Whether it’s a wife, girlfriend, daughter, mother, grandmother, auntie or even a complete stranger – when you photograph a female, she expects you to make her look beautiful.

And you can do that – with the proper selection of clothing, lenses filters and lighting!

Here are some female photography tips you should try:

1. Ask your model to get plenty of rest the night before her portrait. It will produce natural fresh look that really important during the photograph process.

2. Photographic lights tend to wash out our faces and a touch extra make-up will help. Let her handle her own make-up but ask her to apply it a little heavy.

3. Stay away from turtle necks. V-necks tend to visually lengthen the neckline and upper torso and are slimming.

4. On clothing, stay away from prints and bold patterns. They will draw attention jut to the clothing but away from the face. Besides, we want her to be the star, not her clothing!

5. Shadows define shape – so darker colors that minimize the appearance of shadows are more slimming.

6. Have her turn about 45 degrees to the side so that she is not straight on to the camera. This can be the good position. 7. Shadows tend to recede in a photograph and brightly lit areas come forward – so whether you light the side of the face toward the camera (and have shadow on the other side), or whether you light the further side can make the face look thinner or wider as desired. No matter who you are, amateur or professional, there are always new things to meet and learn and add to your knowledges. I hope my simple female photography tips can help you generate a fantastic reputation for many females around you.
