Composition

As you are probably aware, BBW & BHM Models on other sites have assistance taking their photographs. They concentrate on poses while a photographer makes them look great!

There are benefits from having an assistant, you can get different camera angles, full size/body shots, take multiple photo's to choose the best one out of and so on..

You may have someone willing to photograph and assist you, but if not, there are ways to make sure you are getting good quality photographs that contain a variety of different shots and poses to make it more interesting for the viewer!

Burst Shots: This is when you take multiple shots in a quick succession. You press the shutter button once and it will usually take around 10 pictures or so in one go. You can slightly change position and choose the best picture.

Timers: You can delay the shutter by adding a timer. So once you press the shutter button it won't take the picture or start recording the video for 2, 5, 10 seconds. This gives you time to put yourself into position within the camera frame. This is especially handy if you want to take full body shots as our arms only have a limited length. Set the camera or phone up, and then walk back or lay down in the desired position to get more of yourself in the shot!

Selfie Sticks: These little things are fantastic, not only are they easy to use, but super cheap as well! A selfie stick will allow you to extend the distance from the camera device and yourself, allowing a wider frame for you to work with. This means you can get more of yourself in the shot, and also have a greater variety of angles to take your picture from. You can use the front or reverse camera to take your pics/ videos. The reverse camera is usually the best as this allows you to see yourself so you can get your pose just right.

Tripods: Really handy for pictures and videos! Tripods keep your device steady and in one position which will limit the amount of any motion blur. Do remember that using a Tripods your picture frame is fixed, so make sure that you have a clutter free background and good lighting. If you are taking a video.. it also means you are hands free giving you a bit more freedom of movement rather than having to hold the recording device. Or course you don't need to get an expensive tripod, or a tripod at all.. Resting your device on a still and solid surface at the right height will also have the same effect, just make sure your device is secure and won't fall!

I think you are all ready for your close up's now! ^_^
