How to take great nudes
> A guide to looking—and feeling—good naked
Jessica Berget
Staff Writer
Fredy deserves to feel good
naked, no matter your weight,
height, gender, race, age, or any of the
other socially constructed concepts
that are attributed to beauty standards.
Nudes are fun and sexy, and there’s no
better way to boost your confidence
than taking pictures of your stunning
self as naked as the day you were born,
whether they're for your own amusement
or youre consensually sending them to
a partner. For those days youre really
feeling yourself and just want to capture
the hot babe you are, here are some tips
on how to take some bomb nudes.
Lighting is essential: It is the make
or break factor of a quality nude, so
make sure you have good lighting. Bad
lighting adds unnecessary dimensions and
shadows to your face and body, so try to
use as much natural lighting as possible.
Snap some pictures near a window to
make use of the daylight shining through.
If you do not have good lighting available,
or you are taking your photos late at night
(as many do) take your photos in a well-lit
room or make the most out of your nudes
by angling your body and your camera to
make the shadows work in your favour.
Angles matter: The right angle can
make a world of a difference, so play
around with different positions and angles
with your body and camera. The classic
mirror nude is always an easy go-to for
me. If you are having trouble deciding on
a pose, try the contrapposto pose. In art-
related terms, this means positioning your
body so that your full weight is focused
on one leg and the other is relaxed.
This pose makes it so your hips and
shoulders rest on opposite angles, giving
a slight s-curve to your body, making
you look like the work of art you are.
Location, location, location: Nothing
kills the vibe in a good nude more than
a messy room or an un-flushed toilet
in the background, so be aware of your
surroundings. Also, don’t limit your
nudes to your bedroom or bathroom.
If you're really feeling awesome that
day, snap some pictures while you're
out, perhaps in a dressing room, ora
restaurant bathroom. There’s never
a bad time to take a good nude.
Add an accessory: Including
something like a necklace, cute
underwear, or a shirt being pulled
up can add a sexier, more personable
element to your nude. Spraying
yourself with some water can also
add a nice sheen to your body.
You should feel great no matter
what, because you're a hot babe with
a hot body that you have every right
to enjoy and share with the world—or
keep all to yourself. Either way, feel great
while you're letting it all hang out.
