12 EXAMPLES OF SENSUAL PHOTOGRAPHS (PURE INSPIRATION)
12 EXAMPLES OF SENSUAL PHOTOGRAPHS (PURE INSPIRATION)
The sensuality or the ability to attract people, be it physically or emotionally, is a visual challenge. It is not easy to portray something that is based on the senses, which seeks to move us or make us feel explicitly but at the same time subtle, elegant and at the same time natural, sweet but not innocent.
Sensuality is not easy to portray, because it is the sum of many things, of many ingredients in their proper proportions. Because a little too much from here or a little too much from there, turns a sensual photograph into something else. The line between the sensual and the grotesque or the sexual is sometimes very very thin. It is a matter of good taste and knowing how to set the necessary limits. Oh, and of course, it's a matter of practice, trial-error; and of inspiration. The first I leave in your hands, the second I serve you today with some images that I hope are inspiring
1. ELEGANCE AND SENSUALITY
Never forget that sensual photographs should be elegant and suggestive . Staying on these principles will keep you "safe" from falling into images of other styles.
2. THE LOOK
You know what the look is the mirror of the soul. If you intend to convey sensuality, your model should feel confident, safe and calm. Thus his gaze will convey that self-confidence that we often associate with beautiful people, which in turn we associate more easily with sensuality.
3. THE POSE
A relaxed and natural posture is usually the most advisable for this type of photographs, although the variety is the taste. You can find someone very sensual doing the pine, but come on, it is not usual At the time of choosing the poses, it is very important not to forget that there is a very fine line between sensual and sexual, eye with what you are looking to show.
4. DETAILS
Playing with the most sensual details of the body you are portraying usually gives very good results. It is part of the essence of sensuality, suggest more than show, play with certain areas or daring frames, let you glimpse without teaching, suggest without being excessively explicit.
5. APPROACH
Surely the close-ups or the detailed plans are not something you can throw yourself from good to first, but probably, if the weather of the session is pleasant and you are breaking the ice little by little, there will come a time when approaching you will not be inconvenient, and you can take more intimate photographs than with more closed plans.
6. BLACK AND WHITE
And we can't talk about elegance without including some black and white image, don't you think? Of course it is not mandatory, but it is advisable that you do some of it thinking in black and white , elegant and sensual where there are
7. DOES NOT DISTINGUISH SEX
While it is true that sensuality is usually associated more with femininity than with masculinity, and that we usually find many more feminine images than masculine images, that does not mean much less that the masculine gender is “separated” from this type of images.
8. STRIVE TO CREATE A GOOD ATMOSPHERE
To obtain spontaneous images it is essential that you break the ice with your models, that you get them to feel relaxed and confident. A forced image is easily perceived and causes you to lose all possible sensuality.
9. USE ADD-ONS
Lingerie, high heels, necklaces, shirts, and everything with which your models feel comfortable and free in their "sensual role" will help you express yourself in the image.
10. DON'T FORGET YOUR FACE
Not only does the body radiate sensuality, the face is equally important and suggestive, don't forget to include a portrait in your selection.
11. SYMBOLOGY
Not only do we perceive sensuality through a body, we can also do it through symbols that inspire us sensuality.
12. LIGHTING
The way we illuminate an image is essential because it causes the same image to transmit completely different sensations simply by changing the angle of light and the type of lighting.
