"For every photo that looks ok, I've got at least 30 that look horrific. Patience is probably key!"
Patience definitely is key, Sometimes you gotta relax too, because when I try to hard always comes out differently in my head than the actual pic! |

"Most people are the sexiest when they aren't trying, just take the photo 😊"
⬆️ Do what she said, just do it over and over again and pick out the good ones, pro photographers work like that too |

"We love our photography. Tripods are a must of there's only two of you and lighting for shadows or definition depending. Oh, and a very hot lady. That helps."
Haven't quite mastered lighting yet, can get tricky |

I do videos and then take screengrabs.
A bit of blurring in the background, adjust exposure contrast, fiddle with the lighting, working out which poses flatter your shape the best.
For every 5 minutes of video I get maybe 2 shots 🫣🤣. For every 500 posed pics I get maybe 1 I like.
It’s all smoke and mirrors - and it’s one of the reasons when I was meeting I insisted on a video call |

"There should be a place on here where you can upload your 'bloopers' pics/vids. A bit like, 'It'll Be Alright on the Night'. Nice to have a giggle. "
I love the idea but in reality it would just attract trolling. |

"Love to take sexy pics but I've never been that confident about my body so it's always been an issue "
Find a pose you feel comfortable with. Google for ideas. There's loads of boudoir photographers giving tips |

Me neither. I’ve had to push myself a lot to put pics or vids on here. I add a pic then often refuse to look at them again, behind the sofa 🙈  |

"I either use a timer on my phone or a Bluetooth remote when I'm taking pics.
The remote is best because you can just keep clicking away as you pose..x"
This. And get a budget phone holder.
Or invest in equipment or ask someone that has.
Good luck. We love the art involved. |

Also try "snapseed" for android. It's free and great. And an easy way to get an arty look is to crop your image. |

I don’t have the patience or inclination to spend ages taking a photo of myself because it’s impossible to judge myself fairly.
I do however love the art of posing, of directing someone.
I have amateur profiles on adult folio and purple port but I’ve not shot for a while!
If anyone wants some no strings amateur help give me a shout.
I also think the dynamic of one person being clothed, in control while the other is undressing etc is very sexy. I think that’s where my CFNM interest developed |

Definitely lighting (I like window light from one side) and a clean background first and foremost. Then posing. As a CD who likes to show off my lingerie, albeit a masculine one, I naturally gravitate towards more feminine poses (hips out, legs and feet en pointe as it emphasises their shape and flatters the upper body too).
It's remarkable how many men pose in such a lumpen graceless way considering they're mostly attracted to women, who usually do it naturally.
My pet peeves are contextless genital closeups (men and women). That's just anatomy and usually badly done, it's not photographing the person. I get that many can't show their face for discretionary reasons but it beats me why they won't show at least most of their body. It's a sex site people, try and be sexy; feel it, show it.
Also arm's length wide angle selfies doing duckface? Not for me sorry! The most instant way to make somebody who's otherwise attractive, ugly. |

"Take 100 pics of the same pose and hope that 1 of them is decent enough to edit and upload. "
Alternatively, search the Internet, spot a great photo of someone fit, press Ctrl+S and then upload it!!😇 |

"Video yourself in whatever poses/positions then screen grab the shots you want. Much easier than taking individual photos."
This is something I do. Though ended up just posting the vid this time 🤣 |

When you are in the zone and looking at something you admire and learning how to see, really see - or as my hero put it....
And this light upon it was strengthening still further its imposal and embrace, and in about a quarter of an hour would have trained itself ready, and there would be a triple convergence in the keen historic spasm of the shutter. I helped get the camera ready, stood away watched what would be trapped, possessed, fertilized, in the leisures and shyness which are a phase of all love for any object: searching out and registering in myself all its lines, planes, stresses of relationship, along diagonals withdrawn and approached.....  |

If I have a new outfit, that I like, I tend to do a short video holding a few poses and then screenshot ones that look good.
I just check the background is free of clutter.
I dont take too much time thinking about lighting, maybe I should  |

Could definitely do with someone who's good with a camera take better pics. of me because most of mine are terrible. Maybe that's simply down to object matter, mobile phone used, lighting, etc...!
Believe most of us would gladly welcome a professional with a decent camera to help take better pics...! |

A bit of window light, maybe a half-parted curtain so that the room is more dark than bright, really adds contrast and shape to a body photo. Not direct sunlight though, that's usually too harsh and contrasty. |

It's perfectly possible to take good pics with a phone. I think it's that pros have a better understanding of light and modelling than most that makes them, not the gear itself. |

The mistake was uploading that picture of David Beckham in his bodywork advert for H&M - they realised the abs were not yours  |

Somebody here gave a very good advice I would love to share.
Pose for a video not too long, play it, pause if you like what you see, and take screen shots. Use the filter tool to turn the pic warmer, colder, contrasting, or B&W
Very effective and simple |

It's kinda funny how art and photography can be entirely subjective, a photo that evokes awe in one person might leave another feeling completely indifferent.
I don't like some of my pics. but others seem to like, they see what I don't. No different to what makes it on the pics / vids hot list. There are some pics. which are just beautiful without the person even posing for the shot "natural beauty".
There's definitely something incredibly special about a photo where someone is just lost in the moment; whether they're laughing, looking out a window, or enjoying the scenery. |
