• The human body is art, and a nude portrait is a great way to capture its details and nuances.

Tip

The model should remove any tight fitting items of clothing, (e.g. socks, belts) at least 30 minutes before shooting. The marks they leave on skin show up even more on film.

Also, if this is the first time that you are working with this model, work up to the nude shots. Start with some practice shots with the model fully clothed & gradually ask her to disrobe.
