Things to remember (Patreon)

I shot this in the Airbnb I had booked. I had never met her before, but I did feel I could create some better images than most of the ones she had.

A couple of common mistakes that are obvious to me but not to everyone:

When working with women with short legs, you crop the images or shoot from below, ideally with a wide-angle lens, as this will elongate her legs.

Second, if the model has bad skin or a rash, fix it. It’s not that hard (if you have seen my model retouch course, you know how).

In short, see if you can correct all the perceived “flaws” many women have either photographically, with light, or in editing.

It’s a sure way to have models love you.

One other thing (which to me is second nature) is making the model stand out: Some old flemish masters wrote that you should ensure that a dark object was placed on a lighter background and a lighter object on a darker background.
I suppose this is a good example where I do both at the same time.
