Ok, firstly let me apologise, not really too sure where to put this thread in, but it involves another person... so here could work?

Basically,i'm looking to do so 'saucey' pictures as a kinda present for the missus... and really just wondering for any ideas that you wonderful people think would be really hot.

Any ideas that just involve me and stuff around the house would be great :)


If they turn out alright, may even post some on here too ;)

thanks again everyone.

Hey,

I don't know how much experience you have with a camera, but the greater part of good erotic photography is plain good photography.

You might want to check out this link for camera basics:
Camera Basics
and this one for basics in compisition:
Taking Pictures

Common problems with erotic photos people take around the house are bad lighting, bad framing, terrible settings, bad posing, and flash. Bad lighting leads to murky, funny-coloured pictures. Try taking pictures when sun is pouring through your windows - and turn on all your lights. Bad framing is obvious (eg., half your head is missing). By terrible setting, I mean taking a picture in your nan's living room while she's on vacation, or having all your Pokemon collectibles in the background. Try to have as little unsexy or distracting shit in the shot as possible. It should be about you, not about the "Inception" poster you have on the wall. Flash will make you look ugly, unless you know how to use it well. Generally speaking, flash + naked body = autopsy pictures. Just sayin.

As for posing, look at some pictures of naked men. I'm not saying you need to exercise your 1% gayness, but look at some pictures of guys with your body type and duplicate the poses until you get a feel for things. (If you want site suggestions I've got some, but they're pretty gay. So I'll leave that to your discretion.)

Personal tips: B&W tends to look art-y, colour is more likely to look porn-y. If you have a proper digital SLR, use it on a tripod. Use a wide aperture so there's low depth-of-field and the focus is on you - not foreground or background objects. That will also increase the light in the picture and soften the image (meaning it'll look less like an autopsy photo). Take the pictures in places where you and your girlfriend spend time, and not just in bed. Take some on the couch, in the kitchen, and definitely in the shower. If you have a waterproof digital camera be sure to take some shower pictures. Everyone appreciates a hot, wet, naked body.

Good luck!

erratic gave great ideas, but dont ever speak ill of "Inception" :tongue:

a lot of it depends on your camera...i dont have the ability to change the aperture or shutter speed on my digital camera...most newer digital cameras have a ton of settings, so take time to play around. mine has a specific setting for portraits, one for indoor, one for outdoor, one that takes 2 pictures consecutively one with flash one without, etc...there's a lot of different options, so just try different ones til you get a look you like.

natural light is the best recommendation, but i dont know if your neighborhood would appreciate your curtains being fully open.

is it totally out of the question to have someone else take the pictures? even if you're not going to a pro, at least you know you wont have to worry about cutting off your head, or have to set up a tripod and all.

Where ever you take your pictures...please make sure the room is clean...from floor to ceiling and that includes glass items. Nothing I hate worse than seeing clutter in peoples pictures and spotty mirrors or windows... *grrrr It just takes away from the sexy.

Haha. Well, I'm sure it would be better to have Inception as part of your needless clutter rather than Transformers 2 or some shite like that. ;D

Of course, the idea of having someone else take the pictures is a good one. That being said, since these are for a loved one you want to be sure that she won't be upset about who took pictures of you naked/hard/cumming. You know, like her best friend, her mom, your ex.
