Are you interested in posing for nude photography?

It’s not as easy as stripping down and taking pictures. Like traditional photography, there’s a lot of factors to consider. A wrong pose could ruin the theme and it might not look as sexy as desired.

Don’t fret if you don’t know how to pose or what you need to get it right. We’ve got a few tips below to help you get started. Keep on reading to learn more:

Use a Mood Board

To learn how to pose for nude women photography, build a mood board first. It can be a traditional corkboard with ideas pinned on it or a digital folder on your PC, filled with images that inspire you. The important thing is you have a good library of ideas, ensuring you aren’t going into the photoshoot blind.

Focus on pictures that exemplify the kind of poses and ambiance you want. Take examples of poses you want to emulate and keep them in your mood board. This will help set the stage for you when you get in front of the camera, much like a shot list works for a photographer.

Start With Popular Poses

Got a mood board? Great, but now you need to prioritize the poses that work. Look for the most common poses and practice with those.

For example, start with a pose that emphasizes the curves of your back. Try an overhead shot or one with you lying down with your legs raised on a footstool. Take a shot with you kneeling on the bed or leaning against the wall.

If you got a partner, why not venture into nude couple photography too? This opens the doors for even more poses to experiment with. (pawsitivelyintrepid)

Clothed Preparation

It takes time to get comfortable for any photoshoot, let alone an erotic nude photography session. Take your time then and get in the mood. Take thirty minutes to an hour and start with practice poses, even with all your clothes on.

Slowly take off your clothes as you get more comfortable. You might find the right pose, position, lighting, or prop to snap the perfect shot.

Include Props

You might have nothing on but that doesn’t mean female nude photography has to be plain and boring. A few props could accentuate the sexy ambiance and further set the tone for the photoshoot.

For example, try taking a shot with heels on. If you’re lying down, bend your legs so you can pull on your panties with the heels. This creates a seductive image even when the shot doesn’t include your face or upper body.

It’s playful and naughty yet still mysterious.

Grab a glass of wine. Try to keep the glass upright even when you arch your back or raise your legs. Not only does it help with posing but it can make you feel sexy too.

You can replace the glass with an apple too. Posing while biting down on it is a simple but provocative image.

Take a Moment to Relax

Can’t seem to get the right pose? Do you have one in mind but can’t do it right? Take a moment to relax and think it through.

Photoshoots can take hours so don’t try to rush through them.

Take a moment to consider every variable. Is it how you pose, was it the lighting, or the angle? Can a prop create the image you want or should you approach this particular pose from a different perspective?

A sexy nude pose requires you to feel relaxed and sexy. If you feel stressed out, lie down and just rest. That resting pose might even be the right one to get the ball rolling.

Does It Hurt?

Always stop if the pose causes any kind of pain. Sexy nude photography isn’t worth it if you have to suffer through extremely painful poses.

Expect to feel sore and have a few aches. After all, you’ll pose for hours.

However, you shouldn’t feel a sharp pain in your joints or muscles. The moment you feel something sudden and painful, stop and reevaluate the pose. Identify the cause of pain and see if you can work around it.

Get a Mirror

Another good way to play around with your poses is to work in front of a mirror. Now you’ll get a better visualization of how you look. It’ll help you determine which areas to work on and whether or not a pose works for you.

If you want to get creative, try taking shots of your reflection. Pose in front of the mirror and take a shot from behind, capturing both you and the reflection in one gorgeous photograph.

Adding a mirror also allows for creative lighting and photography. You’ll need to experiment with how you pose and how you position the camera to get the right shot.

Consult the Experts

When in doubt, call for nude boudoir photography experts. Not only do they have the tools for the trade but they do this as a living. This means they have the skills, knowledge, and experience to help you learn how to pose.

Ask for an opportunity to take traditional nude photos. You can then try to replicate these shots at home.

Experts, like the folks at Glamour-photography.net.au, can help you identify which poses make you look sexy and comfortable. Don’t hesitate to work with professionals before focusing entirely on a DIY portfolio.
