Hi guys,

We're really enjoying taking pictures, but feel we're not really up to scratch when we compare ours with some of the stunning shots we see on here.

Is there any websites that gives tips on taking great erotic pictures?

Not looking for any offers from photographers, thanks, just tips and websites that could help.

Thanks!

Stick to what you're doing it's more natural, we've got pics that don't make us look amazing but it's the picture we took and we have fun at the time so we like them, too many doctored or edited pics look a bit fake and seem to staged.

I use an app called Aviary on my phone for filters and I have a selfie stick and bluetooth remote.

I'm not as creative as some people.

I think little things help though.

If I'm taking a photo on my bed and I've got a busy duvet cover on it ill take it off and put a plain sheet down so there's less distraction on the image

Other than that it's trial and error.

I'd love to be able to take some of the really arty types I see on here x

Thanks - we don't want to doctor, or edit.

I guess it's more about poses, composition and lighting tips that we'd like to find out about.

To be honest, you don't really need much experience, just trial and error and having fun.

One tip is make sure the lighting is right though. Having the lights in the wrong place can totally ruin a good picture and if in doubt, go black and white! Always looks more classy!

All of our pics, apart from a couple of pro-shot ones, were done with a normal camera and some photo adjustment bits on the laptop. When altering some of them, just play around with the effects until you like what you see. As the lovely Pinkmist said, get a few good filters for your phone and get rid of clutter as well. Many a good shot of ours has been ruined by a stray slipper in the background!

One other tip is to 'hotlist' profile with pics you like the look of and try using them for inspiration when you've got the camera out.

Oops, you posted that while I was posting out last response! Lol!

Definitely look at other profiles and see what you like and use them for posing inspiration. We've got a few profile saved that we want to use.

Think about the background, if you see anything cluttered or intrusive when you look through the viewfinder, change position to make you guys the focus.

Speaking of which, don't just have pics of the lady either, the women of Fab need something to look at as well!

Nothing better than natural light in that sense

Crop your pictures so people don't get distracted by the background it's not through the key hole

Use a timer cam so you can sit your phone down to take the picture.

The only editing I do is use a colour filter on some because I wouldn't want people getting a shock when they meet me so less editing is best

As opposed to being totally and utterly distracted by the foreground a la your pics FabFem?

When I'm alone and in a pic mood the timer on my phone camera comes in very handy!

Using others for inspiration is what we do too, then sometimes we'll be having fun and he'll suddenly tell me not to move as it makes a great pic, lol!

Try not to be too posed and formal in pics, sometimes going with the flow gives great results!

So, who's profiles has the best photo's then?

I guess that's the next step, to find the profile photo's that are the best examples.

Any suggestions?

It's not so much the best, just have a nosy through today's pics and mark up anything you like

Lighting is probably the hardest thing to get right if doing indoor photoshoots

Apart from that, just take lots n' lots of pics and keep the best, that's what we do, lol

Thanks, that was the morning after the Edinburgh social and a meet. Mrs Spex is the one who thinks of ideas, although we do look through profiles etc for ideas. We just like playing around with the camera
