There may be an opportunity for me to do a nude photo shoot (Iâll find out more today) and as Iâve never done anything like this before (not even portrait photography) I am wondering what kind of shooting style I should use. Is it more advantageous to use a âfree formâ and ad lib style, like a fashion shoot, in which, I allow the model to assume different poses spontaneously, and where I take different shooting positions as I see fit, or should I set up a more definitive set where I know exactly what Iâm aiming for with each image element in itâs prescribed place? They both sound like attractive options to me, how can I decide which to use?
Also, if I do go with a free-form style, how should I set up my lighting? I will most likely use two 500W halogen work lights with umbrellas for soft light and hopefully some kind of spotlight for back lighting. Any ideas of how I can rig a homemade spot light?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Here is a suggestion: Turn the heat up wherever your going to do the shoot. Goosebumps don't turn out well in photos ;)

Neither do elastic marks, so you should have your model wear loose clothes without elastic on the day of the shoot. So no socks, bras or panties.
You can make a snoot with a metal plate and a small diameter tin can with both ends cut from it. Use metal, plastic and paper will either melt or burn.

There was an article in one of the photo mags last month...lemme check.
Popular Photography and Imaging (January 2004)
"You Can Do It: Eric Boutillier-Brown reveals his nude photo how-to secrets"
It was a good article (page 28). Included some beautiful shots too.

Yup, good article. The photographer is actually from the same home town as me: Moncton, New Brunswick.
