and desire play an important part of female figure photography as
this is the motivation behind any great photographer. By harnessing
this energy, you can get extremely creative and even make a living
doing female figure photography.
Harnessing desire just means delaying gratification until later.
For instance, it is recommended that you hit on the models either
after or near the end of the shoot, so that you get the pictures
first before you see if she puts out. If the model is willing to
go along with your advances, then fine. If not, you still have the
photos.
Another item to find out in female figure photography is not only
what figure the model charges per hour in order to pose before the
camera, but also, if she will sleep with you is this a part of an
hourly or day rate or, gulp, gratis? This is an important consideration

of female figure photography.
If she gives you a figure that is too high, remember to use your
negotiation skills. A little friendly persuasion will go a long
way in female figure photography to get the pictures and get the
girl at the end as well.
Female Figure Photography Tips
The most important tip in female figure photography is setting
the right mood. Choose a secluded location for the studio that is
away from wife and children. Play soft music and have a bottle of
wine on hand for a new or nervous model. Share the wine with the
model as most likely she doesn't like drinking alone.
Take it slow with the build up of desire and banter. Make more
and more suggestive remarks as the session progresses. Get the pictures
and lock film and cameras away in a safe in case the model become
irate at your advances near the end of the session. Call a taxi
since she will most likely not want you to drive her anywhere anymore.
Do a preemptive strike with your wife and tell her about the "big
misunderstanding" with the model.
These are the basics to female figure photography and you will
do well to heed them.
