(Continued from The Dummies Guide... Part 2) Nipples and the Parting of the Red Sea
Much like a dart board, breasts seem to gain importance the closer to the center you travel. In fact, unless all or part of these dark pigmented circles of malleable flesh are apparent, most folks don’t even consider it a decent tit shot. As such, both the photographer and the model need to take special care to insure that some nipple and/or areola make each shot. They can be bent, folded, compressed, fricasseed or whatever your heart desires. The more fun the merrier, just as long as they can be seen in a very clear sort of way.
When using your hands, take care to keep your fingers clear of the bullseye. If the nipples are the focus of tugging, pinching, and twisting, make sure to expose as much rosy color to the camera as you can.
If the shot is being taken from the front, apply whatever brutal constriction you or your model have decided upon from above, below, or from the side at the base of the areola, not from the front. When taking shots of stretched nipples, shoot from a side angle so that the actual stretch can be seen, and have the pincher insure that as little fingertip action blocks flesh as practical. The same holds true for clips, clamps, ties, vices, jumper cables, etc. Apply these with the most darker flesh available as practical, and shoot your shots accordingly.
Not only is color a must, but texture is supremely important to making a good shot a real barn buster. Erect nipples are a must, and generally the crinklier the areola, the better. Although imaginations are wonderful things, there is a considerable difference in expecting your viewers to believe that they are Fabio bearing the dreaded nipple clips of doom and asking them to imagine that the pair of flat unappealing glossy nipples, shining out at them from their monitor, are turgid, throbbing, and ripe with anticipation of their upcoming torment.
Keeping the room temperature down helps a lot, not only with bright lights, but with uncooperative nipples. And always have some ice, a cold rag, or a pair of lips handy.
After all, we all know that, beneath the fifteen extra pounds of spare tire, the shining pate, or the failing vision, there lies hidden in every man, heaven’s next gift to women. That’s no miracle; all men will quickly buy into that. Trying to get hot over unappealing floppy boobs with glossy nipples will only remind most men that it’s easier to go mow the lawn then to part the Red Sea.
Leave Some Material for the Other Guys
As long as we're discussing the importance of certain colors and textures in our images, keep in mind that including some of the sheets and pillows, or part of the stained two-by-four cross and the polished leather manacles, in your images along with the model’s gorgeous bod are all part of a well rounded image portfolio. Taking shots which include the model, the entire bed and silk canopy, the back wall decorated with three Picasso rip-offs, and the majority of the city skyline through the bay window on the opposite side of the room pretty much defeats the purpose though.
Although many of us are proud of the elaborate sets and wonderful assistants that we've assembled for our various shoots, including as much of them as will fit in the camera's view finder makes for less than millionaire-making material. Confine your shots to the target. Although the majority of your shots needn’t be so close to the mark that, to the untrained eye, it might give the impression that you're looking at a contour photo of the moon rather than at your model’s nipple, taking photos with an eye toward being near enough that texture is apparent would certainly be a good idea.
Variety is good, so vary the distance and angles of your shots from establishing types of shots, that might contain a full length image of your model and any restraints, to close-ups of her bodaciously bound breasts and nipples. And "vary" means just that. Don't move the camera 1/10 of an inch with each shot. That's lazy.
Remember, binoculars and breasts work well together if you happen to be gazing at some topless beach from the confines of a hotel room near the top floor of the Cosumel Hilton.
Having to use them in hopes of getting a decent view of the breasts in the images on the monitor, though, should send a clear signal that your shots are being taken a bit too far from the target.
So leave the extraneous panorama stuff for the professionals at Better Homes and Gardens, Southern Living, or National Geographic. That is, unless you're planning on using your images as a marketing tool to sell binoculars.
The Happy Victim and Swamp Land in Florida
“Spank me!” “No, spank me!” “No, spank me!” “Spank me!”
Although Monty Python was definitely on to something with their cloistered nuns in the movie “Monty Python's Holy Grail,” a lot of women aren't so eager to undergo the types of Cro-Magnon ravishing that you will be converting to pictures. Though there are a lot more kinky models out there than you might suspect, show me a modeling agency where the majority of your subjects will be supremely happy to have their breasts and nipples really tortured, and I’ll show you some lovely swamp land in Florida.
The price is great, by the way.
In many cases, your photographs will be simulations. You won't actually be torturing your models so much as stretching their limits a bit. O.K., really stretching their limits at times. Any way you hang it, it's vital that you and the lovely subject of your lenses remember that you are selling experiences that are not generally pleasant for most gals. In the very least they're a bit frightening.
If your images constantly depict pearly whites beaming from between glossy lips, proving that your model is happy in the knowledge that her tits are supplying her with her next Maserati, then you're missing the boat - and any car that you might be hoping to buy as a result of your newly aborted future multi-million dollar web trade.
In the same way, staring at the camera is an obvious give-away. Women in pain, or in ecstasy for that matter, don't give much of a flying flip about where the camera is. In point of fact, folks, there isn't supposed to be a camera. The shots you're taking are supposed to be of a woman tormented, either goodly or badly, and not of a model practicing her charm.
Look away little girl. An occasional heartfelt pleading stare into the face of your tormentor (for the sake of the shoot, that'd be the cameraman) is fine and dandy. But making eye contact with the viewfinder every other shot begs an audience to throw their hands up in disbelief.
If you're trying to sell content, that's not a good thing.
Models are also actresses. They have to play parts ranging from indignant anger at being deprived of their freedom, to the fearful realization as they realize that they're about to become the next sacrifice to Mr. Happy - God of Internet Tit Torture, or upon seeing the dreaded Nipple Clips of Doom approach; to excruciating pain as those dreaded clips bite down brutally on the carefully exposed bud of tender rosy flesh, or as Mr. Happy - God of Internet Tit Torture manifests surprisingly human looking human fingers and viciously twists the tip of her breast 720 degrees.
You'll notice, after fanning yourself back to room temperature, that there was no mention of June Cleaver, smiling brightly as Ward brandishes sterling silver pliers and compliments her on her cookies.
If you want to take a couple of smiley-faced shots as evidence to the authorities that your model was over the age of eighteen and voluntarily engaging in a legal paid commercial endeavor, knock yourself out. Just make sure that the majority of your shoot focuses on your model’s attempt at winning the Academy Award for “Best Actress in a Web-Based Torture Fantasy.”
