Whether you want to shoot female models as your wife, your girlfriend, a friend, a sister or your neighbor, there are some useful principles to sublimate them (which is often demanding).

Firstly it is important to free yourself from any discomfort!

Although the equipment – cameras, lenses, film, filters – is important in the process towards a good picture, it is equally important to understand the subject. The photograph must ask himself what he expects from a photograph, the problems that can sustain during a shooting, the best way to illuminate the model and to highlight its most interesting features while hiding those less so.

For example you may wonder: how to make a portrait in the guise of a sweet woman, feminine and romantic or sensual and aggressive..

With lighting effects you can bring life and vitality to her look, make her mouth attractive or longer legs. How to make it appear thinner or more “rounded”, how to make her skin smoother, softer, more tanned, paler, her hair shiny … In short, a woman has a thousand reasons to be beautiful and radiant in front of your camera, you have to trust yourself and put the model in the center of your attention.

Creating an atmosphere that is frivolous or serious is an important part of the photographer. The hair and makeup will also bring an important touch to the image depending on what you are trying to achieve. Accessories like a veil, hat or motorcycle will enhance or attenuate the atmosphere established.
