Nude photography is a difficult genre. To get good pictures here, knowing your camera and preparing good lighting are essential, but still not enough—you need a feeling for working with people, and tact. So we’ve prepared a few tips for you about what to think about and watch out for when photographing nudes.
Every photographer who’s doing nude photography can interpret this term a bit differently. And looking at their web galleries, you’ll see they each have a signature style. It may include favorite locations, unusual poses, special lighting, or specific post-production.
Just one article can’t cover that whole wide world, so here I’ll work primarily from my own experience and knowledge. And just like with my other articles, you can be sure that for every point, I’ve left many exceptions and alternatives untouched.
As a beginning nude photographer, you’ll work best with an experienced nude model—especially because of posing. Still, there are no limits to who you can work with.
While there are some photographers who obtain the model’s consent for photography in general and only persuade them to do nudes after they’re at the studio, I prefer the most precise advance agreement possible. First, this makes it clear that nudes are involved, and second, it gives the model a chance to decide what can be photographed and published.
Some models aren’t bothered by anything here, while with others you’ll need to reach an agreement on specific conditions. Some will need you to ensure they will remain anonymous, or that your photos won’t show full frontal nudity. Note that anonymity means both not showing their face and not showing other “identifiers” such as tattoos.
A contract with the model—a model release—is especially important before nude photography. It specifies:
Model releases are practical for photographers too: the model can’t later say that they’ve changed their mind and e.g. forbid the pictures’ publishing. So your work won’t be in vain.
A studio is the easiest choice, but you can essentially shoot in any place that won’t mean crossing limits for society (or your model). Both indoor and outdoor sites are fine. However, if you live in a place with a rich hiking culture, you’ll have to accept that forests, etc. won’t be people-free. Indoor shots eliminate this problem; you’ll be undistracted.
Your stylistic aims for the photo play a role here too. For photos based on precision and contours, it’s most practical to work at the studio; soft and natural photos, meanwhile, work best with nature itself.
Nude modeling is similar to acting and other performances. Your model has to pose differently than how they’d stand at, say, a bus stop. Dancers, especially ballet dancers, are experts here—they’ve trained both specific stances and overall elegance. Even if you pose them strangely, they’ll still look good.
Your specific approach to a given nude shot will be important for posing. Gentle, romantic poses will work without sweeping gestures.
But in many nudes, you can see how the model’s back is curved. While it looks normal and effortless in pictures, it really isn’t. And because it’s often true that the more their back is curved, the better, models will often deliberately exaggerate this element.
Likewise it’s good if the model’s feet are pointing outward—if the situation allows it. It doesn’t look good when a model is posing marvelously from their head down to their ankles, but their feet are at right angles to their body.
These photos also need the right expressions. I consider expressions to be the hardest part of this genre, because when it comes to poses, even a beginning model can learn the basic ones in their first hour. But work with facial expressions depends on experience and takes longer to train. So more experienced (older) models are at an advantage here. Although young extroverts can surprise you too.
Expressions are very important, and unfortunately they can also ruin a photo. For example when the model gawks into the lens with annoyance or terror.
You might wonder why they’d do that, but when you tell them everything you’ll be wanting from them, it can happen easily. You can have so many requirements that they start thinking so hard about posing, they forget about their faces. As a photographer, you have to evaluate whether the model’s current expression is right, or whether you want something else.
If neither you nor the model is sure where they should look, there are several good options worth a try.
The first is for them to look downward. This can often be more appropriate than if they were looking out into the distance. When the model is looking at the ground, it gives the picture a softer look. The previous picture is a good example.
Sometimes closed eyes are better; they provide a truly dreamlike atmosphere. And they completely remove the problem of which way to look.
My last tip for more relaxed photos is to have the model’s mouth open slightly. When it’s tightly closed, the picture looks stricter.
Also note that naturally, you’ll avoid worries about facial expressions in photos that don’t show a face.
You have a flood of possibilities when you’re working with light. Some people prefer naturally lighted scenes, while others prefer studio flashes, which they have completely under control. You can also combine natural and artificial light.
You don’t have to feel limited here. There is, however, one striking kind of lighting that’s used in nude photography often—one that’s a favorite and that I’d like to mention.
In its purest form, it produces traditional studio shots where there’s a dark model who’s outlined by light contours. Creating this effect is easy. You simply need to place the flashes (usually within softboxes) alongside the model and turn them towards the camera.
You can also use a similar approach outside the studio. Then you can have an artificially produced rim of light as a supplement to existing light.
You’ll rarely go wrong when using black and white for nude photography. And above all the dramatic, outlined shots from the last section have so little color inherently that you can’t even tell the difference between black-and-white and color photos.
Still, there are situations where there are more colors in play, or where the model’s skin is so superb that the color original is pleasant and problem-free as well.
Personally, I often try both variants and pick one of them for publishing. The disadvantage of this approach is that sometimes I like both versions and I have to pick just one with a heavy heart.
There are many styles and ideas for photographing nudes. If you let yourself try out a variety of approaches, this may sometimes bring unavoidable errors and failed photos, but it will also enable you to create something new.
So don’t be afraid to experiment and try out shot types outside of your comfort zone.

Just like finding foundation that seamlessly blends into your skin, finding the perfect shade of nude tights can feel impossible. Especially when plenty of brands just slap the word “nude” on three different takes on beige and call it a day. That said, there are a ton of cool and inclusive companies out there who are breaking the mold and putting their focus on hosiery for all women. You know, so you can actually find a pair of tights that look natural—and just like you. Here, we scoured the web to find the 11 best nude tights for women.

Best For: Fair to medium-brown tones.

We’re not exaggerating when we tell you these are the sheerest sheer tights we’ve ever slipped on. Their skin-tone match is so spot-on that we’d almost describe them as transparent. Our only complaint? Currently, Donna Karan offers nude solutions for fair to medium-brown skin, which isn’t very helpful to those who tend to fall on the darker end of the skin tone spectrum. Other than that, these babies truly may be our go-to pair of nude tights!
Best For: Caramel to deep-brown tones.

Known within the hosiery industry as a leader in inclusivity, Nubian Skin is a Black-owned brand focused on undergarments that suit women of brown shades. And they’ve got the entire spectrum covered, from light to deep shades. That said, Nubian Skin’s colors are marked with cutesy names like “berry” and “cinnamon,” so trying to identify which one was right for us was a bit challenging at first. But after referencing their skin-tone guide, which uses a list of popular makeup shades to find your perfect match, we were able to find our match. While these aren’t the sturdiest of tights in terms of durability and wear, they’re affordable enough to replace easily if you (like us) happen to experience any wear and tear.
Best For: Fair to medium-brown tones.

After surveying over 100,000 women, Heist went on a mission to create tights that catered to all women. These high-quality performance tights are made in Italy from premium fabrics that promise not to sag or dig-in while you’re wearing them. Countless online reviews rave about the durability and softness of these—claiming minimal concerns about the potential for unwanted snags. However, many reviewers also wished for more colors that extend beyond the brand’s seven offerings. And women with deeper tones expressed that the brand’s dark shades were a close match, but not quite spot-on. So, if you’re planning on giving these a try, consider trying out a few different shades to make sure you get one that matches.
Best For: Fair to medium-brown tones

If you haven’t already heard of the world’s strongest tights, where have you been? This innovative brand prides itself in creating hosiery that’s virtually immune to snags and pulls. How? Well, Sheertex tights are made from fibers that are typically used in performance apparel—meaning, they’re made to last. While the brand does offer three different shades of nude (light, medium, and dark) they’re not super sheer. As for the price? Consider these an investment. They’re comfortable, well-made, and strong as hell—so they just might be the last pair of tights that you ever buy.
Best For: Caramel to deep-brown tones.

This direct-to-consumer hosiery company, owned and run by a South Asian woman, sells a wide variety of shades for women who prefer sheer, nearly invisible, tights. Just like Nubian Skin, the brand provides a shade guide on their website that references MAC foundation to find a true tone match. According to reviewers, the brand gets an A+ for both fit and comfortability since they don’t sag or dig into your waistline. However, some reviews do express concerns over their durability, so you might want to stock up on a few pairs of the shade that matches you best.
Priding itself on its revolutionary sizing system, Hipstiks hosiery boasts inclusivity when it comes to skin tones and body types. By focusing on the proportions of a woman’s waist and tummy and her body shape (triangle, hourglass, V-shape, etc.), Hipstiks is able to address fit concerns that most other hosiery brands ignore. These tights also feature a silicone waistband that stays put, so you don’t have to worry about them slipping down throughout the day. Available in four different shades of nude, ranging from light to dark-brown tones, these are a great option for recurring wears that are nearly invisible.
Best For: Fair, medium-brown, and deep-brown tones.

Whether you’re a fan of the Kardashians or not, one thing’s for sure: Kim Kardashian knows her way around shapewear. After having seen success in the undergarment and loungewear categories, her Skims brand expanded its product offering this year to include hosiery. Their tights are available in three nude shades servicing women from fair to deep-brown skin tones, which means women who fall in between those shades could find it difficult to find a match. However, the quality and construction are what landed these a spot on this list. In fact, the Full Control Tights are designed with a built-in control top hugs you exactly where you need it to—including the tricky tummy area. While they may seem a little pricey, these are basically a two-in-one shapewear purchase.
The name Bianca Miller may ring a bell if you’re familiar with the BBC hit show, The Apprentice. After finishing as a runner-up in 2014, Miller went on to pursue her dream of creating inclusive hosiery for women of color by launching this eponymous brand. Her Nude Hosiery collection includes eight different shades ranging from fair ivory to deep, dark brown and each shade is also available in a hold-up style, if that’s more your thing.
Best For: Light to medium-brown tones.

Natori’s legwear is adored by fans for being extremely well-fitting. Seriously, almost every review on the company’s website boasts about the incredibly smooth fit and comfortable feel. While the shade range could definitely use a few more additions to be truly inclusive of Black women, the customers who did find their perfect match claim that the sheerness is what keeps them coming back.
Wolford’s silky-soft Individual 10 tights boast hosiery in six different shades of nude. And they’re really, truly sheer; one customer shares that since they look so natural, she often forgets she even
