Editorial Nudes

My Ideal Nude Model For Photography

I Still Haven’t Found Her, But I’ve Come Close

Unfortunately for photographers, when it comes to finding that great model for nude photography, we live in a world of shapely clothing where what you see in person isn’t always that same person au natural. However, great photographers can work with just about any physique, though the ideal, nude model physiqueis often preferred by top professional photographers, when it comes to capturing editorial or fine-art nude photography. While a “pro” normally knows what they are looking for in “nude model qualities,” many photographers, especially beginners do not.

Jessi poses in the doorway admiring the modern day technology that includes a "fireplace channel" on the Sony television.

While many photographers will associate these ideal nude model qualities with health and fitness, there are models who are just born with natural genes that dictate great talents, though they are the exception. Regardless, if a model is fortunate to have these ideal qualities, it’s still a photographer’s responsibility to capitalize on them by using the proper lighting, composition, camera angles, lens selection, etc., and following the fundamentals, principals and basics of photography.

Fiery Nudes

Capturing Fireplace Flames

This photo of Elizabeth was inspired during the recent Editorial Nude photography workshop. She was illuminated with flash.

It’s no secret, to create a photograph, you need light and normally photographers rely on either, or a combination of, ambient, artificial, natural or existing light. (For a complete explanation of the differences of all four, please see this post: Natural, Ambient And Existing Light in Photography) Great photographers tend to use one form of light predominately than other sources to establish their photographic style, and only venture off into other forms of light when required by a client and still others, known for a specific form of lighting in their style, will delve into other forms to create a new body of work.

Here lately, I’ve focused more on ambient light than artificial, especially when it comes to nude photography. Perhaps it’s the inspiration I’ve gained by spending more time studying the work of the legendary Helmut Newton and the inspiration that I get from my mentor Robert Farber and his painterly style of nude photography—often lit with ambient light.

Motivation Of A New Nude Model

Never Force Nudity As An Issue

Starri posed during one of my Virgin Islands photography workshops.

Not everyone likes their nude body publicly paraded around to the world—and thank goodness, as not everyone maintains their bodies worthy of public exposure. I say the latter light-hearted, as not everyone can control their physique as much as they’d like too, but most all of us understand beauty and the beauty of the human form. So as a photographer, it’s not uncommon for me to question why a model will pose nude, or even consider nudity in photography—in fact, I tend to discourage any new model from posing nude if they haven’t done any nude modeling in the past.

I’m sure many are wondering, how is that possible if you photograph nude women? Simple, I will play Devil’s advocate with any model that has never posed nude to ensure it’s really something she wants to do—as once they’ve posed nude, especially if they’ve signed a model’s release for public exposure, there is no turning back. With that said, I do my damnedest to make sure it’s what a model really wants as we all have done things we later live to regret and I certainly don’t want the fingers pointed at me anymore than anyone else, on why a model removed her clothes for the camera.

Lust and Pain (French Edition)

These sado-masochistic pictures by Belgian photographer Guy Lemaire transport us into another, highly erotic dimension of lust: Look at me. I am your divine slave. I am the nude virgin. I am the sin of pain. Baptise me with this tenderness that you engrave upon my skin, with these thousand needles that pierce my flesh. You look at me, you implore me. I know that now the point of my heel will crush your flesh until tears of gratitude gush forth. We know that the songs of leather play at the end o
