Slightly saucy photographs.....

We are totally broke this year for christmas and I have only got DH a little pressie...

Also, Ive lost loads of weight recently and I think i look ok...

Also, as i used to work for Ann Summers I have loads on nice underwear, expensive basques and stuff...

So... I have decided to take some nice photos for DH as a pressie - Nothing rude or porographic, just showing a bit of cleavage and thigh..

I think the light in my room is too harsh though so was thinking of using lots of candles...

How can I make things 'look better'? (cover up stretch marks and make cleavge look better) Ive seen them on tele brush bronzer or something across the top of the chest?

We have a didgital camera and photo printer so thats not a problem and my sister will take the pictures for me tonight..

Good idea / bad idea?

Any tips or hints on how to photograph better?

Definatly not Porn photos!! just nice, hopeful a bit seductive ones...

i went into a photo booth and flashed my boobs, does that count?

YEs NDP - you had to rely on a polaroid before that! Oops, did I say that out loud?!

NomDePlumPudding · 23/12/2005 15:14

boots will do.

NomDePlumPudding · 23/12/2005 15:15

LOL @ polaroid. It'd have been cheaper to have a professional studio session than to use bloody polaroid film

Dont have any boots either! (only flat ones that im wearing at the moment) I am more of a trainers person. Dh will be so shocked as although I have tons of nice underwear i never wear it (well i do wear underwear but just normal stuff!)

Will have to borrow some boots or shoes from somewhere (probably my sister as her Xdp had some wierd foot fetish and bought her loads of shoes!)

LOL, Tamba... there was a call out for hairy handed truck drivers, so.....

Personally, I might go for slightly darkened room, so you can allow natural / artificial light to add detail / interest to the shots. (Not the you'd need to add interest, but YKNWIM !)... Shooting near a window is generally v. good.

Also, try some b&w ones, they can add a certain pzazz.

Props can enhance the pose / setting, making the photo seem a little more natural IYSWIM.

Camera flash will probably give a 'startled deer' look which you might want to avoid, LOL.

Try different angles / camera low or high, held at an angle etc.

Oh, and if you still have waist length hair, you can use it, erm, 'artistically' - you know, hide / frame assets, pmsl... it's what you don't see that often is most interesting !

And above all: Have fun !

OK... back to the beach for me !!!!!!!!!!!

PS - If you have manual settings on your digital camera, dial up the ISO film speed to allow you to shoot in darker indoor settings, and try and keep still, LOL !

OMG Hub Why am I soooo embarrassed to see you on this thread!! LOL

I have no idea what the camera does - I only bought it a couple of days ago and im not sure how good it is as the piccies we took of ds's nativity didnt turn out to well. Its a HP Photosmart E217/E317 what ever that is. I dont know if it does black and white or manual whatever it was

I still have the long hair! I was wondering what to do with it Now I shall try not to be thinking of you when taking saucy piccies

As a man - would you be pleased if your dw gave you piccies for christmas? Or would you be comparing them to proper piccies of scanitly dressed women and feeling a bit hard done by?

LOL.

Sounds like a great pressie, am sure he'll love it.

I was shooting dw and dd on a cliff top the other day, at sunset (as one does, LOL - I'm in California), and took some pictures of a woman and her boyfriend who were there at the time. One 'head and shoulders' shot came out particularly well, with the woman side on to me, but her head turned 3/4 round to look at the camera IYSWIM. She also had long hair, so this was kind of in full view to the side / behind. Came out very nice.

I'm sure the camera will be fine. Take LOADS of shots so you can just pick the best.

Surely something like Photoshop will do wonders for stretchmarks...

DH is a photographer and was asked by a friend of ours last year to take some tasteful-but-sexy pics for her DH. She and my DH were both initially embarrassed but soon got over it (I went along too as I thought it would make it easier for both of them!)

Anyway, he got some really nice shots in black and white of her; close ups of her closed eyes, the criss-cross back of her lace-up basque thingy etc. He also got a couple of good ones of her reflection in a mirror, that sort of thing. All the pics were a bit grainy - almost blurry so you can't see anything OTT!

Anyway we go them mounted and framed for her so they looked extra tasteful and her DH loved them. I think they're now hanging in their bedroom. Don't think my DH is keen on pursuing a career in erotic photography though, poor love!

I'm only 21 and would still look pretty grim even in a basque. Hope you have more luck than me
