. But getting creative with it can be a whole lotta fun.
Playing lingerie dress-up is entertaining. So is fooling around with different poses. And making a moodboard. (You never know when you’ll have the nude-photo-taking equivalent of writer’s block, right?) I’ve learned that it’s OK to experiment and take tons of different photos, and that when it comes to my face, I should just breathe. I also now know that while I can get away with less-than-stellar lighting, nothing can obscure a vacuum haunting the background of a shot.
Finally, I’ve learned that nudes don’t have to look over-the-top incredible; looking like myself can be (and often is!) the best course of action. Of the shots Ribinik took, my favorites include ones where I’m just lying down or doing something nonchalantly—not overtly trying to be sexy.
Because those are the photos in which I look the most like myself, and that’s kinda the point of a selfie anyway, right?

More from Self21 poses for a glamorous nude photo shoot
We live in a modern informational world where topics such as "fashion", "glamour" and "sexuality" are often discussed. And often, these topics are raised too often. As a result, the boundaries of what is permitted and acceptable have expanded quite a bit. And today, nude glamor photos have become very popular.
There are specialized studios where photographers work together with make-up artists and stylists to provide their clients with a kind of “modeling” experience, taking so-called “glamour” photos. nine0003
The popularity of such photos is growing, and this is not surprising at all, many girls and women want to try on the role of a model, with different looks, make-up and dressing up. There are several things besides lighting, clothing, hair and makeup that can significantly affect the final result, this is, first of all, the ability to pose beautifully, correctly and naturally in front of the camera. This is what distinguishes a real model from just a pretty girl, and it is with this that we want to help you today. nine0005 We present to your attention a selection of wonderful poses for photographing a glamorous photo shoot.
1. A good pose to start a glamorous photo shoot. The pose works well in a variety of settings, such as lying on a bed, on the ground, in grass, or on a sandy beach.
2. Another version of the lying position. Looks good for a girl of any physique.
{module Yandex direct (7)}
3. Really good pose. Shoot from below. Ask the model to lift her hips a little and tilt her head down a little. The toes are extended. nine0003
4. The posture seems simple at first glance, but the position of the body should be carefully monitored. The hand that supports the body should be turned away from the body, the stomach is drawn in, the toes stretch forward beautifully. The body is tense, but this should not be visible in the photograph. It is best to use this pose with athletic girls.
5. Another difficult pose. In order to beautifully photograph a girl in this position, the photographer must monitor all parts of the body - arms, legs, stomach. Make sure that the stomach is drawn in, and there are no folds at the waist. nine0003
6. Beautiful outdoor pose. Ask the girl to make a bend in her back and stretch her legs.
Sensual and sexy pose.
7. Beautiful posture lying on the ground. The upper body should be slightly raised, with the model looking over her shoulder. The pose looks great with girls of any physique. Try to shoot from different angles, gradually moving around the model, so you will find the best angle.
8. An easy and simple way to emphasize a beautiful female figure. It also looks beautiful as a silhouette against a bright background. nine0003
9. A beautiful pose often used in painting. The variations are endless, you can change the position of the arms, legs, head turns.
10. Light and gentle posture. The model must sit on her knees, not fully resting on her legs. Looking over your shoulder.
11. A simple but wonderful pose. Works well in various conditions: both in nature and in the studio. Also suitable as a silhouette when shooting against a bright background.
{module Yandex direct (9)}
12.
Absolutely gorgeous pose if all conditions are met. Proper positioning of the legs and arms is critical. Works very well with all body types. Also note that the frame is taken slightly from above.
13. A very difficult posture, the position of the legs, is a decisive factor in achieving a good result. It looks beautiful only if the model has high-heeled shoes.
14. Simple and comfortable posture. Make sure the model's face is three-quarters visible. The gaze is directed to the body, or to the side, conveying a romantic mood. The raised elbow should not point towards the camera. nine0003
15. Very feminine and gentle pose. Don't forget that a glamorous and nude photo session does not preclude the use of some props. Sometimes you can use one item or accessory and play with it beautifully. In this case, the model is elegantly covered with a sheet.
16. A good version of the pose near the wall. Various body position variations are possible.
17. Full length shot near the wall. Again, various variations are possible with the position of the arms, legs and head. nine0003
18. Full length shot near the wall. One of the options.
19. Exquisite pose for slender girls with an athletic build. Many options are possible. Ask the model to arch her body into an S-shape, rotate her hips, and change her arm position. In this case, you can ask the girl to dance slowly and smoothly, and at this time you will catch the most successful moments.
20. Another way to use fabric. There is a huge field for experiments and games. Such photos look very beautiful when shooting outdoors, in windy weather. nine0003

Rules for creating sexy photos
You can take erotic photos anywhere, but to make them really high-quality, you need to follow a few basic rules:
- The mirror is your friend
The mirror is excellent a tool to achieve impressive results in an erotic photo shoot.
You can practice proper posing in front of him and find out what angles suit you best. Or take some sexy shots with it while controlling how you look. nine0003
- Lighting
Natural lighting is always better than artificial lighting, so try taking pictures at different times of the day. Pose so that the light source falls on the face and body from different angles. Good shadows will help you look slimmer.
For more sensual photos, try dimming the lights or light a few candles, decorative lights. The main thing is that the photo should not be too dark, otherwise it will be impossible to see anything on it.

Assess the environment and make appropriate adjustments, such as wiping down the mirror, putting away scattered items, or closing any open cabinets.
- Attire
You don't have to undress to get a cool erotic photo. But if you decide to take a nude photo, then make sure that there are no traces of underwear on your body (it looks ugly). nine0003
If you don't want to be naked, pick some outfits that make you feel the sexiest. It can be a long T-shirt and cotton panties, elegant lace lingerie, silk stockings and high heels, or a bodycon dress that emphasizes the dignity of your figure. Yes, even a business suit is fine. Just unbutton a couple of buttons and lift the skirt up a little.
- Processing
Test several different filters to find out which ones work best for you. Just don't overdo it. Your photos should not be extensively edited or photoshopped. And you don't have to smooth out every single wrinkle or speck of yours. Still, these minor flaws make you individual and not like everyone else. nine0003
Special effects for home erotic photo session
You don't need expensive equipment to create great photo effects.
You can use what you have at home.
- Water: A few drops of water sprayed on the belly and thighs create a stunning erotic touch in the painting.
- Ice Cubes: not really suitable for use in the frame, but can help to create it, for example, to harden the nipples - it looks very sexy. nine0097
- Oil: A small amount of oil can make skin radiant - a great photo effect that can remind you of passionate sex.
- Makeup: Apply make-up for a more dramatic look. For a classic sexy look, try false eyelashes, black eyeliner and bright red lipstick. Use foundation to even out skin tone.
If there is an open cleavage in the frame, apply a little contouring between the breasts to highlight this part of the body. nine0003
- Props: The right props can really create the look you're aiming for in a photo. Shiny earrings or a scarf around your neck will accentuate your face, a long chain or necklace will accentuate your chest. A teddy bear will add cuteness to the photo, and a pillow will hide your nakedness.
Banana, lollipop on the shelf and ice cream may seem cliché, but it's sexy as hell!
Feel like a model
The key to a good and sexy photo is not only a naked body or a spectacular pose. Everything is much more complicated and interesting. These men are not accustomed to bother: he took a member in his hand, sat on the bed and sent it to the woman. A “professional and aesthetic” frame is ready. The fair sex approaches their photo shoots more responsibly. nine0003

In addition, the studio will have the right lighting and a good camera. In such an environment, a woman's self-esteem rises, and she feels like a real model.
You can also shoot at home. The main thing is not against the background of the carpet. You can take wonderful photos even with your own phone. It just takes a little practice.

Don't be shy if you decide to take nude or lingerie photos. A guy who likes you will not focus on the possible flaws in your body. He will see the whole image and will only think about how to remove everything superfluous from you, and immediately be in the same bed.
You need to enjoy the process of shooting. Pick the right position and then the problem of possible imperfections will disappear by itself. Create the right lighting to make your body look even more aesthetic. In combination with the right angle, your nudes will create the effect of an exploding sexual bomb. nine0003
