When doing nude photography shoots, it’s important to get the best model for the job. The shot seen here features a young woman named Ander. I’ve worked with Ander many times over the years and have always been happy with the results.
This image is a good example of how models have certain personality types and why it’s a good idea to take advantage of their strengths. For example, if you’re looking to shoot a lighthearted and casual set of pictures, Ander probably wouldn’t be the best choice . However, if your goal is to capture images that convey a sense of sultriness and sensuality, she’s the one for you.
This points out the importance of casting the right model for the job. Most likely, you’re going to be shooting many different styles of images. It’s important to give some thought to the type of model who will work best within the parameters of a particular type of shoot.
As for the specific image seen here, it’s a good example of the importance of strongly intense eye contact. Additionally, this shot benefits greatly from the curve Ander created by leaning strongly on her right hip. This simple move provides added impact to an already impactful photograph.
Quick Tip: Something as minor as the slight curve of a hip can mean the difference between a good picture and a really good picture.
