Taking pictures is to capture light. Is that right away ... just look at this photo:

is a picture of "natural", which seems easy, anyone could do, though, well thought out, if they had the model I do not think that had the head for the photo, of course, never enough admire the work of photographers sacrificed.

Observe the rays of the sun on his back and his left hand. Take away the imagination and you will see a very flat picture.

For those games are the light we seek. The human body has a surface and a volume that we all know. We must "break" in some way, we shock the viewer out of the routine.

And for that, first thing to do is turn off the flash.

And secondly, think of the picture, the effect we seek. The picture is no longer the "memory of a time." The picture as an end in itself. We took the picture not to remember we were in the Plaza Mayor of Valladolid, take the picture because in the Plaza Mayor of Valladolid sun filtered through the arcade.

And if, as not all the photos "will come out well," the there will be black women, there will be whites, there will be moved. But there will be good.

So, off the flash, which kills the shadows, and if you kill the shadow play of light kills, kills the reliefs, leaving white areas of skin without any interest that the memory of the moment. If you want to see the face of Aunt Filomena Luisito's wedding if it is better to have the flash, but if what you want is to photograph your loved one, apagadlo.

Another example playing with light and shadow

Now imagine this same photo with a flash on the camera (if the flash is dangerous, in the chamber is a murderer), the black vertical line now has the arm to the hip, black line that outlines the chest on one side and the back and ass on the other, would be transformed into a lighted area, leaving the shadow tits and ass!

So, first recommendation, grab the camera, flash off, you become close to a window, and I fotografiais hand, for example, the arm (the arm hair, the sun may be perfect), ensuring that the skin in front the lens is dark. As the photo above model here.

For example, imagine that the sun coming through the window and hits a chair. In the arm put the arm, and we have: sun at the top, upper arm to the sun, bottom of the shade. We put the camera so that the center of the photo out in the shade. For the transition zone of light shade of the arm is what we seek. You can look good or not, but testing will see. The machine will beep possibly nervous, say you want flash, which will threaten to move ... not the case. Throw the photo shoot at one, five, ten, fifty. Moving the camera around the arm, turning angle changing and taking a picture of each bit. It's not like being fifty photos, we do not like the delete.

Another exercise is to try to play with shadows and lights on the body, like the first picture. For this we need a store of sheets, Luxaflex type (so called or called in Spain). If you have perfect photo shoot for the couple to the siesta, his body alternately in light and shadow. Eye stripes across, not perpendicular to the body, we are photographing a person not a zebra!

And if you have no store, but you have shade, also serves. Let go a streak of light that illuminates the breasts, or ass (well, or arm, or back, or eye, an ear, which has transparency).
