How To Prepare For A Glamour Beach Shoot

The business of nude glamour photography is a varied one. Those who will look at the images don’t want to see the same thing over and over again, so it is important to provide some variety.

While the indoor studio can offer different angles, light levels and props, many of the best shots can be done al fresco, not least in settings like forests or on the beach, ideally in secluded spots where you won’t be seen except by the photographer and any others involved in the shoot.

Going to the beach brings some practical considerations. Photographers need to know how to use natural light well, without the image being saturated by the glare of the sun on a very bright day.

However, that is just the start. You also need to take into account a variety of conditions. Clearly a cloudy day is less attractive and a rainy one a non-starter, while a windy day can mean you get sand all over you and on all the photographic equipment, while your hair will end up out of place.

It is also important for everyone involved to consider their safety, and this applies when on a shoot just as it would if you were going to the beach in your bikini.

As ever, you must be vigilant when barefoot for debris like glass or pieces of sharp flotsam and jetsam, slippery stuff like seaweed when shooting on rocks, and jellyfish. A first aid kit is a must, just in case.

Finally, if you are doing a lot of shoots like this, make sure you are well protected against the sun. It is vital to be aware of the risks of skin cancer, especially if you have a fair complexion.

After all, you may have a successful career doing modelling shoots, but you want to be able to enjoy the financial rewards and long life over many more years when your career is over.
