Erotic Nude Photography 005 - Comparsion

This is a comparsion of two shots using the same model and the same pose as well as the same camera angle the only change that was made was the light and the angle of sun on the siders.

The Stats
Model: Chaser Baxton
Viewer: Emerald
Pose : Instinct Bed No.13
Skin, shape and Tats.. Model won't tell

First Picture.
I turned the viewer to basic night with out doing much of anything really. I turned the sun from left to right trying to move the shadows on the body, but as you can see it was not very successful and eventually I realised I was just wasting my time. The picture is flat and uninteresting even though the subject matter is worth looking at.

My personal thing is that I don't tweak and polish using photoshop, even though I have it, I try to use SL's inbuilt photography tools to create the atmosphere I need.

Second Picture
So I ran through the presets on Emerald and eventually decided on this one. I think the reason why is totally obvious, the light is so dramatic, the sky turned black, the sheet turned white ( which it actually was- it wasn't green at all) and every muscle and angle on Bax's body was highlighted to perfection. Even his knee is sexy and making knees especially man's knees sexy has gotta be worth something. I decided on this angle because as usual the model's face is not that important to me, I wanted to show the flow of this man's body.. I don't know about you, but I want to trail a fingertip down that neck and onto those pecs.. and maybe slide the flat of my hand....... ooops enough of that..

Well, so anyway as you can see my point is well made with these two comparsion photos, a little tweaking with the light sliders can make the difference between a okay photo and a ohlala photo..
