How To Shoot Nude Photography (NSFW)
Sep 8, 2015

Cooph and pro photographer, Greg Gorman, have teamed up to put together this collection of invaluable tips for nude photography (I guess some of them apply to other types of photography, too). To make the video clip, they set up in a 600-year old castle located in Austria, which makes for a pretty beautiful setting.
Take a look at the video, then scroll through some of the images Gorman captured during the shoot using the very tips he’s sharing.
Use Reflectors To Bounce Light

Use Windows For Hard Light & Nice Contrast
Be A Confident Director
Use Oil To Enhance Skin, Shape, And Form
Be Open To Changing Up The Original Plan
Walk Around The Model To Find The Best Angle
Adjust Your ISO To Conquer Low Light

Thanks for sharing, but found it a little odd during the first section where he talked about connecting with the model. It looks like they are in a tight space, she’s nude and he’s about 12 inches away. When I’ve worked with nude models, I never get this close, especially during what I thought was the “connecting ” stage. Later, you often get close so that you can share the images, etc, but during the connection stage, it’s about building comfort and you do that by not invading personal space, nor have the model nude, without her robe. I am a big fan of Greg’s work so I am guessing that what I am thinking is a mistake is very likely an editing mistake in the selection of this segment of tape. I really appreciate getting to see this video because there are some really great suggestions.
I don’t mean to sound like a dick, but I’d rather take advice from somebody who has better nude work. Not particularly impressed.
When it comes to nudity,…as long as she is nude, I don’t think most guy cares. :D Damn that artistry, hotter girls is what we ask for…
