How to take perfect nudes – advice from porn models
How hard can it be to take the perfect nudes? Pornstars and models do it all the time. Even your ex had very good shots. Still, it takes some skill to turn a regular photo into an arousing yet artistic nude picture. So, I’ve put together some advice from photographers, porn models, and generous people on the Internet who have shared their experiences on the topic.
Let’s face it, the simple fact that you are naked does not always make a photo good or sexy. You will need to do more than just snap a dick pic if you want to be a model or turn on the person you want to hook up with.
Equipment for perfect nudes
Don’t worry, you do not need to have a professional camera and expensive gear to take good pics. Any phone made in recent years will have sufficient camera quality. What you might want to consider are additional gadgets.
In case you have a pretty big smartphone (the one that you can’t hold firmly with one hand), you may often drop it while posing. So, a PopSocket or a selfy stick can be of use. Also, a tripod will let you get some great angles. “Any device that can hold your phone in place is also great for getting an upward angle, which is bad for selfies but great for butt pics,” says Sofia Barret-Ibarria, sex and culture writer. The upward angle can also be good for dick pics, as the dick will seem longer. And if you want your photo not to look like a selfie, you can use a Bluetooth remote button. That way, you can place your phone on a stand and take a shot from afar.
The perfect lighting and background
Everyone will tell you that natural lightning is the best. It seems most, well, natural, unlike the yellow shade you get when you use a lamp. Still, direct sun rays can sometimes mess with your photo. So, you might want to put on some semi-translucent curtains and try posing next to different windows at a different time of the day.
Using a LED ring can spare you these troubles. LED light is similar to natural light, and you can point it wherever you need it.
Another thing to keep in mind is to avoid taking pics in the bathroom. The light is usually not ideal, and, honestly, no one wants to see your shower curtain and toiler tank in the background.
Speaking of the background, take a few minutes before undressing to tidy up your room. It really ruins a good photo if there are dirty socks and things scattered around the floor.
Clean up
You will want to look your best for taking perfect nudes. Besides finding the best angles and poses (I’ll get to that later), two things are very important. First, a bit of manscaping won’t hurt you. If you don’t like shaving everything, you can at least trim it.
Secondly, get that cock up! You are trying to look irresistible and strong, and a flabby dick won’t seem so impressive. However, you don’t need a full hard-rock boner; a semi-hard cock will be enough to show what you have.
Strike the perfect pose
All the preparation and gear won’t do you much if you feel awkward in front of the camera and don’t know what pose to make. Your pose and angles will depend on the part of the body you want to highlight. Not every nude photo has to show your dick. There are other attractive body parts, such as ass or toned muscles. Personally, I can’t resist a strong, muscled back.
I’ve already mentioned that your booty will look extra juicy on an upward shot. Or, you can lie on your stomach and take a shot over your shoulder. For the best body full body shot, Levi Carter suggests flexing your abs and squeezing your butt. You can also do a full body shot from behind by using a full-size mirror and include both ass and back in the photo. The mirror can be your best friend because it will let you see details you normally wouldn’t so you can correct your pose.
Keep in mind that you don’t always have to show your entire body in one photo. The arousing effect can be even better if you focus only on certain parts. Plus, it takes more work to find an angle that can make your face, ass, torso, and cock look good. So, it’s better to focus on one of these.
Plus, it can also be sexy to just tease with your nudes. Take a shot of your torso with just a hint of your pubic area visible. That will inspire many horny ideas and create the desire for more.
How to take a dick pic
If you want to highlight your dick, you should make sure that the photo doesn’t look careless (which most dick pics do). To do so, you should find the best angles.
In case you are confident about the size of your cock, there is no need for any tricks to make it seem bigger. And there is absolutely no need for “casually” placing items like a phone or remote control for comparison. It’s untasteful and will make you seem less confident.
On the other hand, if you’re not really well-hung, you can use right angles and framing to make it appear larger. But don’t go overboard if you’re sending the photo to your dates – you don’t want him to have too great expectations and be disappointed when you hook up. Anyway, to make your cock look bigger, don’t hold the camera too far. Instead, make your cock the main thing on the photo by taking the shot from up close.
Flirt with the camera
There isn’t a model or actor that hasn’t heard this one yet. “When I was a young fetish model, photographers used to tell me to look at the camera like I wanted to fuck it”, says Tina Horn, a writer for Allure. This advice applies not only to straight fetish photos but to any nudes. You know how there’s something so compelling with POV porn? The eye contact brings the viewer and the person on the screen closer and makes everything more intense. Well, it’s the same with the nudes you take. So, you can pretend that your phone is your partner and that you want to seduce it.
Perfect nudes don’t come naturally
It takes more than just being naked and snapping a photo for the perfect nudes. Whether you want to start modeling or you just want to improve your sexting sessions, knowing how to take the perfect nudes is vital. These tips can help you avoid boring shots that depicture random bare body parts and instead take sexy photos that can tingle imagination.
