Please follow these rules and advices to produce good photos. The more usable photos you shoot,
the more money you can earn.
|
Obligatory rules for photos...
If you don't follow these obligatory rules we won't be able to use your photos
|
-
Maximum resolution
-
Set your camera to the maximum resolution. If it's a 6 Megapixel camera, set it to 6 Megapixel. If it's a 10 Megapixel camera, set it to 10 Megapixel.
If you can choose between "4:3" and "16:9" format please use the "4:3" format. Don't use a camera smaller than 6 Megapixel.
-
Maximum quality
-
With most cameras you can select the level of JPG-compression for storing the photos on the memory card. The lower the compression the
better the image quality. So please set the camera to the lowest JPG-compression (i.e. to the highest image quality). This setting is
often called Superfine or SHQ or similar.
-
Use RAW format, if possible
-
If your camera allows you to shoot in RAW format, please do it. If you have a DSLR please set it to RAW format.
-
Never process the photos yourself
-
Just copy the photos from the camera's memory card without altering them. Don't use a graphic program. Send the photos in its original format. We can read all RAW files.
-
Horizontal format only
-
Shoot all photos in horizontal format (landscape format). Never turn the camera 90 degrees to shoot vertical photos (portrait format),
even if there's a lot of free space on the left and right side of the model. We won't use vertical photos at all.
Important: Make sure to keep the camera strictly horizontal, don't tilt it to the left or right.
-
Wide-angle only
-
Shoot all photos in the wide-angle position of the lens (i.e. 30mm to 45mm focal length according to normal 35mm film).
Never zoom in. Never shoot with telephoto-lens (more than 45mm).
For close-ups do not zoom in, but go closer with the camera itself, keeping the zoom lever always at the wide-angle position.
-
ISO 100 or 64
-
If you use a digital compact camera you must set the ISO speed manually to the lowest possible value. Mostly this is ISO 100. Some cameras also allow ISO 64.
Higher ISO speeds (200 to 400) will make the pictures noisy and unusable.
Please note that this doesn't apply to DSLRs. With a DSLR you can use ISO speeds up to 400, with newest DSLRs probably up to ISO 800.

Important advices...
|
-
Always shoot in bright light. Daylight is the best
-
The quality of the photo depends on the surrounding light. More light will result in better quality photos.
Whenever possible please shoot the photos outdoors in bright daylight, this gives the best results.
Direct sun is even better, so whenever you can choose between a darker place (e.g. under a roof or tree)
and a sunny place nearby please use the sunny place for shooting.
Make sure to have the sun in the rear of the photographer, not in the rear of the model (otherwise you'll get bad reflections in the lens).
And besides, it's very nice to look at naked breasts presented outdoors, our members do love such photos :-)
-
When photographing indoors
-
If you use a digital compact camera do not shoot in the evening or night, when the room must be lit by artificial light (e.g. light bulbs).
Shoot only during the day and have the daylight flow through the room by opening the curtains and jalousies. Try to get as much daylight into the room
as possible and additionally use the flash. Set the FLASH MODE to "Fire Always" or "Auto". Switch off any light bulbs.
This way you're mixing daylight and flashlight, i.e. the room is basically lit by the daylight and the flash must only
help illuminating the model correctly. This mix usually gives good results.
If you use a DSLR you can shoot with artificial light, but do not use any normal light bulbs.
Use two 500W halogen-lamps (the cheap ones with a tripod, often found in garden or tool shops).
Direct one lamp up so that the light is reflected by the white ceiling (so you have a general lighting of the room) and direct the other lamp
as a spotlight on the girl from a corner of the room (not too close).
By setting the DSLR to ISO 200 or 400 you can probably shoot with 1/30s to 1/60s, which gives good results too. Make sure to have absolutely no
daylight in the room when you use artificial light.
With a DSLR you may also use two external flashlights instead of two 500W halogen-lamps.
-
Never mix artificial light with daylight/flashlight
-
Do not use light bulbs (or other artificial lights) together with daylight/flashlight, as this mixture results in terrible coulour casts.
Please use only one of the following possibilities:
a) "Artificial Light Only" (e.g. 2x500W halogen-lamps). Make sure to have absolutely no daylight in the room.
b) "Daylight Only". Make sure to have absolutely no artificial lights in the room. Switch off all light bulbs.
c) "Mixture of Daylight and Flashlight". Make sure to have absolutely no artificial lights in the room. Switch off all light bulbs.
-
Pay attention to the auto-focus
-
Most cameras have a two-stage shutter button, which means
1) First press the shutter button only halfway to focus. Now wait until the camera has focused properly (often indicated by a green light).
2) When the camera has focused properly press the shutter-release button all the way down to actually shoot the photo. If you press too early the photo
may get blurry.
-
Hold the camera still. Hold the model still
-
Hold the camera absolutely still when pressing the shutter button. Also the model should not move when actually shooting the picture.
Any slight movement of the camera or the model causes blurry photos.
-
Pay attention to the shutter speed
-
In general: The faster the shutter speed, the sharper the picture. Slow shutter speeds are critical. Never shoot with shutter speeds slower than 1/30s.
Shooting with 1/20s or 1/8s will make the photos blurry and unusable.

About the content...
|
Basically there are no rules for the content of the pictures. You can choose any
pose or scene or dress you like (just think of what YOU would like to see
on an adult site). But still please consider the following suggestions:
-
Much variety
-
It's great if there's much variety in the pictures. The more variety, the more pictures we can buy. Some ideas:
- Change clothes every 70 to 100 photos. Don't shoot hundreds of photos with the same outfit.
- Tight clothings look best. Get much variety by having the model wear many different outfits, like various tops (blouse, shirt, tank-top,
tight sweater, jacket ...), various skirts, jeans, miniskirts, business costumes and other sexy outfits (nylons, high heels, tight panties).
Generally women do have a lot of various clothings :-)
- Shoot at various places (e.g. indoors, outdoors, in the car, on a park bench, on the beach, in the kitchen, etc.)
- Change the perspective often. Don't just stand in front of the model shooting dozens of pictures from the same viewing point. This looks boring.
Vary the camera distance (e.g. shoot a close-up, then step back for a distant shot, then go a bit closer again, and so on),
vary the viewing angle (e.g. shoot from above, from below, at normal height, and so on),
vary the position (e.g. shoot a side view, from behind, from the front).
"Explore" the model's body with your camera.
-
Don't have the model be naked all the time
-
Shoot all aspects from fully clothed to topless. Also doing a slow striptease looks great.
-
Don't shoot just "Head And Breasts" photos
-
It's boring to constantly have to watch the upper part of the model's body only. Please photograph all aspects of the model's body including
her ass, belly, thighs, legs. It's great to watch a curvy body.
-
Let the breasts often hang freely
-
The model shouldn't fumble her breasts all the time. We've got many complaints from our members about models constantly holding and grasping
their breasts with their hands. Please let the breasts hang freely at least in half of the photos.
|
|
|
Beware of the following mistakes...
|
|
Never have a bright light behind the model, if the camera is set to AUTO exposure
|
If the camera "is seeing" a bright light (for instance a lamp or a bright window) the AUTO exposure will darken the picture
and the photo gets unusable. So make sure that bright lights are always in the rear of the photographer (so that the camera doesn't see them).
If you are an experienced user you can set the exposure manually so that the camera isn't disturbed by bright lights in the background.
|
|
Bad.
The bright window on the right side darkens the picture. To avoid that turn 180 degrees so that the bright window is in the rear of the photographer.
|
|
|
Avoid wasted space. Have the model fill the entire picture frame
|
|
Always use the entire picture frame. Have the model fill the picture frame either vertically or horizontally.
It doesn't make sense to have wasted space above the model's head. Always move the camera down until the model's head
touches the upper edge of the picture frame. It's better to see more of the lower part of the model's body
than a useless background above the model's head.
|
|
|
|
Bad.
There's wasted space above the model's head. The camera should move down.
|
Good.
There's no wasted space above the model's head. The camera has moved down until the model's head touches the upper edge of the picture frame.
|
|
|
|
Bad.
There's wasted space at the top and at the right side. Don't photograph like that.
|
Good.
Move the camera down and left until the model fills the picture frame. It's much better to see the thighs instead of the grey wall.
|
|
|
Don't just stare into the middle of the LCD. Check the edges
|
|
Many photographers just look into the middle of the camera's LCD monitor and don't care about the edges. Therefore they're placing important
parts of the model's body (head, breasts) right into the middle of the picture frame.
This results in bad picture compositions with wasted space (see examples below). So before actually shooting the picture always check the edges of the LCD
to notice wasted space and slightly move the camera to get a good picture composition (i.e. no wasted space).
|
|
Bad.
The photographer has just stared into the middle of the LCD, and therefore he placed the breasts in the middle of the picture frame.
He didn't notice the wasted space on the left side. That's bad. It would be much better to move the camera slightly to the right
so we can see the model's beautiful ass rather than some useless trees.
Always check the edges of the picture frame to notice wasted space.
|
|
|
Here are another four bad examples. The photographer hasn't checked the edges of the picture frame and therefore didn't notice the wasted space:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bad.
There's wasted space at the top.
|
Bad.
There's wasted space at the bottom.
|
Bad.
There's wasted space at the left (and top).
|
Bad.
There's wasted space at the right.
|
|
|
Don't just press the shutter button fully down. Compose the picture first
|
|
Always use the following two-step procedure for shooting a picture. This procedure is called AF Lock:
|
|
|
|
First.
Point the Autofocus at the subject to focus on (usually the nipples). Now press the shutter button halfway and wait until the camera
has focused properly on the subject. Mostly this is indicated by a green light or green frame around the Autofocus point.
|
Second.
While keeping the shutter button pressed halfway compose the picture, i.e. move the camera slightly up/down or left/right until the model
fills the picture frame. When the model is nicely placed inside the picture frame press the shutter button
from halfway to fully down to actually shoot the picture.
|
|
|
Don't cut off the lower edge of the breasts
|
|
Always make sure that the lower edge of the breasts is visible. People want to see the
entire curve of the breasts.
|
|
|
|
Bad.
The lower edge of the breasts is cut off. Don't shoot like that, but move the camera slightly down.
|
Good.
The lower edge of the breasts is visible. This gives a good impression of the breast's curves.
|
|
|
Beware of dark backgrounds
|
|
If the camera is set to AUTO exposure it will try to get a good average exposure for all subjects visible in the picture (background and
model). The larger the subject the more it will influence the exposure metering. So
if the background is dark the camera will brighten it up and the model will get too bright (overexposed).
|
|
Bad.
Due to the dark background the camera brightens the picture and the model's breasts get overexposed (too bright, no details visible, just a plain
white area).
To avoid that either
- set the exposure manually, or
- go to a another place, or
- turn to get another background, or
- set EXPOSURE COMPENSATION to "-1"
