1st Pool shoot of the summer

Behind the scenes of Sharrisa’s pool photo shoot with Todd Youngblood. This shoot was something that I just had to get out of my system. The pool has been accessible to me for years and doing shoot by the pool had not been a big deal to me. But this summer i felt the urge after seeing the inviting sparkling blue water and the area nearly vacant. So i set off to get a few fancy pool floats, and made a post for a few models and here is the outcome. Victoria, Sharissa Bain and Manuela Sakic all did an amazing job!

Tips and tricks on swimsuit photography
Written by: georgewalter

Swimsuit photography can get a little tricky sometimes, however, using these few tips and tricks we’re about to show you herein below should make things move much more swiftly and with ease.

1. PROPER LIGHTING
Lighting, undoubtedly, had to be the next important thing we needed to mention. Without proper lighting it’s extremely difficult to produce a great picture. Manipulating natural lighting and then combining that with supplemental lighting methods and techniques such as the use of strobes, reflectors and scrims will take your swimsuit photography shoot to the next level. Always ensure you test your lighting by taking a few random shots to make sure your lighting is just right
2. LOCATION
Swimsuit photography does not have to be something exclusively for the beach. You can do it anywhere that will generally fit your shoot settings and requirements. Embrace a wide range of shoot locations and diligently learn everything you can from each place. Vacation homes, rustic marinas and dry river beds are some of the few places that still give a great surrounding for swimwear photography besides the beach. Expand your horizons.
3. LET YOUR MODEL EMBRACE THE ‘S’ CURVE
The S curve is when a woman shifts her weight onto one side and then tilts her shoulders down to the side with the extended hip. It’s used to show the flattering, feminine shape. Most great swimsuit models use this technique time and time again. It makes for a great picture, especially when swimwear is involved.
Let the swimsuit fit the models personality as well. This improves confidence which in turn allows her to produce great poses.

A bit about Swimwear Photography
Written by: marvintana

Swimwear photography sometimes tends to be a daunting task especially since a lot of it is done without paying attention to the finer details. This may even be worse for people that are not comfortable with their bodies as the pictures may appear unnatural. Here are some tips that will help you take beautiful photographs.
First of all, it is important to get the right lighting. The number of bad shots that come as a result of poor lighting is almost infinite. One should make sure that they are away from overhead lighting as this is going to create some bad shadows all over your shot. Therefore, the photographs should be taken somewhere with where the sun is at its lowest point or simply just take the photographs at sunrise or sunset. Despite all this you also do not want the lighting to be just flat so make sure to scout for the perfect place before taking some photos.
It is also good to carry a reflector as they come in handy in filling shadows. White or silver reflectors will reflect the same color temperature light and this is perfect for sunset or sunrise when there are changing conditions. It is important to choose the right color reflector because you do not want to ruin your beautiful shot with weird colors.
Using a flash could help you take good shots in the middle of the day when the sun is overhead. The flash adds a balanced tone to the skin and dispels the shadows. It might be better for the camera to be closer to the model as the flashes are not always so powerful in the midst of all the sun. The shot is, however, bound to come out amazingly.
It is important to have some natural movement when being photographed. You will look comfortable in more believable. Being rigid creates an unnatural look that will destroy your shot even after all the effort that has been put in to create something perfect. Patience is key.
Lastly, make sure you have a great swimsuit. Find something that perfectly fits you, brings out all your unique features and is comfortable. You want to boost your confidence and feel like prettiest person around and what better way to do this than with a perfect swimsuit. It is clear that capturing the perfect shots require some effort, so go out of your way to set everything up and you will have a photoshoot of a lifetime.
