How to Take Better Dirty Pictures, aka "Mikey's Guide to Photographing Naked babes
.".
OK, ignore, if you can for the moment, the fact that his subjects are both naked and pornographic. What Mike gives us in this article, is a nice, simple guide to quality portraiture.
There are only four ways to shoot indoors: 1: By daylight coming through the window. 2: Room light (letting the lamps and overhead bulbs do the job...the photos usually come out soft and blurred, but the effect is often dramatic and artsy. It also softens the model and can be quite flattering. 3: Direct in-camera flash. This is the only flash option with a point-and-shoot camera. The results usually look amateurish but can be used to make harsh revealing studies as well..never flattering to the model! 4: My fave: bouncing an adjustable flash unit off the ceiling. This creates a good overall light that imitates studio lighting and allows you to shoot fast with good exposures and captures any action without blurring. 90% of what I shoot is lit this way.
Some great advice from a seasoned professional.
